Fun totally worth it ride - I enjoyed the views so much and curiously met another solo traveler on the boat. Loved the snacks and the jokes made by the guide :)

Great walk - Great tour to know Brisbane by the river. The guide counting the sights, a different view from the inside very well built

Great local shorter excursion on Brisbane River - Awesome views of the city and very good narrative. Boat is comfortable with refreshments available and toilets. 90 mins was the perfect duration.

I am sailing - I really enjoyed the river cruise. The staff were welcoming and well informed. Safety was a top priority. The commentary was interesting and not too intrusive. Highly recommended and would certainly do the sunset cruise when I’m next in Brisbane.

Pleasant & enjoyable cruisr - Really enjoyable time - the staff were friendly & the knowledge of the captain was great. The cruise was a good way to see parts of Brisbane not normally seen. This cruise is well worth taking

Lovely Trip on the Scenic Brisbane River - This tour was a lovely, relaxed trip on the scenic Brisbane River. The tour guide was very informative, and the journey is leisurely with ample time for photos. A highlight is travelling past all the new developments on the river as well as the river side developments over the last 20 years which are harder to appreciate from a land based tour.

Great experience - We very last minute decided to do a River Cruise with the family which was during Riverfire (from Sydney we didnt realise) The office was very accommodating and helpful, we also tacked on a lunch at The Plough Inn and it was all really well organised, got the vouchers, had a lovely lunch. The Cruise was excellent and information was enough to learn a bit but not so much that we had to listen the whole time. All the family are from Brisbane and they even learnt some things. Would highly recommend.

Worth taking in the beautiful sights - Great 90 minute cruise along the river taking in the sites. Great commentary, not too much, you could still relax and take in the sites & admire the beautiful homes. Refreshments & food available on board too. Nice friendly staff.
