Comments/Reviews
“The commentary was interesting, and I learnt much about this wonderful City of Brisbane. An excellent morning tea of scones, cream and jam was outstanding and onboard bar service was provided for a reasonable price. We disembarked and lunched at the iconic Breakfast Creek Hotel. The chargrilled rump was delicious. There was plenty of time to enjoy lunch before re-joining the boat and heading back upstream. It was a relaxing and enjoyable day and a great way to introduce visitors to Brisbane. I highly recommend this adventure”.
This cruise is awesome, informative commentary onboard, scones and coffee for morning tea was very nice. We’ve done this cruise three times now each time we visit Brisbane,
Lunch at the breakfast creek hotel great…as always! I had the rump steak…was to die for. $60 inc lunch is excellent value, we will be back again”.
