Nice little river cruise, a bit impersonal with a recording rather than a guide. Blankets for the kids was helpful. The online info says there is no morning tea on the 12.30pm cruise, so I paid money for chips from the bar for my hungry kids, only to have food and drinks served 5 minutes later. So they need to fix that info so others aren’t wasting money too! All in all we were happy though, it filled some time and the staff were friendly :)
