The trip was fabulous and even though it was drizzling it was still wonderful! The crew were friendly, skipper informative and they catered to our every need including lovely food and commentary. Definitely a highlight of our stay at Gold Cost. Going to do it in a houseboat soon.

The River and Rainforest cruise was everything as advertised, the delicious lunch with fresh local produce. Feeding the birds of prey was another highlight. Highly recommended, well worth doing. The staff are friendly, efficient and expert at what they do.

Amazing, informative trip with lovely friendly, knowledgeable staff. Murray gave an interesting commentary and we were lucky enough to have dolphins swimming along with the boat on our way back! Alannah looked after the food and drinks, great to sample local produce, including fresh prawns, and the servings were so generous, we couldn't finish. She also went out of her way for a member of our party who had a slight medical episode. Lovely sunny day on the way and a little light rain on the way back, which didn't detract from the trip. Spacious, comfortable boat with sunshade up top. Highly recommended.
