- JacksgoesOSBallarat, Australia14 contributionsRelaxed way to get to SeaWorld. Loved the commentary by Alan on the way up!! Very interesting 🙏
Good price too with SeaWorld pass!!!Written 24 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Don TMelbourne, Australia16 contributionsMy wife and I had the pleasure of meeting the irrepressible Nitsa when she gave a very thorough explanation about the workings of the battery powered boat we had hired. Nitsa gave us maps of the canals, photos of marker buoys and a recommended route to take to see the most in our two hour cruise.
The two hours went by incredibly fast as there was so much to see from the comfort of the silent running boat. The boat was easy to drive and had plenty of shade.
Gayle and I thoroughly enjoyed our cruise, so much so, that I will be placing it on my "to do list" for my next visit to the Gold Coast.Written 7 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Emine M5 contributionsThis was one of the best experiences I’ve done! We’re on our honeymoon and this was PERFECT! Such a romantic and experience with the cutest boat and the most incredible views!! The views were absolutely amazing- I took so many photos. Danny was also so accommodating really friendly. I recommend booking for around sunset so you get both the sunset views and also the night skyline. Food was also great and the boat plays romantic music which really added to the ambience!Written 6 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
