2hr hop on hop off ferry service Surfers Paradise. Loop cruises city canals from HOTA to SeaWorld. Spectacular city views from the water. Warm welcome aboard clean, modern boat. Pilot offered opportunity sit on his seat & “pilot” the boat with photo taken free. Only service doing morning trips that day. It was dearer than other cruises & there was no complimentary drink or nibbles. As a local having enjoyed several city cruises I noticed the commentary missed interesting info others included. But as morning was only time we free we thankful we could book this wonderful tour. Fab way enjoy Gold Coast City and

Really enjoyable and informative cruise. Captain of the boat was friendly and helpful. We would recommend this trip as a great way to view the canals from the water
Thank you for your 5 star review of Hopo, we're really glad you enjoyed soaking up the views of the Gold Coast with some lovely commentary from the Captain!
Great 2 hours would recommend the weather was lovely and the experience was wonderful looking at all the views was really good great value for money too.
Thank you for your 5 star review, we are delighted you enjoyed your day exploring Gold Coast canals aboard our Hopo Ferry, we hope to see you again soon!
It's an interesting cruise with lots to see, but the advertising was misleading as it didn't state it was a hop on hop off cruise. We'd just scheduled itaround the 2 hours so missed the chance to visit the interesting places where the ferry stops. Also we thought it misleading to advertise the ferry h as a BAR - it's just a fridge with some cans in it. The commentary was interesting but limited and was repeated on the wayback
Thank you Jennifer for your kind review and we value your feedback which we will pass onto management. We do have an all day Hop on Hop off pass as well as a 2 hour loop option if time is short for our guests. We hope to see you for the whole day next time to fully enjoy our Hopo experience :)
