The Captain was very entertaining and shared the history of the many highlights as we cruised the river and Marina. A beautiful and relaxing afternoon to cruise this gorgeous river all the way to the ocean.

Great, friendly crew. Relaxing and informative cruise with good views! The captain and staff took the time to answer questions and the mock tails were very refreshing on a hot day!

Lovely on the water, beautiful staff and well organised.
Good to see how the other half live.
Cheese and cracker were sweet, drink prices very affordable, even had happy hour for a short while.
Know Gold Coast in 90 minutes

Trip was short, but nice. Staff were good and courteous.
It would have been still better if on the way, history of the important places would be told to the tourists and on return some entertainment program is added.
Good

This was one of the highlights to my Gold Coast trip. The jet boat was seriously a lot of fun and a great way to get soaked. The chopper ride out over the city as the sun was setting was also a brilliant cap to a great experience.
Great thing to do

river cruise
Jenson_M, June 2019
the crew member onwarded Ashlee performed very well. She is very much friendly and helpful thru out. A note of big thanks to her. please retain her for her excellent performance and service onboard.
Captain Peter performed very well too, He gives very clear and direct information for all the spots which were visited. The whole cruise journery is well planned. one particular thanks to the Operation Manager is her telephone reminder when me and my son were rushing in the street to the boarding venue. Highly appreciate this personalised service. Well done
Relaxing
Karen_S, Jan 2019
A fantastic way to spend an hour and a half of your holiday! Relaxing and peaceful trip up the river. Gazing into the gardens of homes you can only dream of!Entertaining and informative narrative. Great cocktail too ! 😊
Excellent afternoon cruise
robert_h, Dec 2018
My family and I really enjoyed our cruise last sunday afternoon. The boat was comfortable and the crew very friendly and helpful. We got to see the Gold Coast canals and harbours with a quiet drink and pleasant commentary. For a reasonable price this is a trip worth doing.
