A wonderful day out. - Most enjoyable experience, the staff were knowledgeable, approachable and friendly, we were very lucky with the weather, The morning tea on board was lovely and fresh. The lunch at the Breakfast Creak Hotel was both timely and delightful and the talk about the history was most interesting.

Loved it!! - Loved it!! The only thing that would improve it if everyone got headphones to wear as commentary was a little hard to hear with people not listening chatting around you but A fantastic cruise, friendly staff, will definitely be recommending to my family and friends 👌

Relaxing river cruise with friends. - Really worth doing. The cruise was quiet and relaxing and provided a great history commentary as we meandered along. The scones were superb, I hadn’t had a scone for years, so it was a lovely treat. The trip was organised very well, we stopped off at Breakie Creek Hotel for a substantial lunch and watched the “tapping of the keg” and sampled the contents, really interesting to see. Take your appetite. The meals were great. We had time to stroll around the grounds and take it all in. The return home was just as interesting, with more commentary. Definitely would do this again.

Relaxing and well catered for. - Lovely, relaxing, well catered for with delicious scones with tea and coffee. Interesting commentary about the history of the main landmarks/ places of significance along the river. Also, having lunch at the Breakfast Creek hotel was very nice... Thankyou!

Not That Good - Few people on the boat were actually going to lunch and tables were limited when you arrived. The breakfast was poor and they ran out of the lunch my wife was expecting.
