Boat likes to leave exactly on time so you must not be late at all. Staff friendly and helpful. Scones were tasty. Commentary was interesting. The pub lunch was big and very filling. The pub was modern and friendly not like the ones in outback Queensland. The wheel is better at twilight as hot during day.
Hi Scott, we are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your day out on the South Bank Combo. Thanks so much for your wonderful review. take care
The history information both sides of the river was interesting. Plenty of complimentary tea, coffee and scones with cream and jam. Lunch at Plough Inn, nice selection, plenty on the plate and cold drinks refreshing.
Hi Garry, we are so pleased you enjoyed your 'South Bank Combo Pass'. What a great day out, cruising, lunch and a gondola ride to get a birds eye view of the city. We appreciate you taking the time to review us, thank you. take care
We booked a river cruise as a way to see Brisbane from the river. The cruise also included a great lunch and a ride on the Brisbane Wheel. We enjoyed all three and would highly recommend this cruise for anyone visiting Brisbane!
Hi Michael, everyone loves the Southbank Combo - River cruise, The Plough Inn and the Brisbane Wheel. We are so pleased you did too and thanks so much for your high recommendation. all the best to you
The place to start your adventure is easy to find. The team on the boat are friendly and helpful. While you go down on the Brisbane River, you are hearing interesting things about the river. When returning to the starting point, you head to the plough inn where you have lunch. After that you have a relaxing time looking at the sites of Brisbane on the channel 7 wheel at southbank
Hi Victorio, It was a pleasure having you onboard with us and we are so pleased you enjoyed your day out doing the South Bank Combo. We feel it is the perfect day out, combining 3 adventures in one. all the very best
Started with an informative cruise down the river. Many points of interest were pointed out. Refreshments were served but we didn’t want to miss anything to get up and take any. We sat up on top in a covered open air area. I believe an air conditioned space was in h th e first level. After 1.5 hours down the river and back, we were given vouchers to ride the Wheel of Brisbane which was a short walk from the pier. I think we got four revolutions and had great views! Then another short walk to The Plough Inn for which we also had vouchers. We had pizza, fish and chips, and a burger, all which were delicious. Highly recommend this excursion. It was a very good deal for the money.
Hi Stacie, we are so pleased you enjoyed your day out on the Southbank combo. Cruising, commentary & morning tea (don't miss out on this, ask the crew, they are happy to help) on our vessel, to a private gondola ride on The Brisbane Wheel and lunch & drink at The Plough Inn - perfect. Just a note for our readers - we do not have AC downstairs, just natures aircon :>) thank you for cruising with us, and take care
Great way to relax with friends and explore the Brisbane river/ Southbank area both via water and aerial views 😊. Relaxing river cruise followed by a meal at the Ploughmans inn and topped off with stunning aerial views via the Brisbane eye … if you’re looking for a different way to see Brisbane, thus us definitely one way to go!!
Hi Deborah, Thank you for joining our South Bank Combo Pass and for sharing such a lovely review. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the mix of river views, a relaxed meal, and the Brisbane Eye, it really is a fun way to experience the city from different angles. We’re so glad the day came together beautifully for you and your friends. Feedback like yours reminds us why we love offering this combo experience. Warm regards, Lindsay & the Team
The cruise was good, we enjoyed the ride on the Wheel, but then when we arrived at the Plough Inn we were told quite abruptly that we should have been there at 12.30 and they had given our table away. This was about 1.00 pm when we arrived. At no time were we told we needed to go straight to the Plough Inn for a set time, in fact at boarding I queried the guy handing out the tickets how it worked, and were told we could go th the Wheel and Plough Inn whenever we wanted, as long as it was on the same day as the cruise. Eventually a table was found for us at Plough Inn but we were left with no instructions how to order, and when I went to the counter to order, the menu we were shown on the cruise wasn't available, and the order taker just called a few dishes out to me, as she didn't have a menu there. I know there were more choices than what she gave me, but just ordered off the limited few choices she offered. The chicken Caesar Salad was nice, but I don't think it was the one on our menu we were shown on the boat. I think if we had been told we had a reservation for 12.30 and had the reserved table we would probably have been given a menu and better service so it probably isn't the fault of the Plough Inn. Please inform your guests properly if they have a set time for dining as part of the Combo pass! We would happily have gone straight there if we had known.
Hi Brent, thank you for cruising with us. I am sorry that your lunch booking didn't go as planned. The crew are well versed on the proceedings of the day, and while you can use The Wheel ticket anytime that day, they would never have told you that you can lunch at any time. On boarding, the crew gave you an envelope with the menu, your lunch and wheel tickets and information about the proceedings for the day. It specifically says on the instructions that "your lunch booking has been made for 12.30pm." The Plough Inn has recently been sold to new owners, so that may have explained why the waitress didn't know the menu, so I apologise for that, but do not understand why you didn't still have the menu and instructions with you to show her. With the in depth instructions you are given, I am not sure we could do anything more. take care
This was more than I expected. A great way to see the layout of the city and learn some history of the area and river. The lunch was good value for money and the Brisbane wheel was something I wouldn't have tried without the deal.
Hi Linda, thank you! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the Combo Pass. We pride ourselves on a holistic approach to the guest experience, with value for money always in mind. From the informative cruise to lunch and the Brisbane Wheel, we love that you got to explore the city in a way you might not have otherwise. Thanks again for cruising with us, we’re glad we could be part of your Brisbane adventure.
Great value for money. Tour guide was very knowledgeable, great views of Brisbane on the wheel and smashing lunch at The Plough Inn. Highly recommend.
thanks so much for taking the time to review us. so glad you enjoyed your day out doing the South Bank Combo Pass.
Great way to spend half a day. All attractions were nearby, a good lunch, and a relaxing way to see the city from the river.
Hi Andrew, thank you for joining us on the Southbank Combo. I can't think of a much better way to spend a half day either than cruising, indulging in a devonshire tea, lunch at the Plough Inn and a ride on The Wheel. We would love to see you again someday, possibly trying one of our other great options. take care
