Reviews
Compared to other paid tours in Australia, which often cost one to two thousand dollars, this one offers excellent value for money. We chose the 4 PM departure, and it was fantastic to see both the sunset and the night view. The scenery along the riverbanks, with houses built on boats, was beautiful!
The captain will explain the buildings and scenery along the coast. With the two-hour sightseeing boat ticket, you can choose one stop to disembark and explore. Afterward, you can board another scheduled boat. Once you re-board, your ticket will be collected, meaning you cannot re-board again if you disembark a second time. The website didn't make this clear. Fortunately, the first stop, MOTA, was exactly where I wanted to go, so it didn't affect me. Later, I chose Southport as my disembarkation point, which was very convenient for transferring to a bus. The scenery was beautiful and very relaxing; my family was very satisfied.
Nice experience sightseeing along the river! You can enjoy drinking in the ship as well while enjoying the beautiful view.
nice view nice service. amazing view by the sunset sighting.. definitely worth to go.. price is reasonable
nice hop on hop off tour to see around gold coast, thanks for the interactive guide and information by the captain Skibidi.
Although I used it for 2 hours, it's actually a round-trip course (1 hour). It stops at 4 locations where other cruise passengers board and disembark. If you don't disembark, the course returns to the original starting point and takes exactly 2 hours. It's a relaxing cruise.
Since we were the only ones who booked that day, it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves, and we enjoyed it leisurely as a couple. I even wondered why more people weren't taking advantage of such a great experience 😂. We comfortably sat and enjoyed two Cokes while admiring the Gold Coast scenery for about two hours. As time passed, the sun began to set, and we got to witness a beautiful sunset, which created a wonderful atmosphere. The view from the boat during sunset was especially breathtaking. The staff member was also incredibly kind and ensured our safety throughout the journey, allowing us to relax and enjoy ourselves. The charm of this ferry seems to be that you don't have to do anything complicated; you can just sit back, feel the breeze, admire the scenery, drink a Coke, and enjoy the sunset. If you're looking to spend a relaxing two hours on the Gold Coast, I highly recommend it. For us, it was an experience that exceeded our expectations!
location: parking is bit hard to find experience: normal ferry ride safety: captain is smooth in terms of driving
My husband and I enjoyed our sightseeing cruise. It's worth the price.
fantastic ferry ride, 2 hours well spent. Gave a great waterfront view with commentary on the famous houses, landmarks etc.
