Surfers Paradise Sightseeing River Cruises
Was relaxing and very affordable!
Commentary was great, not too in your ear and was quite humorous. Drinks were cheap with a moderately wide variety to choose from. The operators were very welcoming and even let us have a go steering the boat 🤯Amazing service in surfers paradise, wonderful family owned business for great prices and million dollar views 🥰 will definitely recommend to friends and family!

Whale Watching by Sea World Cruises
Recommend this cruise
This is the best whale watch I’ve been on. The crew were excellent and the whales really put on a sow for us. Thank you Sea World cruises for a great morning.
