4.00Great way to get your bearings in Brizzy and see the sights. Just a taster so need to do something else if you want full on history.
Excellent way to relax

5.00Gentle and relaxing cruise down the river and back for 1.5hrs, I did the morning cruise with tea and scones which were very tasty. Interesting to see the city from the river. The commentary was interesting with historical facts but not over powering. The staff were friendly and helpful without being in your face all the time and safety on board was dealt with in a professional manner. I thought it was good value for the price of the ticket.

4.00It was not a very good cruise because there was not much to see. Brisbane just is not that impressive by the water. It’s also a very short cruise.
Great afternoon Cruise

5.00I’m so glad we did this. I booked it last minute on our first day in Brisbane. It was so lovely and relaxed. We saw so much of Brisbane and it gave us great ideas of what else to do on our trip. We saw way more of the river than I thought we would, the staff were informative, helpful, and entertaining. It was even raining halfway through the tour but it didn’t interfere at all. Highly recommend during your stay in Brisbane.
Brilliant way to see the city

5.00I thought this might be a bit of fun, I have not lived in Brisbane for 30 years and loved learning the history and seeing the city from a different perspective. Went with my brother who still lives in Brisbane and he too learnt some new things. Crew was great, the coffee and pastries were an added bonus. Absolutely loved it. Would highly recommend and we now plan to do this each time I come back - a new tradition and a great way to see how Brisbane continues to grow.
