Great ferry ride - Great way to spend a couple of hours, the captain was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Grab the seats on the front if you can,as the breeze was wonderful on a humid day. We didn’t hop off at any location but if you plan ahead it could be worthwhile. There’s parking at shopping centre on Cavil across from the start point for the ferry. Cold drinks are available for purchase on board but there are no toilets on the ferry.

Hop on the Hopo - A relaxing way to see some of the sights and hear some local history. Also offers an opportunity to see the toys of the rich and famous. Alan (the Skipper) is a fun friendly guide.

Sunday cruise - A very relaxing way to spend a Sunday morning. If I was to go again I would choose the hop on hop off ticket. It is the same boat but you are able to get off and explore different areas. Also, tickets are available at the kiosk and also (I think)on board. (Card only) as well as online.

It was nice to give it a try, but WON'T book it again - There should be more signs on where to go!! A SIGN should be put where the boat pick up the people who are ready to get on it. The ride should have MORE entertainment & FUN!!!! The experience was nice, but it got to boring & there was A LOT of stopping on the way going & coming!!!!

Almost fell asleep - I’m currently on the 2 hour sight seeing cruise and I’m desperate to get off. Still one hour 😞 There is no commentary as advertised , just a voice saying on the left is a green bridge, there is SeaWorld , The best part is speeding up to go back. I’m thirsty, numb backside due to thin back aluminium seats . Not for not.anyone who is expecting a cruise with commentary. False advertisement. It’s a transport mode. That’s all.

Hopo sightseeing ferry Gold Coast - Started off with unhelpful kiosk attendant 🤬 For the first 5 minutes pilot had interesting commentary. Then never opened his mouth for 1 hour 55 minutes. Appeared as if he was unhappy with his job. Very very dissatisfied suggest you pay a bit more for a proper tour.
