Had a wonderful day with the Mandurah cruises luncheon trip We are locals but had a friend here from Sydney . The whole experience was amazing . The Crew were Friendly Engaging and knowledgeable and really came across as enjoying their job. The lunch was great. We were so fortunate to experience a large pod of Dolphins joining the trip across the Estuary . A stop at Coopers Mill was interesting History and the journey up the Murray while enjoying lunch was very relaxing. Would certainly recommend this as a special day trip Thank you Mandurah Cruises

Top score: What a great day out. Highly recommend the lunch cruise. The boat was not over crowded, allowing you to just relax and view the sights. Staff were very welcoming. Cruising along the canals, the staff explained some of the sights and history. We slowed down to observe the many dolphins we were lucky enough to see. Tea, coffee and biscuits were provided, morning snack of cheese and biscuits and lunch was all superb. I would highly recommend this cruise, you will not be disappointed.

It was comfortable, food lovely, and staff were friendly and helpful. It would have been good to have a small map to follow, of where we were going. Also feel there could have been more information shared along the way, than was given. We found it to be very relaxing, thankyou.

Cameron_M

The dolphins were amazing. They followed the boat for about 30 minutes. The staff were helpful and friendly. We thought the stop at the old mill was not necessary. It was good to go for a wonder but maybe do it somewhere else.

Barry_A
