QUICK FACTS ABOUT MISS MARA
- Can comfortably accommodate up to 10 passengers.
- There are three cruises available each day; Sunrise Cruises, Midday Cruises and Sunset Cruises.
- Skippers are all qualified, and the cruises are manned by the specific guide allocated to guests.
- Cruises take place on a dam called Python Dam, which stretches about two kilometres in length, and one hundred metres wide at some points along its course.
HINT: This is a really special option to consider if you are planning something special as a honeymoon treat, birthday or anniversary surprise, or romantic proposal.
- The SUNRISE CRUISE starts after sunrise. This one is for “Twitcher”, as we concentrate more on the birds along the river. Although there is always a chance that we will see animals at the water’s edge. The cruises last about one and a half to two hours.
- The SUNSET CRUISE starts around 05:00pm and lasts about one and a half to two hours. The sunsets are spectacular, and this is a wonderful time of day to enjoy the peace and milder temperature as the sun moves out of the sky.
