A very nice 4 hour cruise and lunch - Very efficient and friendly from the time we checked in till we left. The cruise was just the right length (in time and distance), very interesting commentary relevant to where we were along the route, comfortable seating and allocated tables- (but you could wander around and go upstairs at your wish). The lunch was just perfect, cold meats, fruits, cheeses, really fresh bread and the prawns were fresh and very tasty. We ordered oysters which were a nice starter as well. Bar prices reasonable and the staff were fabulous. Overall, would recommend this for a bit of local history and a very pleasant 4 hours.

Great Service, great food and clean boat - Do yourself a favour and book. Murray’s knowledge was awesome. We learnt a lot on board and not over the top. Alana’s service and friendliness made us feel even more comfortable. Nothing was too much for her. She didn’t stop the whole trip. Thanks guys for a great outing and we look forward to coming back.

Good value for money - Great cruise and lovely lunch. Bit disappointing we did not make it to the rain forest as the weather did not permit. But overall enjoyed.
