5.00The snacks were lovely and you can help yourself. The captain and crew were very knowledgeable and professional. Sang happy birthday for our birthdays and offered people to sit in the driver seat. Bar had a range of drinks for reasonable cost. Timing was perfect at 4pm as we got to see the sunset while on the cruise.
Fun cruise in Surfer’s Paradise

4.00Bring a camera and a jersey although it wasn't that cold. It is July! The nibbles provided were tasty, the drinks were chilled ( I had a lovely minty mojito) the staff were smiling and attentive when travelling under the bridges. A fantastic view of the waterside homes ( I personally would not enjoy 40 sets of eyes gorking whilst I'm cooking tea). Overall a beautiful sunset experience. Thank you!
Great experience !
