Nice cruise, wholesome people - The cruise itself is what you'd expect. What makes it 5 Stars is 1) the Co-Captain has a great sense of humor when giving information and 2) Kuda, the driver that picked me up and brought me back is an icredibly helpful and wholesome guy. Easy 5 of 5

Great way to spend one evening - It was nice atmosphere and great way to spend afternoon in Vic fall city. Even if I was solo traveler, I could mingle with others so interacting with others is highly recommended (spending 2-3 alone with drink service might not be the best)

Fine - All were fine. Pickup and return on-time. Due to almost suspense of tourism at covid few persons only were on boat. Snack was tasty and many kinds of drinks offered. We viewed all pleasant places with animals on riversides of four countries by program.
To be noted.
If day not sunny and hot the sunset no so bright and romantic and less animals wants drink and comes to riversides. So select cruise after sunny hot day.

Most spectacular sunset over the water - Lovely trip - would have given it 5 stars if we had seen more animals. Nice boat, staff & unlimited drinks. Snacks weren't great but that's not why we were there. The sunset was spectacular & well worth every penny.

Beautiful sunset - Was lucky to have good weather that day and hence was able to see a beautiful sunset. Commentary on the cruise was entertaining enough and managed to see some birds as well as some elephants along the river banks. Overall, a nice experience.

I Like It On Top...3rd floor of Cruise Ship - Hotel booked the $85 cruise from Livingston, Zambia. Open bar with all the drinks you can consume within 3 hours. Appetizers were tasty and almost sufficient... I was escorted to the top deck and sat by myself. Lot's of photos opps of rhinos, alligators and the occasional elephant. Unfortunately my phone was low on battery so didn't capture much... I would recommend booking on one of the smaller/cheaper boats with fewer people... Everyone sees the same sights and sounds... no need for the open bar/appetizer incentive...

Just ok, wouldn’t do it again - Didn’t think it was worth it for the money, was over crowded and not that enjoyable. Had to share tables, people got drunk, not very pleasant

Sunset cruise - It was a wonderful cruise. The snacks and drinks adequate and very nice.
The ladies toilet was not working.
The driver that picked us up at the Zim border was extremely helpful and kind. And had some very welcome cold water available after our long walk. What a blessing!
Transport to and from the Avani hotel was a problem especially at night but the Shearwaterdriver helped us find a taxi. It should be included jn your advertisement that you don't do pick ups from the Avani.

Ends before the sunset - As with most things in Victoria Falls it feels rushed. There are lots of boats on the river at the same time even tough you might not realise it at first because the setting is peaceful and quiet. My boat ended the cruise before the sun set. Food is just a tiny starter. Overall it’s overpriced.

Sunset Cruise - The tour operator failed to show up for the hotel pick up, and it was only with the very dogged persistence of the staff at my hotel that they appeared 35 minutes late.
