Well worth doing - Myself and my parents went on the 1.5 hour morning river cruise. The crew were very knowledgeable. Morning tea was supplied and was very nice. There was plenty of space on the boat to be able to move around freely. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip

Morning Tea Cruise. - Nice shady waiting area nearby on what was a hot day. Boarding and departure was on time. Complimentary morning tea with cake and biscuits (self-serve) availabe for entire cruise. Friendly crew with informative commentary by captain. Cocktails reduced to $10 for "Happy Hour" part way through the trip. Too hard to resist and went down a treat (not necessarily offered on all trips).

Wonderful river cruise experience - Great, friendly crew. Very relaxing and informative cruise with excellent views! The captain and staff took the time to answer any questions, there were refreshing drinks at affordable price on a hot day and free cheese and crackers. I loved the experience would definitely go back. Highly recommended!

Was an amazing... - Was an amazing experience, great view, great commentary, decent priced drinks. Only down side is that there was very little food, only cheese and crackers, some additional snacks would've been nice such as deli meat, chopped up veggies, even cold sandwiches that can be sold or something, but other than that an absolutely fantastic experience and I even got to drive the boat a bit so I definitely would recommend to others

Was relaxing and very affordable! - Commentary was great, not too in your ear and was quite humorous. Drinks were cheap with a moderately wide variety to choose from. The operators were very welcoming and even let us have a go steering the boat 🤯Amazing service in surfers paradise, wonderful family owned business for great prices and million dollar views 🥰 will definitely recommend to friends and family!
