About the Nepean Belle Paddlewheeler

The Nepean Belle was launched in October 1982 by the Wekeling family. In October of 2013, local residents Chris and Carol Bennett purchased the Paddlewheeler. Chris had already worked on the boat since it began operating.

What makes Nepean Belle Cruises so special? The Nepean Belle is an oldfashioned style Paddlewheeler.

Its beauty and grace make for a fun and romantic getaway. Hearing the paddlewheels churning and the water slapping against the hull gives off that nostalgic feeling that makes for an unforgettable experience. The interior is panelled with stained cedar and teak timbers.

The Scenic Nepean Cruise

Everyone will enjoy a Nepean River cruise. From the young to the matured. Nepean Belle Cruises set sail from Tench Reserve, Tench Avenue, Jamisontown NSW and travels the Nepean River areas of the Blue Mountains National Park and the Nepean Gorge. The views are spectacular, and the experience is one you will never forget.

In Blue Mountains National Park, you will see impeccable views of the remote wilderness and see wildlife in their natural habitat. You may catch a glimpse of a white breasted sea eagle, wallabies, lizards, cormorants or other native species.

The trip runs through “the Narrows” at “Rocky Island” and reaches its turning point at Euroka Creek. Beyond that is an area that is filled with history only known by the Aboriginal Dharug people. These natives lived here centuries before the Nepean area was settled by the Europeans.

During the evening cruises, passengers are able to witness the landscape in a whole different light. The Nepean Belle Paddlewheeler lights up the area with onboard flood lighting.
