    Excellent trip. The Mirimar crew were friendly and helpful, a good commentary on the way out. The koala sanctuary was excellent, so much to see there and good food available. Three hours seemed a long time for a visit but it flew by and we thoroughly enjoyed it all. Highly recommended/

    The staff is great, humour is part of the day. You are a little rushed in every activity, but this is due to Ferry time. Kayaking was a little bit redundant if you have done the snorkelling before. Bring some glasses to protect your eyes for the Sandboarding...

    Great, informative and relaxing cruise.
    We visited Brisbane 40 years ago and wanted to see all the changes, this was a perfect way to see the Brisbane City.
    The commentary was very good and seats were very comfy with extra cushions.
    The crew were very polite and welcoming as were the complimentary tea, coffee and muffins.

    Delightful way to spend the day as local tourists. A great reminder how beautiful the Brisbane River is. Delicious rump steak meal at the Brekkie Creek.

    Had a great time! The boat was nice and the food was good. The crew was friendly. I would recommend if you do just one tour to consider this one.

    What a gorgeous summer evening. Brisbane is beautiful at night and the cruise is a lovely way to see it. The crew were delightful, friendly and professional.

    Very well presented & lovely clean boat. Had an excellent time and got right up close to a mother & her cub. Brilliant experience. The captain was very knowledgable about the whales and their life out at sea.

    Great views, very witty, and interesting. A little disappointing as the wheel was broken. Lunch at the plough inn was delicious

    Have another booked for tomorrow

    An excellent way to spend a sunny afternoon. Cute boat, amusing and informative commentary and not too crowded. Good value for a 90 minute cruise.

    We had a great time on the 4 hour Gold Coast jet ski tour with Paco. He was able to book us in same day with ease. We have done jet ski tours in the past on the Gold Coast and this is the best one so far! Thanks again.

    Most fun I’ve had on a jetski, Devon’s a legend. Definitely the most enjoyable way to see Brisbane, great value for money.
