Brisbane Relaxing River Cruise - Arrive early for the riverboat cruise as they leave promptly on time. The upper deck provides a nice view and a breeze. The lower deck has the bar and is more like a party atmosphere. Some of the guests exited the vessel for a lunch at a lovely historical hotel restaurant. The other guests remained on board the vessel. I do not know where they went.

A great way to experience Brisbane - Really good and relaxing tour down the river to the Breakfast Creek hotel. Excellent commentary provided on the boat and a morning tea included. Lunch was provided at the hotel with reasonable choices and food was great. Got to see the wooden keg being spiked and a free taste. Lovely hotel and some great history there. Back on the boat for the cruise back up the river, more commentary providing lots of historical and more modern information. Highly recommend this cruise. Staff on board were great and friendly too.

Long time for lunch - There was no notification that the lunch would take place so far away. We had our 94 year old father with us and a 10 minute walk for others was a 30 minute walk for us. Lunch took over an hour from when we arrived to get food. We ended up having it put in a takeout box since we had to get started back if we were going to get back to the boat on time.
