What a great way to see the houses you would never see from the roadways. A great depth of knowledge by Steve and with such enthusiasm. Easy parking at Main Beach Marina makes for a fabulous (and very affordable) adventure. Highly recommend this cruise!!

It was a great way to spend a couple of hours cruising around the canals taking in the scenery and looking at some of the fantastic homes and real estate in the area. Steve was very knowledgeable about the areas history and current happenings and the scones, jam and cream were a nice treat too. We would recommend this cruise.

2 hour canal cruise on the water ways of the Gold coast, with a scone and coffee and only $22:00 for adults, on the cruise you get a guided tour, you get to see some of the outrageous water front houses.

Took the family on this and loved it. Gentle cruise around the canals looking at the real estate and listening to the history of the various islands. Scones, jam and cream were a nice bonus.....

We had a great time on this short cruise trip, which seems to be run by a local and family-business operator. We would definitely like to recommend this trip to our friends and family.

With the option of several other cruises this looked the best value in terms of duration and cost. And we were correct, this has to be just about the best value trip on the Gold Coast.
