River Cruise
Absolutely loved it and great value for money, so much so that we booked a second trip at the end of our holiday to do it all over again. We highly recommend the snow cones and the extra touch of snacks on the afternoon cruise was very nice. Very cool that my son got to drive the boat and great commentary by the Captain. Thank you, we will be back next time we're in Australia!

It's always a treat seeing our little captains drive the boat, and we look forward to welcoming you onboard again soon! Kind Regards, Surfers Paradise River Cruises.
