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.

It’s great to know you enjoyed the commentary and relaxing atmosphere. We hope to see you all aboard again soon! Kind Regards, Surfers Paradise River Cruises.

Worth doing
Enjoyed this gentle cruise around a portion of the canals. Great views of the GC skyline from a different perspective. The commentary was just right, not the non stop chatter sometimes dished out. Cups of tea, coffee, light snacks and cocktails available too. Not sure what more you could ask for. Great value for the money. Thanks.

Hi Jane, thank you so much for the 5-star review! We are so glad that you enjoyed the Gold Coast skyline views, our commentary and the onboard refreshments. It was a pleasure having you on board, and we hope to welcome you back again soon. Kind regards, Surfers Paradise River Cruises.

Beautiful Morning on the River
Was a cool experience, kids and I enjoyed the experience. We want to do a night cruise to see the lights. Affordable and friendly would definitely recommend.

Hi Jouleen, thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review and the gorgeous photo! We are so happy to hear that you and the kids had a great experience out on the water with us. We would absolutely love to welcome you all back for the City lights cruise. Seeing Surfers Paradise lit up at night is truly spectacular. Thank you for the recommendation and hope to see you back on board for an evening trip soon. Kind regards, Surfers Paradise River Cruises.
