⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review Best experience ever! The Sunset Canal Cruise at Surfers Paradise was absolutely amazing. 🌅⛴️ The whole team was so good and very welcoming, especially the captain — friendly, professional, and made the cruise even more enjoyable. The floor team was super prompt and helpful, which we really appreciated as we were travelling with two kids. They made everything easy and stress-free for our family. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A perfect way to enjoy the canals and sunset. Highly recommended! 🌟

Lots of fun!

We did the sunset cruise. The timing was perfect, we headed down the Nerang river in the sun, and then came back as the sun was setting. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. A great experience.
