Relaxing Cruise on the canals
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 😎

Surfers Paradise Morning Cruise.
Excellent Cruise up the River. We done the morning cruise . Great Commentary. The Captain was a hard case made us laugh and staff were nice. My husband was able to have a go at driving the boat. Cakes and coffee were nice too. Highly Recommend it.

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.
