River cruise
Good value for the money. This is the 2nd time I've taken interstate guests on this boat. Would recommend booking when the owner/male captain is driving as he is much more informative. 10/10 with the owner 7/10 with the female captain
From Afternoon Canal Cruise - Surfers Paradise
Thank you for such a positive review. Our crew do work very hard and we are glad this is shown on our cruise. We will pass on the kind comments to them, thanks again and we hope to see you in the future. Kind regards, Surfers Paradise River Cruises.

Cancelled
We were told as there were only three of us on the 2pm cruise it was cancelled. At first we were told 'due to weather' but then we could take the 10.30am cruise with other people who had booked. All this was the same day. We were not able to get to the earlier trip.
From Afternoon Canal Cruise - Surfers Paradise
Hi Robins4, Thank you for your feedback. We will take your concerns into consideration. Ensuring our cruise is an enjoyable experience for everyone is a top priority for us. If you are travelling to the coast again please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind regards, Surfers Paradise River Cruises.

Must do, great way to spend an hour or so.
I was very surprised by how enjoyable the experience was, I came for the sights but thoroughly enjoyed the genuinely entertaining commentary. As a added bonus, me , and everyone who bought one of drinks on board enjoyed them greatly 👌 I want to book in for the evening cruise whilst I'm here!
