Brisbane City River Cruise.

Liz 25 August 2026

We had such a wonderful day on our Brisbane City River Cruise! 🛳️ What a lovely way to see Brisbane from the river. We were warmly welcomed aboard and treated to a fascinating history lesson about the river, the beautiful buildings and the many bridges along the way. It was so interesting and informative — we learnt so much! The Devonshire Tea was a real treat too. ☕️🧁 After the cruise, we headed to the Brekky Creek Hotel for a delicious lunch and enjoyed a nice cold beer straight from the wood. 🍺 Such a great day, filled with good food, interesting stories and plenty of laughs. Definitely a day to remember! ❤️

We had such an enjoyable day out on the Brisbane River. Lunch at the Breakfast CK Hotel was fantastic. The food was fresh and of generous size. I had the Cesar Salad and hubby had the parmi. Both were wonderful. Atmosphere was welcoming too.

Cruise 4 on the MV Neptune. Brilliant as usual. Leisurely cruise up the river to the Breakfast Creek Hotel. Food always awesome, couple freebie beers when they tap the keg. Great way to spend a half Sunday. Highly recommend.

Lunch great

Michelle 18 January 2026

Really enjoyed the boat trip up and back Lunch at the Breakfast Hotel was really nice and they gave a good range to select from The only thing I thought that could be looked into is that there was no crew member up top It would have been nice as we had a few questions about land marks, houses and statues that we were interested in Plus I think if some one was up on top deck then they may have sorted out a few people who thought it their right to take up the chairs and bench seats for their bags and feet while others were cramped onto what was available But other than that my family had a great day out
