The staff was very nice. If it rains and they have to put the flaps down on the upper deck and can get very warm....but they were quick to roll them back up when it stopped. The coffee...tea and scones were very good.

A very enjoyable 3 .5 hours. Tour went very well. We really enjoyed the commentary. The only issue was with booking a car park at the P2 in front of the museum, it states in your literature you send with the ticket that you can pre - book a car park at the P2 parking at the museum. In fact, you cannot prebook there it just you arrive.

This was a lovely day out on the Brisbane River. The boat was very comfortable and easy to navigate. We had lunch at the Breakfast CK Hotel where the food was fresh...and filling, the staff were helpful and the atmosphere was inviting.

It was an excellent trip, the vessel was clean, the scones were delicious and the presentation at the Breakfast Creek Hotel over lunch was a bonus. I would highly recommend the cruise and the staff of both the cruise line and the Breakfast Creek Hotel.

The journey starts on the Brisbane River on board a boat. You cruise down thr river, interesting facts about the history. Then the boat stops and a short walk to breakfast Creek taven where you have lunch. After 2 hrs then back on boat to go back to where you started.

We had a lovely time onboard. The scones were delicious and very generous. The commentary was excellent and informative Being with someone who has a bit of difficulty walking g the length of the walk to lunch was a bit more than anticipated so that stressed her out. The experience and meal was fun and delicious. Spraying my husband with beer on his birthday was quite fun. Despite the extra walking this eas very worthwhile and value for money

A great day out cruising on the Brisbane River. Staff very friendly & helpful. Fantastic value and loved the commentary onboard. Suits all ages & also loved the top deck had cover so plenty of shade on a hot day. Morning tea was delicious. Lunch at the Breakfast Creek Hotel was amazing & plenty of choice on the set menu. Would definitely recommend this cruise!
