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.

Worth doing
A relaxing cruise, taking in the sights of the gold coast. The commentary was excellent and the staff were very knowledgeable. Bonus, it's a family run business, so was very happy when I heard this at the end, knowing my ticket fare stayed within the state to a small business rather than a large overseas business

Not a bad river cruise - pleasantly surprised
Went for this in Jan 2026 to show friends how gold coast looks like. Actually not a bad experience at all. Had hot chocolate for non coffee or tea drinkers. There were plenty of lamingtons, shortbread cookies, fruit cakes for snacks. Additional snacks soft drinks and alcohol could be purchased on board. The 2nd floor not recommended for very tall people as you may hit your head when going under the bridges, but the captain will let you know when we go under the bridge. Overall happy with experience.

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 :)
