I would highly recommend this cruise, it was fuss free and so relaxing. The staff were lovely and everything was very well organised. The nibbles platter was perfectly presented and delicious! Brisbane city is more beautiful than I had thought, very pretty at night and lots to see.

A different (and beautiful) way to see Brisbane

Priscila 4 May 2025

I did the Brisbane River Cruise at night as a gift for my partner, and it was a beautiful experience! Seeing the city all lit up from the river was so special. The boat has a bar, tasty snacks, great music, and a super friendly crew. After the cruise, we went out for dinner. A perfect night!

Brisbane River sunset cruise

John 3 February 2025

This was a geat cruise! Highly recommended if you like river cruises. Seeing Brisbane from the river is a great way to see it, especially at sunset. The crew were great and they provided a plate of snacks which were delicious. We’re thinking of doing this cruise again, but in winter, when it’s a bit darker. The city lights should be even better.

Customer Experience

Hi John, it is always great to hear about the wonderful experiences our customers have, thank you for sharing!
