Relaxing, informative. - Cataract Gorge and information regarding river wildlife. One regret is that the exterior seating at the rear of the boat has been done away with. When I did this river trip March 2023, the seating was there. It was a wonderful experience to sit there at times during the trip. I recommend that you restore this seating!

Not worth the money! - The guide was quite knowledgeable, the cruise was boring and they over sold the food. It was a few muffins and fruit cake followed by focaccias and a bit of cheese, you also had to pay for alcohol . Definitely not worth $150 pp
