Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review 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.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What a hidden gem! Highly recommend. Brian was a great host. The food was very plentiful. You bring your own wine so no added expense there. Can’t say enough good things.

Booked the private dinner cruise for a valentines gift. Was absolutely blown away. Very well organised and easy to find. The Gondala was super cute and had everything you need. The seats were cozy and comfortable. To be honest I wasn’t expecting much with the food given dinner was in a Gondala but the food was amazing. Huge servings. We had the pork belly and chicken and both were super tasty. And the cheesecake was to die for
Overall it was an amazing experience. So relaxing and romantic. It’s something we will never forget. The only disappointment was that I didn’t book the two hour cruise. If you are thinking of doing this don’t hesitate
Thank you for an amazing experience

We booked this with some concerns as our daughter who has been in Brisbane for more than two years had never heard of it. She has now. We book the one hour twilight cruise and could easily have spent a couple of hours. Brad, our Goldolier, was great and all in all we had a fabulous time. Good platter served with cruise and really great value for money. Would recommend this to anyone.

My wife and I had a very romantic 90 minute cruise in the Gondola, complete with a beautiful dinner. Our cruise was after dark and so visited an array of canals to appreciate the city lights and views of Gold Coast at night.
The whole experience was well organised, professional and very romantic. We enjoyed looking at the various mansions, range of boats and just chatting as we cruised (relatively quietly) on the water.
We felt it was value for money and something we were happy we did. Well worth it.

Had a romantic sunset cruise on 1st September, bought along and amazing red wine that went fabulously with the ham, chicken and fruit platter. Way more food than the two of us could eat. 1 1/2 cruise was the perfect length. The only thing missing was having someone on the bow playing a violin, however they would most likely fall off. 😊

We were given an evening cruise up the Brisbane river on a gondola for our joint birthday gift. It was a fantastic evening, warm with a cool breeze and a gorgeous sunset. The gondola was comfortable and the cheese platter was delicious. We took our own wine and water and it was a most enjoyable experience.

Gavin I can't express well enough how wonderful tonight was. Having read some negative reviews I was actually nervous. My darling loved his seafood and lit up when we went into the 'secret garden' to find a private pontoon and a Gondola for two! Such a wonderful surprise! The river was beautiful and the Gondola was exceptional. Worth every cent and we will do it again!

Hi Leisa L,
Thank you so much for your kind review. When those last reviews were published the gondola's were under different managers. Now we are back on track... We are aiming to get to everyone's feedback on the cruises to make them exactly what our customers like.
Can't wait to see you again.
Gavin

Birthdays at our age are a little traumatic, and this was the balm to soothe our souls. Gently lapping waves against the gunwales, watching the sun set, eating some of the best seafood I have had in years and chasing it with Moët. It's such a simple concept, elegantly realised. We were welcomed on board and then left alone with our privacy to enjoy the evening. My wife kept calling it a "once in a lifetime experience", but I am sure that we will back quite a lot! Highly recommended.

Wonderful surprise from my partner to cheer me up after some tough times and bad news. Blanket, candles, enclosed gondola...just lovely and incredibly relaxing. The guy steering the gondola was very friendly and as I'm unable to eat due to a medical condition (I'm tube fed) even romantically put my little bottle of milk I have to sip into the champagne bucket! Just lovely. Highly recommended! Sunset was just perfect timing too so I recommend this time of day!
