What a lovely, relaxing cruise - We were looking for something to do on our last day in Perth before flying back home and found this. What a great way to spend a few hours - the cruise was so relaxing and we were given great commentary along the way. What a great end to an amazing holiday!

Great boat trip on the Swan River - Great trip with some narration. We booked round trip Perth to Freemantle without the lunch option and it was very pleasant. Great views and nice to be in an air conditioned boat out on the Swan River. The kiosk did not mention the no lunch option but we found it on-line. You can even take your own lunch. Most seats are at tables. Highly recommend and economical.

Fabulous day out - I persuaded some friends to become tourists in their own city for a change and we are all so glad that we did. We went on the Fremantle Explorer package and had such a great day. The cruise was wonderful, such a lovely boat with very interesting commentary. Never knew there was so much to know about our beautiful river. We got off in Fremantle, had lunch and a walk around and then returned to Perth on the boat. Dolphin sightings on the boat on the way home just topped things off perfectly. A great day had by all!

Beautiful city and Harbour views - Beautiful views and wonderful weather. The commentary could have done with more historical information in my opinion.

Return ferry ride from Perth Harbour to Fremantle with blurry windows that prevent photography - This is essentially a ferry ride from Perth Harbour to Fremantle and back. Took plenty of photos out the windows but they're all blurred by the glass. There was some commentary during the trip, but hardly justifies taking a tour boat compared to a normal ferry.

Okay but nothing special - Pretty crowded boat on the outward journey. Lovely staff, very helpful. Biggest disappointment was that the commentary was almost impossible to understand so missed a lot.

Boring - It was boring, staff were not so friendly, cheese plate was stale. Being on the river was nice, that's why I give 2 stars..
