1.5 hours of morning pleasure learning the history of Brisbane.
This is a good priced, enjoyable cruise. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. It was a good length and the morning tea was spot on. The captain pointed out places of interest along the journey and this helped better understand the history of Brisbane. It was great to see places in person what you have seen on tv. It was mind-blowing to see the level of the 2011 flood.
We had a very enjoyable afternoon cruise
We had a very enjoyable afternoon cruise. The crew were pleasant and the commentary was good. There is a basic menu available on board if you are peckish which we also enjoyed. This is a good value short cruise that we would recommend if you have a couple of hours spare.
What you can expect
One of the best ways to explore Brisbane is with a morning sightseeing cruise along the Brisbane River. Sit back and relax as you cruise along the waterways of Brisbane taking in the beautiful sights of its surrounding suburbs while also enjoying informative and entertaining commentary from the Captain.

Nice river cruise, easy to find dock and good length.
The cruise was very nice, staff were friendly, the commentary on board was good content. The length of the cruise was good as well, had a nice long time on board. The boarding point was easy enough to find and boarding process was quick and easy. All in all a good experience.
