How the other half live :-) - We had a lovely time cruising with Captain Pete , he gave us lots of information , had great local knowledge & was very friendly. A nice way to finish our visit to the GC with a cocktail or 2 , some cheese & biccies & a relaxing cruise on the waterways seeing how the other half live - also excellent value for money

Very enjoyable cruise - My family did the city lights cruise on our last night on the GC. It was a lovely relaxing way to finish the holiday and the captain and girls on the boat were all lovely and offered funny and interesting commentary along the way. Highly recommend and we will do it again when we’re back! Thank You!

Stunning city lights. - What a really beautiful evening. The lights where stunning, so many awesome photos. The staff where great. Nice and friendly, the captain let the children have a drive of the vessel. Ohh and the cocktails where yummy with delicious self serve snacks. A must do activity if your in surfers paradise.

No commentary! - The cruise description promised ‘fun facts commentary’ but there was none! The most we got was ‘We are going under a bridge, mind your heads’.
