two hour hypo surfers Paradise cruise - Ben was I wonderful tour guide and plenty of information given to do I set a lot of us didn’t know even though we’ve been on the coast for 20 to 30 years was a very enjoyable day Ben was a great Tourguide. Highly recommend anyone that wants to go on the tour well worth it with a local pass that makes it even cheaper. The kiosk in surfers Paradise can tell you all about that worth investigating. Thank you for your time.

Interesting - It's an interesting cruise with lots to see, but the advertising was misleading as it didn't state it was a hop on hop off cruise. We'd just scheduled itaround the 2 hours so missed the chance to visit the interesting places where the ferry stops. Also we thought it misleading to advertise the ferry h as a BAR - it's just a fridge with some cans in it. The commentary was interesting but limited and was repeated on the wayback
