Pleasant Experience - I would recommend this lunchtime cruise. The skipper Eric provided a great commentary and his crew being Wil and Crystal were really helpful. Lunch included a selection of local food, and of course, some prawns. There is a bar on board wherein you can purchase drinks. The only hiccup was a belt which broke on the engine which resulted in the boat being anchored for a short time whist the skipper attended to the repairs. However, the skipper was a "jack of all trades" and attended to the repairs with no fuss and the patrons all clapped when we were back under way. I would also like to point out the booking experience was easy and SMS communications were excellent, but, there was some confusion around whether the departure time was Qld or NSW time. Overall, I would recommend this tour, allow around three hours.

“lovely day out” !!!!! - This was an excellent experience, The Captain gave a very insightful commentary for the entire trip and was complemented by the rest of the staff. The food was very yummy, fresh and plentiful from local supplier’s. Easily the best travel experience we have enjoyed during our stay on the Gold Coast.

Amazing cruise - The cruise was amazing. I went with my husband and two children, 16 & 14. I was worried they would get bored but they had an incredible time. The commentary was just enough, not overbearing like some can be, but informative and gave you time to just enjoy nature. The food was delicious and there was an abundance of it. The pelican feeding was a highlight and we even got to see some dolphins. We had such a lovely time as a family and it truely was a highlight of our trip.
