Spent a great afternoon on the Brisbane River cruise Great commentary on the boat (right balance of commentary Crew were very friendly and helpful Also supplied afternoon tea as well. Great day
Found out lots of information about Brisbane, and its history. The boat is a lovely old boat, morning tea that was provided was good as well!
The cruise was very relaxing and informative. Staff were friendly, with a good sense of humour. Afternoon tea was a lovely addition to the trip.
Thank you so much for joining us on the Midday Sightseeing Cruise and for sharing your lovely feedback. We’re delighted to hear you found the experience relaxing and informative, and that our crew’s friendliness and humor added to your day. It’s also great to know you enjoyed the afternoon tea, it’s a favourite for many of our guests. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and hope to welcome you back on board again soon.
Nice way to learn about the city. The other passengers were playing loud videos on their phones though so I had to strain to hear the commentary. I initially booked on the lunch package but it didn't go through for some reason so I missed out and went on the shorter trip.
Thank you for joining us on the river and for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed seeing the city, and we’re sorry the loud phone videos made it harder to hear the commentary. Our 12:30pm cruises have been running at around half capacity lately, so there were definitely quieter areas available on all levels. Our crew are always happy to help with situations like this, so please feel free to let us know onboard. Regarding the booking: the 12:30pm departure is our 90‑minute Afternoon Tea Cruise, which doesn’t include a lunch option. Lunch is only included on the separate 3.5‑hour Cruise to Lunch Package at the Breakfast Creek Hotel, departing at 10:30am. If you’re on the 12:30pm cruise and feel you missed out on a meal during the booking process, the Plough Inn lunch add‑on can be added at any time—including while onboard by asking the crew. It’s $35 and includes a meal and a drink. We understand it’s disappointing when the option you hoped for doesn’t go through, and we’re always here to help if anything looks unclear during booking. We’d love to welcome you back for the full lunch experience next time.
It was a nice tour. The refreshments were tasty. There was plenty of space and it was easy to here the commentary
Hi Yoland, thank you for your wonderful review. We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your afternoon cruise. all the very best
This cruise was informative. The snacks were tasty. You can purchase drinks on the boat. The narration is good, but they repeat the same song over and over. It gets old.

An excellent cruise with friendly crew, having a commentary of interesting facts made it all the more enjoyable.
Hi Kathy, thanks so much for your lovely review. We love the 5 stars. take care
We had a very enjoyable afternoon navigating the river and learning about Brisbane’s rich history. You can use the water transport, but you miss out on the great commentary. With just a short stay it helped us to focus our time after disembarking.
