🌌 The Magic of the Night Sky – Stargazing Cruise
Have you ever seen the universe like this? Our Stargazing Cruise with renowned astronomer Dave Reneke is a truly magical night out.
✨ Monthly sailings – limited seats available! Next cruise is on Thursday 15th May.
Enjoy an engaging Secrets of the Universe presentation, a laser-guided sky tour, binocular stargazing, and delicious refreshments while you cruise the calm evening waters.
Here’s what a happy cruiser had to say:
We attended the first ever Port AdVenture Cruises star gazing astronomy night with the brilliant Dave Reneke. It was absolutely WONDERFUL! Dave shared his deep knowledge about the universe and skies above us with a relaxed and humorous communication style and stories that are memorable. No trip to Port Macquarie would be complete without the relaxing Hastings River Dolphin spotting cruise and tonight there was a whole new dimension to the experience!! Thank you - we feel very honoured to have experienced the first trip of this type and could not recommend it more highly!. Just wish our grandchildren were with us to have enjoyed it too! This cruising experience with Port AdVenture Cruises is so customer focused and the catering is second to none - true hospitality! - Di Barnes

Rhythmboat Celebrates 10th Anniversary ⭐️❤️⭐️
We're turning TEN! It was in May 2015 when we proudly purchased the Rhythmboat for Sydney Harbour cruises specialising in live entertainment. The pandemic brought our business and live entertainment to a half for nearly two years. We then made the business decision to cease business at Sydney Harbour and 'start again' here in Port Macquarie with the Rhythmboat in 2021.
It was never on our minds that we would one day be operating this vessel on the Hastings River in Port Macquarie, but four years later, we are very pleased with our decision, and we have so many people to thank who have made this possible because of their wonderful support!
