A must do experience - What a great way to spend time on the Mandurah water ways. Friendly and very helpful and pleasant staff, great food and lots of it , beautiful scenery and informative commentary . We were lucky enough to have a pod of Dolphins swimming with the boat at one stage. I would highly recommend this tour and will definitely be doing it again.

Great cruise - We both enjoyed the lunch cruise. The scenery, the information about the area including the old mill, and, of course, the lunch, were excellent.

Great value and cruise - This must be one of the best value river cruises that I have taken. The cruise itself went for about 4.5 hours. The commentary during the cruise was informative. The cruise left on time. Once we were underway morning tea was served. About half hour later a cheese & meat plater. An hour later lunch which was a serve yourself and included prawns, meats and salads. An abundance of all. The boat had 2 levels. Downstairs had windows while the uper deck was open. Food was accessable from both. A drink (beer, wine etc) was also included in the ticket. There is a car park about a 5 minute walk from the jetty. The staff were helpful and a friendly lot.

Amazing lunch cruise. - We had an amazing time with Mandurah cruises on a perfect sunny day for the Murray River Lunch Cruise. Congratulations to the crew for a memorable experience. Catering was top notch with plenty of choices and excellent quality. After meandering up the Murray and back, we were delighted to see some amazing dolphins on the return journey. Well done everyone, we will definitely be back.

Fabulous Murray River Lunch Cruise - This is the second time we have taken visitors on this cruise, it provides a lovely view of the beautiful waterways around Mandurah and the morning tea and lunch are always fabulous. The crew are hospitable, knowledgeable and friendly and go out of their way to host you on this enjoyable cruise. It is not a dolphin cruise but we have had dolphins swim along side the boat on both occasions.

A terrific day out. - We had a great day, the weather was perfect and the water calm.
The staff were friendly and efficient. Morning tea and lunch aplenty.
On the trip (4hours) we passed the wetlands (hard to believe they were threatened a few years ago with development), enjoyed some history, many many birds, the estuary and of course lots and lots of dolphins.
Overall a really enjoyable day out. The only thing missing for me is a bit of cultural information. I would love to hear an acknowledgment to the traditional owners of the land as we began the trip, and Im sure there are many stories about the significance of the area to Aboriginal people. (For example - how the rainbow serpent created the inlet and river system)
