The 2 gentleman that run today cruise were amazing 👏 the whole 2 hour cruise was great great. 😁 highly recommended doing this cruise when your in Port Macquarie..
Thank you so much Port Adventure Cruises for helping myself & my family to have an amazing Christmas Day 🎄🤶
The team were fantastic food was great and the cruise itself was lovely.
We got to see dolphins up close and a gorgeous sunset.
Highly recommend 👌
The weather got rough and we had to do a lap around again. It was a bonus because we got twice the amount of time and food, drinks, ice cream, chocolates, lollies etc etc.
There’s 2 young ladies who were bloody legendary in making sure everyone was happy.
The captain looks like a weathered old sailor who is a man of few words but is full of knowledge.
Loved every minute onboard the Rhythmboat! The whole team were so warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. Elsa and Laz are absolute gems — local legends who make the day feel special from start to finish.
The staff were friendly and full of fantastic local knowledge, and the food and drinks were honestly delicious. It’s the perfect experience in any weather, and seeing all the dolphins up close was pure magic.
Can’t wait to come back and do it all again with this brilliant crew!
Although the sunset wasn't playing the game, this sunset cruise is still a value for money must do! Plenty of nibbles from the time you step aboard until you disembark. Good friendly commentary and great hosts. Highly recommended.
The cruise took us up the Hastings River to some housing waterways. It was quite interesting all the way with some nature (unfortunately no dolphins) and beautiful houses to look at.
They provided a good morning tea then a light lunch (wraps followed by ice cream etc for dessert) and there was a bar where you could purchase drinks etc.
The cruise director (Tom Cruise that might give you some idea of the calibre of the jokes) was entertaining and the music was pretty good.
A bit more information about the history of the area would have been appreciated but all up it was an interesting and enjoyable couple of hours. Not bad value at all.
We had hoped to see Dolphins, but unfortunately that did not happen, but we accepted that as nature.
We took our puppy. The captain greeted our pup. Crew dedicated a song -- Who Let the Dogs Out -- what fun !
It was a nice end to our holiday.
OMG what a fab night.
A 4 hr cruise with an AMAZING sunset, dolphins and a great meal. The music trivia was brilliant and then the music was super fun and super dancy.
Thank you Elsa, David and crew [and Port EaTs] for looking after us and making the booking so easy (Elsa is awesome).
Very impressed with the light snack which will muffins, wraps followed with ice cream and lollies for dessert, what a treat . Definitely recommend
Very well priced, food was great as was the scenery. I highly recommend and would definitely go back again next time we visit Port Macquarie. Thank you for a great evening!

We even saw Dolphins on the way back. Plenty of viewing areas and space to move around. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a couple of hours to fill.
The crew were friendly, welcoming and well organised.
A more orderly way of inviting guests to come to the smorgasboard would be helpful instead of them pushing in and trying to help themselves while the crew were trying to serve people individually and hygienically.
However, it was so disappointing to see disposable plates and serviettes being blown into the river from the outside areas of the boat. Maybe eating should only be allowed from inside the boat to prevent rubbish littering the river. Something for the operators to consider?
Thank you for a relaxing river cruise.
We left too early to see the sun fully going down though, I expected to see the sunset on the river more, it was only at the end and still very light when getting of the boat.
Food is okay, staff very good.
Had a nice time. Good discount with my hostel as well, wouldn’t have paid the full price probably. For this price ($25) a great experience and worth it!
At the end it felt like a party boat and some man in a dolphin suit for the entertainment of the children.
To say all the guests enjoyed themselves would be an understatement.
David was brilliant and him and his crew made the day run smoothly without any problems.
Nothing was too much trouble for these guys.
I would highly recommend anyone try out a party with David and the team, or just a cruise for the sake or it.
Thanks again guys
Much appreciated.
