Seeing Jackie Chans holiday home was a Brucie Bonus
The information provided was very interesting but could have been a bit more(?)
The cheese and salami had been out a bit too long but nothing lethal. It was lovely to have something! The mocktails were good and the prices for cocktails and mocktails were absolutely brilliant with a happy hour on the way back.
There needs to be some shade at the pontoon; waiting to board in the blinding sun surrounded by white concrete and sandstone is deadly for melanoma sufferers.
Well worth the money! Smooth cruising and dreaming!
Very witty captain Pete kept us entertained 😆
Great commentary, easy to hear and understand
Lots of interesting facts
Beautiful morning for cruising the canals
Great morning tea
Excellent value
We enjoyed it and others on the cruise appeared to do likewise.
It would have been nice to have come back a different way but that may not have been possible.
The cruise was great family outing.
The captain made was great to talk to and very willing to chat about the sights. The cruise was friendly and very informative.
I’d highly recommend this cruise for anyone visiting Surfers. It was also great value and I liked that it’s a family run business.
A great experience and you can tell it is a family run business. We will be back to enjoy another cruise next time we are on the GC.
Jason and Amy were great hosts.. full of local knowledge. Very friendly and helpful. We had a wheelchair user with us which caused no dramas whatsoever.
The cocktails were delicious and much appreciated after a pretty warm 'winters' day.
Thank you so much! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves
We had pretty low expectations but I was pleasantly surprised and quite impressed.
The cruise lasted quite a while, well and truly enough time to have a good look along the river. Even our kids had fun, it was slow and relaxing but very interesting.
The captain and his offsider had some very informative and interesting commentary.
There were commentary cakes, biscuits, tea and coffee as well.
I really enjoyed this river cruise and we'll definitely be going again, but I think we'll do the sunset cruise next time.
I highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a fun, informative and relaxing cruise.
by the crew perfectly The ongoing commentry was informative and insightful.
This one a x half hour cruise was good value for your dollar
Learnt some great facts about the GC, even having come here for so long, even down to who owned the big houses and boats. We even saw many dolphins that the captain happily followed for us.
Even had free cheese and crackers. Was an amazing experience would recommend to everyone.
They provide general information about the area, houses and some commercial properties.
I found it relaxing and interesting.
They also sell drinks onboard.
The Captain let my daughter drive the boat (it was a general invitation to any kids on the boat). The staff were very friendly.
Thanks for the experience. Keep up the good work.
They do a fantastic job showcasing the beautiful coastal surroundings, giving visitors a closer look at the area’s natural charm.
The service is genuinely top-notch — the crew is friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about making sure every guest leaves with unforgettable memories and a big smile.
Their pricing is fair and accessible, which makes the experience even more appealing for families, tourists, and locals alike.
They provide drinks and snacks too (need to purchase them).
I highly recommend this cruise service to anyone looking for a memorable outing on the water.
Wishing the entire team continued success — keep up the amazing work!
Great time had by all.
