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.

Relaxing afternoon on the water
Our group of 9 adults aged 35-80 enjoyed seeing the Gold Coast from a different aspect. The staff were lovely and commentary informative and fun. Great value for money we all highly recommend doing the canal cruise!

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!
