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.

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 😎

걸어서는 볼 수 없는 풍경
걸어 다니면서는 볼 수 없는 고급주택들의 정면을 볼 수 있어서 좋았습니다. 골코의 화창한 날씨,영화에서나 볼법한 고급주택들 너무너무 예뻤고 이것저것 설명도 해주셔서 재밌었어요 :)
