Really good way to see the highlights of Brisbane. The city lights at night are fantastic. The tour was relaxing with the bonus of a complimentary cheese board. Drinks could be purchased from the bar. Staff were very friendly. Definitely would recommend.

I think it’s the best time of the day for this mini cruise along the Brisbane River. Between the colors in the sunset sky and the illuminations of the city, it is a beautiful visual experience. The crew was very friendly and helpful. For 1h30 cruise, a small tray of fruit, cheese, cold cuts and crackers is included in the package. You can buy a soft or alcoholic drink at the bar in the boat. I recommend the Moscato (Victoria 2023), very good! Don’t forget to take a small jacket as you can sit at the front or back of the boat, up or down (near the bar lol) but there was a small breeze of fresh air. Really a great experience to do to discover the shores of Brisbane! ❤️

Really great experience. Getting to see the city from this view by night was magical. There’s staff were so hospitable, friendly and helpful. We all received a charcuterie board during the trip, which was a nice surprise. There’s also a bar onboard board to purchase drinks. The atmosphere onboard was both relaxing and fun.
A really pleasant way to spend a relaxing 90 minutes.

It's always good to see a city at night from the river (where there is one), and this was no exception. The boat is comfortable with the deck set out with tables and chairs. There is a bar on board so you can buy a drink to complement the surprise plate of canapes. If you have booked after reading this, it's no surprise.
A relaxing way to see the city lit up with a glass or two of wine.

What a very pleasant way on a balmy evening to sail down the river and enjoy the fabulously lit up river banks. A lovely way to spend 90 minutes with friends and family. The plate of canopies was a welcome suprise and complemented the wine very well.
Amazing and so worth it ❤️

Fantastic cruise, amazing to see all the lights of Brisbane from a different view. Lovely charcuterie board and all staff were amazing. Highlight was the drone show at the end of the cruise. So good we also booked on the Southbank Combo tour as well.

The Skipper and Crew we’re perfect and the lights could never disappoint. They were amazing. It was a little chilly, but they made sure I was comfortable and provided a granny blanket for me and between that glass of wine and my snacks I had the best solo time you could’ve ever imagined! Thank you, thank you and thank you
