Great way to learn some history of Brisbane, enjoy the river, have a good meal and also get some exercise.. - This was a Christmas gift from our son. We waited until April to use it so we could get good weather and it was perfect on the day. The staff were friendly, efficient and courteous. The boat was punctual. We had a really good day.

Wonderful River cruise and Kunch - What a pleasure to deal with this company, from the word go, communication was amazing. With clear directions on how to find the cultural centre pontoon, which is where the river cruise commences. The staff were friendly polite and helpful. The tour itself was relaxed with an informative pre recorded talk along the way. Morning tea was wonderful scones with ham and cream… Lunch was delicious, the rump steak was exceptional. Tour commenced and finished on time, which was a bonus as we were on a day trip from the Brisbane cruise terminal. Definitely recommend this cruise and would love to do the sunset cruise when we visit Brisbane again.
