Definitely A Must Do in the GC

This cruise was just absolutely lovely. We did the afternoon session and it was perfect for us. The kids (12,6,4) all loved it!! The captain and crew were amazing. My kids all got a turn at steering the boat. A nice informative cruise around a stunning area of Surfers Paradise. I'd go on this cruise again in a heartbeat!!
