A pleasant, smaller group (6) tour to Stradbroke was a lovely way to spend a Saturday. An informed, enthusiastic guide made the experience even better. Beautiful pristine beaches, serenity and natural surroundings made one forget about the hustle and bustle of Brisbane.

We really enjoyed our relaxed cruise down the river. It was a great way to see more of the city and from a different perspective, and after a hectic week it was great to relax and enjoy a glass of wine with a beautiful sunset! the service was also really great!

Small group. Very interactive. Guide was fun and created a friendly comraderie.
