The excursion in the gorge at sunset is very beautiful, the crew is truly dedicated, and the food is really great. The steak was the best I have ever eaten in Australia. Even older Australians said that.

Unfortunately due to the recent cyclone we were unable to do both gorges, so the tour was reduced by 30mins and we saw one gorge only. Scenery is spectacular particularly at sunset when the rock comes alive with colour. This remains a highlight of our trip! Guide was good but as was not wearing a microphone we were not able to hear all the commentary which is a shame. Food: bubbles on arrival, share plate of entrees all lovely. Main course was a choice of steak or barramundi. Unfortunately the barramundi did not come with a sauce and was a bit boring. Finished with pavlovas. Arrived back at the dock when it was very dark. As there isn’t any lights, finding our way back to the first carpark was interesting! Older couple walking back with us were not happy. Would have been good to have been told to park in the second carpark perhaps. Overall a memorable experience and one we highly recommend.

A fantastic tour, the staff were all very very friendly and helpful. The food was five star and the wines (although limited) were very good. Marli, a young local girl, was our boat captain and tour guide with all the information. She was happy to answer all of our questions. We now have some great photos of the picturesque gorge and more great memories.

The dinner was divine - surrounded by beautiful scenery. Given recent floods, we only did one gorge, but even so, it was perfect.

Was very disappointed that they changed the time for a later start and we only had about half an hour of day light to see the gorge. I understand that there has been floods and could only go so far. If we had left at 4:30 pm there would have been plenty of light to see the beauty of the gorge. To be parked for over an hour to eat isn't what we expected of the cruise. This was to be a one in life time experience. The food was good and staff were great

This tour is not currently running. Only one gorge is open. This tour is supposed to run for 3 & 1/2 hours. It will be reduced to 2 & 1/2, with a small refund of $40. The cruise actually only went for 2 hours. The food was amazing, and there is lots of potential that this could be great. If you are thinking of doing this, make sure it is operating.

We were so disappointed in this tour. We booked for the 3.5 hour sunset dinner cruise covering 2 Gorges. Was advised a few days after payment of $269 per person, that the cruise will be in 1 Gorge only due to previous flooding, and the cruise would be reduced to 2.5 hours with a refund provided for the shorter cruise. Without knowing what the refund amount would be, but considering a 2 hour cruise is $139, figured a refund of around $70 per person would be reasonable. The refund processed was only $40 per person. We started cruising around 5:15pm, after an initial briefing. We really didn’t do much cruising, instead we just remained in the one location for the majority of the time. There were around 19 people on the boat. There is only one drink included in the ticket cost, any other drinks you need to pay for. The sipping sparkling wine whilst cruising is only if you drink exceptionally slow or you purchase your own. The food itself was the only redeeming factor of this activity. Troy the chef cooked up some fabulous food, which we wouldn’t normally try ourselves. At the end of the cruise, he came around and had a chat to everyone on the cruise. This review in no way reflects upon the professionalism of the chef or the quality of the meal. We returned to the jetty at 7:30pm, so our 3:5 hour cruise, that was reduced to a 2:5 hour cruise was actually only a 2 hour cruise if that. Our intimate and luxury cruise, with a maximum of 10 people, was really 19 people. Sipping sparkling wine whilst enjoying dinner came at our own expense as the one free glass of sparkling wine provided was when we first boarded. I couldn’t recommend this cruise as I do not feel it was value for money at all, nor did it deliver what it claimed it would. I also don’t get that they are still advertising this cruise for the 2 Gorges when it is not available.
