Swan Valley Wine Cruise
Description
Nowhere else in Australia can you depart from a capital city by boat, and arrive in an award winning wine region on the same day. Relax and enjoy the iconic city skyline and beautiful picturesque landscape as you escape the city and cruise leisurely into the upper regions of the Swan Valley. You'll be treated to a delicious shared platter lunch on board the boat with a glass of wine followed by a wine tasting experience at Mandoon Estate! All of this is capped off with live entertainment and tantalizing desserts on board your return cruise.

The whole point of us booking this cruise was to view historic sites all along the Swan River. Our colleague is a history buff and we wanted to treat him to a tour along the river. When we boarded the cruise we were informed that we were only going to Maylands (a third of the full distance!) due to high waters and that a bus would take us from Maylands to Mandoon Estate and back. The skipper would have known the tides and water levels before that morning and prior knowledge also allowed them to arrange the bus to ship us most of the way to Mandoon and back. The organisers did not notify anyone of these changes to the cruise (two thirds of the trip was not completed). This is unacceptable. We had a booking of 7 people specifically for this trip and we were not notified beforehand of the changes and given the option to change our booking dates. This is what should have occurred. Instead, they delivered a trip that we did not pay for. I'll be notifying the ACCC. Completely unacceptable and ruined the day for us. Would not recommend booking with Captain Cook Cruises or via this platform.

A great day out and wonderful value. The crew are so welcoming, food delicious and very generous with the wine and beer. Amust for anyone visiting Perth.
Just what we like to hear, sounds like you had a great day out with us into the Swan Valley!
The wine cruise was relaxing and the weather perfect, saw dolphins (unexpectedly), nice food, great entertainment and great boat crew. It stopped at one winery, which was disappointing due to the lack of air-conditioning and not great wine and what they paired the wine with was over sweet and over strong in taste(everyone has different taste) another winery would have been nice to visit.
Thanks for your feedback Faith. Sounds like you had a great experience with our Crew on the Swan River. We will certainly consider your feedback for when we review our product next.
A great day out, the scenery all the way to Mandoon Winery was beautiful, the food was exceptional, as was the wine. The entertainment from the girls on the way back home was great. Well done girls.
