Perth to Fremantle and back on the magnificent Swan River. - A lovely way to spend an afternoon. Leaving the pier in Perth CBD for a leisurely cruise to Fremantle and return, the boat is modern and comfortable. Enclosed seating is available inside the cabin or there are open areas near the stern. Drinks and nibbles are available served by the friendly and efficient crew. It's a relaxing way to see the magnificent Swan River and the mansions and marinas of the wealthy which adorn the shoreline and cliffs. The views are complimented by an informative and sometimes cheeky narrative (this is Australia after all) as we pass points of interest. Travel time was approximately 1.5 hours each way. Earlier cruises allow for disembarking in Fremantle and return on a later service but the later service docks and returns immediately. Other cruises are available which specifically cater for lunch on the way. After the Optus Stadium Vertigo Experience in the morning this was a perfect afternoon, topped off with a fantastic meal at the Belgian Beer Cafe.

A short cruise to enjoy the sights - With only a short stay in Perth this was the perfect way to see some of the sights. The cruise wasn’t too long and provided commentary on the area and surrounds. A good selection of drinks and snacks to purchase on board.

A must do. - The cruise down to Fremantle return was enjoyable with commentary. The weather was beautiful making it easy to enjoy the scenery and admire the river and surrounds. Multiple decks with both inside and outside options for seating. The staff were friendly and helpful with any issues. On board toilet facilities very clean.

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.
