    We did enjoy the cruise. The ships graveyard was interesting and our hosts were knowledgeable. The dolphins were a bit shy when we went. Only downside...it is expensive for what it is and no food or drinks are available. We've been on previous cruises on the Port River on a much bigger boat, where you could buy lunch, drinks, etc and that cruise was much cheaper in price.

    A very relaxing, informative river cruise up the Port Adelaide River and around Garden Island. Great seeing the Ships' Graveyard, the loading of grain ships and the restoration of other vessels. The captain of our tour was friendly, easy going and full of maritime knowledge. Water provided on board, as well as sunscreen. It was lovely standing out on the bow and the cabin with all glass windows provided great viewing opportunities. We even saw a dolphin which swam right past the boat.

    My experience with Port River Cruises was fantastic! Ben, the tour guide, added a delightful touch with his humor and entertaining dad jokes. His knowledge about dolphins and the ships in and around the port was impressive and informative. We even got lucky and saw a few Dolphins swimming around. The cruise offered a perfect blend of fun and learning, making it a memorable and enjoyable outing. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and entertaining maritime experience.

    We had a very relaxed and fun tour, our host/captain was Chris and he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area, he could answer all the questions posed to him by us and other passengers. We saw a few dolphins and were able to have a 5 minute stop to see if we could spot them again before moving on, which was very nice of him! He also gave us a recommendation for lunch which we went and had after the tour which was delicious, thank you Chris! 😊
