    It feels super friendly and relaxing to cruise on the river. The Captain was sharing much information about the place's name and curiosity about the river. I like to see other people's reviews and experiences. Ours was enough positive. I would say to this lovely "family business", add some carrots and celery to your nibble. "Healthy" food. The cruise is delightful and calming. The sea is so different when you are at the same level. I have flown many times in the bay with my drone. This cruise feels nice. I highly Raccomand for a pleasant afternoon. My advice. Check the wheater πŸŒŠπŸ˜…πŸ™Œ

    Most memorable ride since my arrival in Australia!!! Truly amazing Captain Pete and his crew were super cool and the accompanying humour whilst describing places of interest in GC was extraordinary. Thank you for such a memorable evening.

    Good tour around the waterways, get to learn a bit about the houses on the river and interesting facts. Boat is not the most glamorous but your not paying top dollar it's clean and tidy, good value for money.

    Absolutely Awesome experience yesterday. The captain was hilarious and shared a wealth of information about every area that he took us to. It was a pleasant experience for me & my wife. I must add it's a new experience for us as we are visiting Australia as a tourist and have not been on such a long duration cruise before. Highly recommend taking a cruise at Gold Coast.

  • 5/5 Faith Glorienne D. 9 months ago on Google
    The sunset cruise was amazing! As a lover of the skyline, river and ocean I really enjoyed it. Additionally, the complimentary snacks and the funny & knowledgeable cruise captain made the experience more entertaining ! It really is worth the price. I will defo try this again on my next gold coast holiday!

    We did the sunset cruise. A very lovely cruise, very relaxing. The crew and captain were lovely, funny, knowledgeable and patient. They allowed the children to ride the boat which they loved. Definitely will do again. Highly recommend

    We 3 girls had a fantastic sunset cruise, very reasonably prices cocktails and champagne, nibbles plates also. Our captains commentary was informative and fun. Highly recommended as thoroughly enjoyable.

  • 5/5 Trevor H. 9 months ago on Google
    This was a very relaxing way to wind up a busy day on the coast. Easy to book, easy to find, easy to board. I highly recommend the sunset cruise. We sat upstairs to enjoy the unimpeded views provided there. The ride was very smooth as it was a very calm day. I'm not a great sailor, but had no trouble touring these canals πŸ˜‰ The snacks provided were perfect. The onboard drinks seemed very reasonably priced, although our group did not partake 😁

    Great cruise at sunset. We sat in comfort downstairs sipping on some cocktails and lovely nibbles offered as part of the cruise. Bar service was great and crew were very informative about points of interest during the cruise. We were treated as VIP's as we were the only people sitting downstairs. So we took photos, sipped good cocktails and nibbled on cheese, olives and crackers as well as lovely salami!

  • 5/5 Yuchen S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good service and kind staff. I was late for the morning cruise and they placed me on afternoon cruise. The price of drinks is cheaper than the restaurants in surfers paradise.

    Great cruise, gorgeous sunsets. I would recommend this cruise to everyone. Captain was knowledgeable and super friendly. The crew took photos of me with the sunset in the background. Cocktails and happy hour were great. Great value for money.

    Beautiful experience and very knowledgeable crew. Loved hearing about thr history of the area and the complimentary cheese, biscuits and nibbles. Also very much enjoyed my drinks from the bar onboard.

  • 5/5 Ash R. 1 year ago on Google
    Went on the Sunset river cruise. Complimentary food was very nice to snack on. Family friendly and had two toilets onboard. Lots of cocktails and mocktails. Good pricing for drinks too. Would recommend for people looking to have an enjoyable evening on the canals. Sunset was gorgeous too.

  • 5/5 Zane I. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a wonderful time on the cruise. The trip was very scenic, relaxing and overall an enjoyable day out. The crew were very friendly and the captain's commentary was informative and entertaining. Perfect combination of both education and humor that kept us engaged (and laughing) all the while. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Surfers Paradise looking for something fun to do.

  • 5/5 Lyn S. 1 year ago on Google
    Took the sunset cruise night before last. Had a lovely night along the river. Family owned and run business. They do a fabulous job and make the hour and a half very entertaining and enjoyable. Well worth the money - definitely recommend. Also included are complementary nice little nibbles which is just a nice little added bonus. Great thing to do before dinner or going out for the evening. Bar on board where you can purchase drinks. Fun time - Thank you!

  • 5/5 Chels H. 1 year ago on Google
    Was a fun time & very friendly captain and staff. Cheese & crackers were a yummy snack while cruising the waterways. Only suggestion would be to have complimentary water on board, especially for hot days in the sun on the top deck. Very enjoyable evening!

  • 4/5 Jason De Freitas (. 1 year ago on Google
    We took the 2pm cruise and it was a great experience overall. We grabbed some cheese and crackers and purchased some drinks before heading to the top deck. It was a smooth journey the whole way and the only minor feedback would be that the audio was a little bit low at times, otherwise I highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Zack J. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly staff. Amazing experience in the cruise, very informative, complementary crackers and cheese, good menu for drinks on board. Beautiful views while cruising. If you have magazines or tour guide books handy look for 10% discount vouchers otherwise you can staff if you stay in the hotel. Overall experience is fun and nice.

  • 4/5 Maureen A. 1 year ago on Google
    The Afternoon cruise was very enjoyable to my friend and myself. We found the staff welcoming and informative, making our experience better than anticipated. We where treated to cheese and biscuits and bought very reasonably priced drinks. It was well worth the price and we actually spotted the dolphins which really made our day.

  • 5/5 Jacqui W. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Natasa B. 2 years ago on Google
    What an amazing experience! This is now our third time doing this cruise over several years and would definitely go back again. The captain was professional, entertaining and engaging. The kids had a blast!
