It was my husband's birthday, so I thought a afternoon cruise on the Swan River would be perfect So glad I booked this cruise for him. It was a leisurely cruise on this lovely, smallish ferry. A perfect day with a terrific commentary by our very friendly Captain.

We took a round trip cruise on January 5, from Elizabeth Quay to Optus Stadium and back and had a wonderful afternoon. It ended up that we had a private trip as it was just my wife, parents and myself on the boat. Jean-Phillipe was wonderful, very friendly, knowledgeable and made sure that we were happy and comfortable throughout. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to people visiting Perth, or to take people who are visiting me.

A fabulous trip along the river in Perth WA. We stopped off in east Perth and had a bite to eat at Partisan. Wonderful. A few cafes and a pub to choose from. We had a 92 year old with us. An extremely informative and helpful Captain/ guide. Recommended!

Delightful, quiet, lazy cruise on the river. Dropped off for a nice lunch in the Optus stadium and then picked up again. Interseting commentary. Nothing really spectacular, but a lovely way to spend part of a very warm day.

My partner and I had a fabulous trip on the Little Ferry boat with a short stop to see the Optus stadium. Our skipper David was brilliant. He was very informative and we learnt a lot about how the area has changed in the last 20 years and how it is still changing. We even saw a couple of dolphins in the bay. Although the boat is for 11 people it ended up being just the two of us. Would definitely recommend.

Bob did you proud - awesome guide and very knowledgeable, even as locals we learnt some things! If you are visiting WA my advice would be to go on this delightful boat trip sooner rather than leaving it until your last few days, as the tour was full of useful information on what to do/where to go. We stopped at Claisebrook Cove for lunch, but this will depend on tides and might not be available on the day.

We took the trip up the Swan on a day when we could, not expecting too much. However, as it turned out, the trip was most interesting, J-P gave us some well researched insights into various landmarks along the way in an easy to understand manner and in a relaxed fashion. It was a fine and sunny day, the traveling quiet (due to the electric outboard motors being used) and free from unnecessary hype or exaggeration. We were able to arrive easily on time via public transport and had a most comfortable ride up to the new residential development in East Perth, where we stopped and could have stayed longer except that the boat was full on the next two return journeys. The boat took about 10-12 passengers, had comfortable seating, and cruised at pedestrian pace (which suited all on board). We returned satisfied we had a good trip and it was worth what we paid for it. Good to do, if in Perth.

This was such an intimate way to be on the river; cute little boat and so quiet. Having a small number of seats provided a very friendly and enjoyable experience. The skipper was friendly, welcoming, humorous and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended. We are locals and found it a lovely experience.

Went on the Little Ferry today for my Mum’s 89th Birthday. We got in at Elizabeth Quay and off at Claisebrook Cove and had some lunch. What a beautiful day to ride in such a quaint little wooden boat. The skipper Dave, was very informative and friendly. It’s a lovely trip for tourists AND locals! Make sure you take a ride, it’s just something a little bit special to do in Perth! Thank you to Kris for helping to organise! Amazing service!

Recommend this. This little wooden boat had electric power. Quiet, no fumes. Very pleasant slow ride up past Optus Stadium and into a cove and back. Skipper was dapper Jean Phillipe (JP). The ferry is affordable. You can bring your own food and drink on board but we had a drink at the pub where it docks. It is close to the Bell Tower (also worth seeing) and in a little cove opposite the ferry that shuttles to and from South Perth. Tickets are sold from a kiosk on the jetty.
