    Very romantic, enjoyable & relaxing sunset cruise with a red rose, champagne, chocolates & seafood platter. Absolutely beautiful to watch the city transform into the City of Lights from the water.

    A decent experience, I felt like 30 minutes was long enough, 1 hour would be too long. The bow waves from other boats can impact the serenity of the experience. Make sure to wear a lot of sun protection as there isn't a lot of cover if you have more than two people.

    A wonderful experience! Booking was easy through the website, and Alan (the owner) contacted us very quickly to confirm our booking and details. You can pay cash or card when you arrive for your booking. A lovely and relaxing way to spend and afternoon on the Swan. Alan also plays some traditional Italian music to add to the atmosphere.

    Husband and I had a terrific hour long sunset cruise on the Swan. It was such a wonderful experience. The gondola was wonderful and stable. Sitting in the water gives a unique perspective on the beautiful Swan River and Perth. Complete with Blankets, curtains and music. This is such a terrific experience and would recommend it to everyone.

    What a magical afternoon, with a romantic gondola ride, italian music and a bit of champagne to top it off. We loved every minute and will definitely come back for another date.

    My wife and I did the sunset hour gondola ride to celebrate our anniversary. This was a really fun and romantic way to see Perth from the Swan River. Alan truly delivered a perfect experience. Would highly recommend!

    Really enjoyable experience. A great way to have a quick trip out into the water. If you are visiting Perth this should definitely be on your to-do list.

    Great experience on the lovely swan river. Did it in winter with a beautifully flat river - stunning views of the city. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Louise F. 1 year ago on Google
    A relaxing and memorable experience in the heart of the city. We did the 30min option with the bubbles and that was a good amount of time, although I could have always done longer as it was so relaxing but maybe next time. Thanks

  • 4/5 Iosif P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very beautiful experience. Very friendly and the skipper made it very enjoyable, didn't feel the bumps to much from the river very smooth. Music was lovely... seating was actually very pleasant and comfortable. Love that you had the option to sit undercover in the shaded area and also in the open. Recommend this for anyone even if you have kids. They actually give you the time specified on the booking which nowadays many don't unfortunately but this is what makes them stand out. I believe the skippers name was Alan.

    Thank you Alan! A peaceful and romantic start to our mornings this gondola ride was smooth and complimented the glorious weather perfectly! Would recommend as a moment to gather yourself with someone else and take a moment on the water to cuddle!

  • 5/5 Dee F. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic way to see the river and view on the city from South Perth heading back into Elizabeth Quay. We did the 1hr cruise.

    What a wonderful and relaxing experience. After our Plan A for a swan river cruise failed with another company Alan was amazing and very accommodating for our tour. Thank you so much Alan we had an awesome experience 😀

  • 5/5 V W. 2 years ago on Google
    This experience was absolutely beautiful. Would definitely recommend Alan and his services. I booked a cruise for my boyfriend’s birthday for 6pm; the summer evening was sensational at this time. The gondola was in great shape; clean, comfortable, and the glass holder and ice bucket was perfect. Alan is super friendly, professional and nothing short of hospitable. Thank you very much Alan.

    My wife and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary by taking a gondola ride on the Swan River. The ride was smooth and really enjoyable with music to serenade us on the journey. The half hour trip was a great way to top off a beautiful day.

    It was a beautiful feeling

  • 5/5 Todd M. 2 years ago on Google
    What a fantastic experience today was , took the wife on a 30 minute gondola ride which was just so relaxing and enjoyable .Would recommend all to do this but next time I will be going for an hour as we did not want it to end. Dolphins swimming alongside was just the icing on the cake :)

    A must try! A new experience in swan river with nice view of the city

  • 5/5 Bella 3 years ago on Google
    It was really spontaneous! We saw the stall when we got off the ferry at Elizabeth quays but no one was around, my partner called to enquire about a gondola ride and the lovely man (didn’t get his name) said he was booked but could squeeze us in for 15 mins. It was absolutely lovely, there was romantic music playing and it felt private and special. It was just an amazing experience! We are already looking at booking the platter and champagne packages for a longer period of time! definitely recommend!

    Relaxing and excellent service! Alan, was so helpful. Even though it had been raining furiously in the week he gave me updates on whether we would go ahead. Good ol fashioned customer service.

    Myself and my partner had an hour long cruise on the Swan and loved the entire experience. The cruise was beautiful the gondola is gorgeous! We had a platter, wine and a to go bag of choclates with the Silver package which you can customise to your preferred liking of whats on offer, this is a great romantic day out or you can go with friends to if you want also, we couldnt thank gondola on the Swan more for the entire thing, This is such a terrific experience to have and we would recommend it to anyone wanting a unique yet lovely days outing in Perth.

👍👍 So, how many places in the world can you travel on a steam powered ship? Not many i would bet but you can in Perth. I am a long term resident of Perth and always assumed it was a conventionally powered ship dressed up to look like a paddle steamer. But PS Decoy is a piece of heritage still working...

👍 Had a cruise for my Year 10 formal. It was a very good cruise, albeit a tad overcrowded although this isn’t the cruise’s fault. The ship herself is quite literally a large glass cube with two floors, a dining room upstairs and a dance floor downstairs. There are a few balconies around the ship, bot...
