3Hr Riverboat Postman Hawkesbury River Cruise

The Riverboat Postman has been delivering mail to river-access-only properties along the Hawkesbury River since 1910. Book the Hawkesbury River cruise and you can be part of this unique tradition! A must-do experience on the Central Coast of NSW, the Riverboat Postman invites you and your group to a relaxing sightseeing and dining experience on the serene Hawkesbury River.

Experience the majestic Hawkesbury River and all its splendid nooks and crannies up close from the riverboat. Cruise past river-access-only settlements – Dangar and Milson Islands, Bar Point, Marlow Creek, Kangaroo Point, Fisherman’s Point and Milson’s Passage – as mail and other essentials get delivered! 

See how fast the crew work – delivering the mail or parcel as the boat slows down, before getting back on board in time. The Skippers are locals who have lived around these parts their whole lives. They’ll crack you up with some fun anecdotes about the river and its people.

You get a steaming cup of coffee, tea, and crunchy homemade ANZAC biscuits on your cruise. Come midday, a ploughman's style lunch is also served on board. There is also a well-stocked licensed bar with wines, beer and other beverages, available for purchase.

The Hawkesbury River is a sanctuary to plenty of local bird species, so be sure to bring some cameras or binoculars if you wanna get a good look at them.

So in a nutshell, the Riverboat Postman cruise is a fantastic option for residents and first-timers to relax in the midst of a serene river. You’ll see mail get delivered, enjoy the breathtaking riverbanks, and share stories about the river’s past – it’s much more than a boat ride. Book now.
