Great way to travel on the river. Lunch at the pub was a fab experience. Plenty of time to explore the pub and the area around

A delightful experience, well organised and enjoyable. From the first boarding to the return sail home this was more than expected. Will do this again.

Really fun thing to do in Brisbane! Nice to get out on the water and lunch was delicious. I even got to tap the wooden keg at the historic bar.

Leisurely time to start the cruise , morning tea was lovey scones jam and cream. A short 10 minute walk from the boat to lunch . Lunch at The Breakfast Hotel was great . Good choices. Watching the tapping of the timber keg and a sample beer also included . Crew on the boat and staff at the hotel were very attentive . Just shame we didn’t have a fine day weather wise .

Had no trouble finding the area to meet the boat. I sat on the upper deck and had no problem hearing the commentary. I saw other reviews where they said that it was difficult to understand, but I found it to be very clear. The scones and coffee or tea was a nice start to the day. Breakfast Creek Hotel was a bit tricky to find. The keg tapping was interesting and the (recommended) fish and chips tasty. Definitely recommend this for an overall relaxing tour, good history , and with a little bit of exercise on the way to and from lunch.
