5.00My husband and I are retired and travel the world extensively. We signed up for this tour as part of a cruise ship excursion. It was incredible. The owner operator (Captain Jack) was a “one-man band”. He steered the boat through the harbor and river, all the while sharing engaging stories about Albany, its history, its citizens, mammals, birds and fish and sharing delicious farm-to-table culinary treats. We truly could not have asked for more. The tour surpassed our expectations.
Wonderful cruise

5.00Here’s a polished, excellent review that captures everything you described while keeping it warm, clear, and professional: --- Kalgan Queen Scenic Cruise – Albany ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Happiness Crew recently travelled down to Albany with five clients, including two wheelchair users, and the experience aboard the Kalgan Queen Scenic Cruise was nothing short of exceptional. Accessibility was smooth and well‑supported, and from the moment we stepped on board, the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. The cruise itself was a beautiful blend of calm waters, wildlife, and storytelling, but what truly elevates this experience is the captain. With 18 years at the helm, he is an outstanding operator, deeply knowledgeable, effortlessly engaging, and highly skilled in manoeuvring the vessel through the sheltered waterways. His commentary is a rare mix of humour, history, and genuine passion for Albany. He brings the region to life through stories of its flora, fauna, early settlers, and the people who live along the river today. You don’t just see the landscape; you feel connected to it. His ability to entertain the entire group, including our clients with diverse needs, was remarkable. Everyone felt included, comfortable, and captivated throughout the journey. The cruise offers a magical window into Albany’s natural beauty and heritage, guided by a captain who embodies the spirit of the region. It’s an experience we would recommend to anyone!
