Hi Veronika, thank you so much for your lovely review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your cruise and your kids were able to experience the captains seat. Glad you were able to see our native dolphins during your cruise. We hope to see you all again in the future. Kind regards, Surfers Paradise River Cruises.

Entspannt und lustige Schiffsfahrt - lohnenswert

Meine Freundin und ich, beide Anfang 20 haben den 17$ deal gekauft und fanden dass es auf jeden Fall das Geld Wert war für diese gemütlich, entspannte Schiffsfahrt mit ein paar Keksen und Kaffee aus dem Automaten! Der Kapitän erzählt super lustige Geschichten zu allem was man auf dem Weg sieht und generell war es super interessant sich die Luxusvillen mit Pool von Nahem anzuschauen!!!

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.

Excellent cruise - well worth it

Great cruise with lovely staff who took great photos for us. Wasn't lucky enough to see dolphins but still an enjoyable 1.5hrs on the water. Complimentary biscuits/cake and tea/coffee was a nice touch. Have previously done the Hopo one and preferred this one as it is a proper cruise rather than ferry service.
