Great way to spend an afternoon
Great cruise. Good to hear about the area and pointing out some very expensive houses. Cheese and crackers and cocktail just to top off the cruise.

River cruise
Good value for the money. This is the 2nd time I've taken interstate guests on this boat. Would recommend booking when the owner/male captain is driving as he is much more informative. 10/10 with the owner 7/10 with the female captain
