Beautiful views and wonderful weather. The commentary could have done with more historical information in my opinion.

Nothing special, but it does fill a couple of hours. The staff at the Perth end were not very helpful in regard to booking and times etc

You can have a beverage, coffee or soft drink on board. The commentary is good, the stories of the buildings and structures make the whole journey interesting.

First its more than a 2 minute walk from the cruise port terminal, since the port terminal requires you to exit to the street before you can turn to the swan boat ferry (walk is closer to 10 minutes). Next there is no swan boat ferry terminal. Near building 2, water side, there is a shared banner high on a light poll showing Captain Cook tours. (we missed it on our first pass since we were early and no one was manning the ferry dock) and we were looking for a building. Third the tour states a a cash bar available. Not true it is a cashless bar. All the people paid via there cell phone. The swan boat ferry was on time ran at a nice slow pace 1hr 15 minutes each way. The ferry gave great view of the river and cities. We were on a Sunday afternoon cruise and got the bonus of seeing hundreds of sail class/races as we traveled the river. Overall it was a very nice way to see Fremantle and Perth from the water
