Wow thanks so much Mary and Lance for your kind review and for spending the time with us on the water. We hope to see you again soon!
Loved it. Highly recommend it for a great, casual, relaxing afternoon. People were lovely, and boat was a good size. Matao, the chef, went above and beyond and made me gluten free food, and brought it to me. What a gem!
Thanks so much for your review and comments regarding our crew, so pleased to hear you had a great time on board and we hope to see you again soon!
I have been on these cruise many times with my friend Sheila and we have had a wonderful time this time on the way to the boat my friend Sheila fainted and we had to take her to hospital I have tried to contact visitor to explain our situation and it’s impossible the lovely lady at Mandurah cruises has been very helpful and explained we should be able to rebook an a lower cost but this is completely impossible I will definitely go again but next time I will book directly
So sorry to hear you were having trouble contacting Viator to explain your situation - I believe the 1 star is for them, not for Mandurah Cruises. I am glad our staff members have been able to assist and please feel welcome to join us on board in the future!
A fantastic 4+ hour cruise with lunch and snacks provided. Friendly staff and nothing was too much trouble. They are very knowledgeable about the locations we visited and the marine life etc. Would definitely recommend doing this relaxing tour.

Departed on time. Staff were extremely accommodating in terms of seating for our large group. All the food was delicious and the drinks were affordable. Loved the music selection and the bingo game. We even got to meet the dolphin family who was escorting us all the way back to the bridge before the canals.
Thanks for the 5-star review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the food, service, and even some dolphin company — sounds like a great day all around.
Cruising the Murray River was lovely. Great commentary from the crew who were all super friendly. The lunch was fantastic. This was a really good way to see the waterways around Mandurah. Teresa (UK)
