2.00Not worth the price paid for, you can do if you have spare time but i would suggest to look out for other activities which would be worth the time and money

5.00Make sure you check which port to board from as there are multiple docks near the waiting area. Staff were very friendly and the captain filled with historical facts about the area.
Nothing to get excited about

3.00The boat ride was ok. Didn't go too far. Good commentary. Was pretty average for a boat ride. 510 rating. Went for 50minutes which was enough.
Yes, well worth the experience.

5.00We went on this cruise on 3 Dec 2024 (couple) at 3:30pm It was well worth the time and low cost. We booked in advance. Duration 1 hour, went up the Estuary / Harbour, and then to the Cataract Falls. The Skipper was the guide, he was good - Thank you. There was recorded commentary filled in various places along the way. The Harbour was interesting and historic. The old Bridge was worth photos and the history. The Cataract Gorge was good to see and photograph. Yes, well worth the experience.
Wonderful

Cruising Cataract Gorge Currents

3.00The river cruise offered an overall average experience. I opted for this trip to give my partner a break from driving, and while the river cruise wasn't exceptional, it was decent. However, the true standout moments were found at the remarkable Cataract Gorge and the historic old bridge. They were the clear highlights of our trip.
Ok. Interesting.

3.00It was ok. Certainly the Captain told us lots of facts. It could be improved by the Captain explaining the Aboriginal influence and presence and about any rare species living in the Gorge. And the check on staff could smile more.
