I took my family on the cruise after an action pack holiday. We found this a nice way to sit back, relax and take in some very cool sights of the Goldcoast. The crew were amazing and the captain even let my son take the wheel for 5 minutes which made his day.

Have been on this tour many times when I'm visiting the Gold Coast because it's not only excellent value for money, it gives you a nice overview of the background of the area and you get to enjoy the sunshine and sights whilst relaxing with a yummy drink, in comfort. Highly recommend and will always be back 🙂

Great sightseeing
It was a very enjoyable cruise as we weren’t impacted by the high tide as we have been with other tours. As a result we got to see areas we haven’t seen before which was great.
