Excellent cruise of Swan River - Trip was a lovely cruise down the Swan River, and had a very friendly and informative captain. Loved learning about all of the places as we sailed past them. Took loads of pictures as well. It was very good to learn about Perth on our first trip to the city.
The crew were also very friendly and welcoming.
Would definitely recommend this.

Great time spent on board. You can go one way to or from Freemantle and use other means of transport to go or come back - Great experience, polite staff, reasonable prices on board. Not overcrowded in January :)
Great value for money compared to european attractions.
