two hour hypo surfers Paradise cruise - Ben was I wonderful tour guide and plenty of information given to do I set a lot of us didn’t know even though we’ve been on the coast for 20 to 30 years was a very enjoyable day Ben was a great Tourguide. Highly recommend anyone that wants to go on the tour well worth it with a local pass that makes it even cheaper. The kiosk in surfers Paradise can tell you all about that worth investigating. Thank you for your time.

Great ferry ride - Great way to spend a couple of hours, the captain was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Grab the seats on the front if you can,as the breeze was wonderful on a humid day. We didn’t hop off at any location but if you plan ahead it could be worthwhile. There’s parking at shopping centre on Cavil across from the start point for the ferry. Cold drinks are available for purchase on board but there are no toilets on the ferry.

Hop on the Hopo - A relaxing way to see some of the sights and hear some local history. Also offers an opportunity to see the toys of the rich and famous. Alan (the Skipper) is a fun friendly guide.

Interesting - 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

It was nice to give it a try, but WON'T book it again - There should be more signs on where to go!! A SIGN should be put where the boat pick up the people who are ready to get on it. The ride should have MORE entertainment & FUN!!!! The experience was nice, but it got to boring & there was A LOT of stopping on the way going & coming!!!!
