the crew member onwarded Ashlee performed very well. She is very much friendly and helpful thru out. A note of big thanks to her. please retain her for her excellent performance and service onboard.
Captain Peter performed very well too, He gives very clear and direct information for all the spots which were visited. The whole cruise journery is well planned. one particular thanks to the Operation Manager is her telephone reminder when me and my son were rushing in the street to the boarding venue. Highly appreciate this personalised service. Well done

although i used to live on the gold coast, i really enjoyed taking a friend from out of town on this cruise, she was in awe of the homes we saw and how beautiful and clean the waterways are, the lunch was basic but did the job, it was not rushed, just a lovely outing even if the weather is not that good i think it would be worth the trip, the guide was informative and very funny you can buy various drinks onboard,
the cruise boat is easy to find it is in the park that is in the middle of surfers paradise so easy to get to via bus or tram,

A budget priced tour so don't expect too much. It was well run and very pleasant. The commentary was good and not overwhelming with useless facts - just right. The food was reasonable quality and given the price it was a level better than expected.
The scenery is great and with perfect weather how could you not enjoy!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
