5.00A great way to see Perth and the iconic Swan river is to jump on board with Captain Cook cruises, either for a lunch or hop off at Fremantle and return with a later boat. I give this company a 10/10 for customer service, which came from smiling staff, friendly staff and I was assisted into the boat very quickly with a ramp as I am in a wheel chair. The commentary about the region was fantastic and very informative. Well done CCC’s 🛥️⛴️🛳️

4.00Lovely cruise although food and drink limited and expensive if not wanting the buffets just watch if booking online as the website charged us in USD, which cost me more than the advertised price. This was not the fault of the cruise company.
