Great afternoon was had by all aboard - We had a lovely afternoon cruising & seeing the sights around Surfers Paradise. Amelia was wonderful, very friendly & made a great cocktail. The captain was very informative & gave us some history & fun facts along the way. This is a great family owned business & deserves our support.

Money well spent. Highly recommended. - This river cruise was awesome. We had pretty low expectations but I was pleasantly surprised and quite impressed. The cruise lasted quite a while, well and truly enough time to have a good look along the river. Even our kids had fun, it was slow and relaxing but very interesting. The captain and his offsider had some very informative and interesting commentary. There were commentary cakes, biscuits, tea and coffee as well. I really enjoyed this river cruise and we'll definitely be going again, but I think we'll do the sunset cruise next time. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a fun, informative and relaxing cruise.

Will post bad reviews online… - Disappointed, no go , miss trip, lost $207.00. Have been charged in USD , why not in AUD ? We are living in Australia and I am booking in Australia. Why charged me by US dollars? Un believable, never ever book with this website again and will post a bad review online…
