Was a beautiful day so we sat at the back at table and chairs and speed on a few drinks. Was a perfect relaxing day.
The cruise itself was ok. Cold. As we were out on the back deck and not really what I was expecting - which was a little more historical aspect - what was the life and blood of the swan river in its heyday.
Thanks for your honest feedback. We are sorry to hear that you found the cruise disappointing. It can certainly be cold somedays on the outside deck. We are always looking to improve our commentary, so we will pass your feedback on to the relevant team, thank you again.
A convenient, comfortable and relaxing chance to get out on the water and make your way to Fremantle. Great to have the option to get off and explore or just take a nice 2 1/2 hour round-trip boat trip.
Exactly, a great way to spend a few hours on the Swan River. Thank you for choosing Captain Cook Cruises!
Information on Swan River settlement given during the trip. Great morning cruise to Fremantle. Crew gave good service.
Fantastic to hear, sounds like you enjoyed our popular Scenic Cruise on the Swan River. It is a great way to travel between Perth and Fremantle!
Swan river cruise was superb and dock quick walk to Perth station… loads of restaurants at dock. The river views are incredible and the dolphins and kite riders were pure bonus … Go Perth!

Hi Carol, Thanks for being so understanding with the last minute change due to the weather. So glad you enjoyed the cruise!
The Swan River Scenic Cruise was a relaxing and enjoyable 2 hour 30 minute experience with beautiful river and city views. The admission fee was reasonable, the atmosphere was calm and pleasant, and the crowd size was comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout the cruise. Best for couples, families, tourists, and anyone looking for a peaceful sightseeing activity in Perth.
Thanks for the wonderful feedback! We are so happy to hear that you found our Scenic Cruise along the Swan River so pleasant.
A wonderful cruise with lots of commentary, just disappointing when other passengers talk through it, and it is difficult to hear the Captain over them. Staff were great, very polite and attentive. Highly recommended
Thanks foryour feedback. If the commentary is difficult to hear,we do have a QR code that you can scan and follow along that way. Great to hear that you still enjoyed the cruise, so thank you!
Good water perspective tour of the Swan River from Perth to Fremantle return. Commentary was top level about suburbs along the way and pleasant. Staff all friendly and helpful!!
That is so nice to hear; a cruise with Captain Cook Cruises is truly the best way to experience our beautiful Swan River!
