Captain Dan and his team were friendly and informative. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed listening to Dan's commentary along the way. The boat holds up to 70 guests and guests have access to the three levels. The toilets are located downstairs on the lower level. Although, most of the guests were elderly they did manage the flight of stairs. The meal was a choice of roast beef or chicken and apple crumble or fresh fruit. Drinks are not included. A relaxing day out. $118 a couple including lunch.
Top Captain and Crew. Very knowable and obliging. Lovely two course dinner with plenty to choose from hot or cold. Recommend it to any one for couples, groups.etc.
Had a great day enjoyed every minute - staff helpful and friendly - lunch was very very nice (could have went back for seconds) drinks nice and cold - highly recommended
Had a very enjoyable three hour cruise with very informative commentary from the Captain and a fixed menu lunch. The lunch was enjoyed by all of our party and the bar prices were very reasonable and drinks very cold. Staff were very friendly and the boat very comfortable. Would highly recommend.
Thoroughly enjoyed our trip on the Paddle Steamer. Very relaxing, lots to see and a nice lunch which should suit all tastes. Staff were low key but efficient and attentive and it was excellent value for money. Recommend the complete experience.
We went on a Murray River cruise on the 10/01/2015 with friends. It was a dinner cruise sort of thing. The host were very nice the cruise was good and the entertainment was great, but the food was absolutely disgusting. I am by no means a food expert but I have had better meals in hospital, now you have to admit that's saying something. For the price of the 3 hour cruise including a 2 course meal is some what way over the top considering the quality or I should say lack of quality in the meal that was dished up. I cannot recommend Captain Proud Paddle Boat Cruises as a worth while outing.
The cruise was very nice, lots of Birds, nice shacks and a good lunch. Reasonably priced and value for money.
Enjoyed the cruise, friendly staff, great food, home cooked style, generous portions.The captain gave a knowledgable commentary, not to loud so you can still hear the sound of the river and the water splashing from the paddle wheel.The bar has some lovely local wines, we tried the red, very drinkable, and reasonably priced for a bar with a captive audience!
Wonderful experience even though the cruise needed to be cancelled due to thunderstorm warning. Was treated to a wonderful meal and fantastic entertainment on board. Captain Greg, his beautiful wife Vesta & crew made us so welcome. Very apologetic re - needing to heed warning of thunderstorm and has promised a free voucher to return for either a three hour lunch or dinner cruise. The food was home cooked and very delicious. The atmosphere was delightful with a cute Captain's lounge on lower deck. The surroundings of the river, the bridge, ducks. pelicons, other river craft was enchanting. Maxine the singer had a wonderful voice and get variety of songs as well as a great personality. We cannot wait to return as can only imagine how much better it will be cruising down the river. Highly recommend this as a wonderful experience and excellent value for the cost.
Thank goodness did pay the full price as we had a coupon and even at the price of $78 each was not worth it.The meal was more like canteen food. The interior of the boat is worn and shabby. There is limited sprits at the bar.The cruise was cancelled due Thunderstorm warnings .We were given tickets to return for the cruise only .Will not bother. The owners of the boat I have to say were friendly.It just was not my cup of tea!!
