We enjoyed our lunch cruise

Alenka 24 February 2025

My husband and I recently went on the lunch cruise on the Murray river from Mandurah with Sea West. There was plenty of yummy food, free coffee and tea (but you have to bring your own cup) and the crew were very friendly. We saw dolphins and a historic mill building on an island. There is a top deck and below deck (enclosed) both with tables and chairs. If on top deck, bring a coat and maybe a headband in case the wind is strong. We had a very enjoyable trip.

Customer Experience

Hi Alenka, it’s great to hear about your positive experience. Thank you for your kind words and feedback!

Enjoyable afternoon cruise

Steven 24 May 2024

We enjoyed our lunch cruise on the Murray River with Mandurah Cruises. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and promptly sorted our booking mistake (mine not theirs) and were receptive to our request to lower the volume of the music playing in the cabin. Honestly, we don't get why people need to listen to music on a leisurely River cruise! Lunch buffet was good with plenty of food for all, and the free flow tea and coffee was a nice addition. All up a very enjoyable experience.
