Since 1978, Grand River Dinner Cruises has served meals highlighted by roast beef aboard three dinner cruises: the Grand River Belle; Grand River Queen; and Grand River Princess. During the three-hour dinner cruise, which operates from May through October, the captain points out sites and shares stories regarding the history of the Grand River and Six Nations Reserve.
Luncheon, sunset and private dinner cruise packages are available, as are Sunday cruises and private morning coffee cruises. Each package varies in price and length. Reservations are required for any dinner cruise, and the boats are wheelchair accessible and enclosed, which means the dinner cruises take place rain or shine.
