4.00A most enjoyable trip. The commentary was very interesting and we learned a lot about Brisbane. Well worth doing. The only downside was the afternoon tea. Great value for money.
Nice relaxing boat trip

4.00Nice little boat trip, the comments about the things to see along the trip were done in a pleasant voice and very good to understand ( not like in an airplane where you can’t understand anything the captain says). The crew even put complementary tea, coffee and fresh pastries up which were very nice. The trip could be shortened to an hour as the last 15 minutes weren’t too exciting, but overall a very nice experience.
Wonderful welcome to Australia 🇦🇺

5.00The welcoming amazing and safety paramount. My husband enjoyed the local beer,called felon. Plus the ginger 🫚 beer went down to well. All guests had complimentary, coffee,cakes ,tea. But the history needed to be abit louder ,only because of noisy water jets going by constantly. From old to new ,the speaker explained everything perfectly.
Comfortable and relaxed

5.00It was really nice, staff friendly and informative and we appreciated that we could still enjoy the tour with light rain as there was a waterproof clear plastic protection on the upper deck so that was great.
Great views and an interesting history lesson.

5.00I've been to Brisbane before but have never been on a river cruise. It was really interesting to see the sights from a different perspective and to hear the commentary about the history of the various places we passed. The bar was handy and it was a great view from the top deck.

3.00Boat cruise was a bit “meh”. The “guide” was a recording that was not very engaging. We were hoping for an actual human telling us stories and background of the sites we cruised by. The seats were not that comfortable. You could sit in benches around the perimeter of the upper deck, but then you faced inward instead of outward. Or, you could sit on some plastic chairs in the middle around tables.
Good value cruise on a sunny day

5.00An excellent way to spend a sunny afternoon. Cute boat, amusing and informative commentary and not too crowded. Good value for a 90 minute cruise.
Fun time boating down the river!

5.00We had a great time on the boat ride. They gave us all the history of everything we saw, & the boat layout made it easy for all on board to see. They also had refreshments available- some for purchase. We would recommend this excursion to all ages.
