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.

I organised a 50th birthday party private boat tour on the boat. The staff were really friendly and nothing was too much of an ask. The food was awesome sussages and rissoles with salads. I couldn't have asked for a better experience for the birthday.

This was a very pleasant cruise on a beautiful day on Lake Mulwala. We had a BBQ lunch and a couple of drinks. The commentary was good and the service friendly. We thought the pricing was excellent.

Spent a lovely lunch time cruising on the lake. Travis gave interesting information without sounding like a pre recorded script, music was enjoyable. Travis engaged with guests in a casual but informative playful manner and delivered safety messages appropriately to children. BBQ lunch was served in an efficient manner and was enjoyed.

The owners of this boat hired the upstairs of the boat for a hens party with normal patrons downstairs. Hens party music was blaring upstairs and downstairs with no effort to turn it off downstairs. Music was so loud we could not hear each other talking, music was rude, disgusting and distasteful and the owners of the cruise boat did nothing about it. None of the ordinary patrons was happy and we were glad to get off. I also expected some commentary about the lake and surrounds as most tourists would expect and as they advertised. I would never recommend this cruise.

What a great way to spend a relaxing couple of hours cruising Lake Mulwala enjoying a bbq lunch cooked on board and a glass of wine, soaking up the sunshine whilst enjoying the magnificent views. The red wood forest was a highlight and Captain Travis manoeuvred us through it safely. He pointed out numerous landmarks along the way, one of which was Chinaman's Island that has a walking track that I enjoyed the next day. I highly recommend Travis and his crew aboard the Paradise Queen. You won't be disappointed! Even if the weather is inclement they have inside viewing.

A lovely lunch experience on the Paradise Queen. Strongly recommend including the meal - a barbecue with fresh salads was good value. A bar with a great selection of wines and beers (Stubbies $5.) It was very relaxing. Travis, our host, provided an informative and entertaining commentary and was most considerate and helpful.

Doesnt matter what the weather, lake mulwala on the Paradise Queen is a beauty. Family friendly. Great dinner, laid back friendly staff who will always stop and chat for more information and the boomnetting during April is still a winner for the kids! Captian is always up for a chat and welcoming. Beautiful views all around the lake and great locals making you feel welcome from the shores. Have done both lunch and dinner cruises. Highly recommended both.

We decided as we walked past the boat this morning to take their sunset cruise and loved it! Great food, lovely service, wonderful scenery and just an overall pleasant experience. Great value for money at $45 pp including a 2 course meal and a 3 hour tour of Lake Mulwala. Loved it!
