Beautiful Morning on the River
Was a cool experience, kids and I enjoyed the experience. We want to do a night cruise to see the lights. Affordable and friendly would definitely recommend.

Relaxing Cruise on the canals
This cruise was one of the highlights of my time on the Gold Coast - cruising around the canals on a small, well equipped, two storey ferry. Nice morning tea bites and Informative, humorous commentary too! Awesome, loved it 😎

Great for all ages
As a family it was perfect. Emily was superb and very safety conscious. The captain let the kids have a turn at steering. Nice clear commentary. A great outing highly recommend. Very relaxing.
