We had a very pleasant evening on the boat, even though it wasn’t a great sunset. The boat captain was very nice and knowledgeable. It took us around to some beautiful and interesting size. We would do this again.
Thanks for the awesome review, it means the world to our whole team. We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed our Cairns Sunset River Cruise. Until the next adventure!
Beautiful way to spend the evening. Relaxing and we were lucky to have a beautiful sunset. Jake was very attentive and informative.
Thank you so much for the awesome review, it means so much to our team who put so much effort to making the tours a great experience. We hope to see you back soon!
Excellent! Lovely intro to Cairns
Cheers for the love! We had a blast showing you around the tropics on our Cairns River Cruise. Until the next adventure!
This was a great trip, despite the weather not playing ball. Our host, Stevo, was great. Good humour, very professional skipper who made sure our comfort and safety were absolutely top of his agenda. Complimentary drink to kick off the tour and then a very reasonably priced bar for the rest of the tour. We got to see so many bats coming in to roost at night which was great. If you’re looking for a good evening out with a friendly, great value company, this is a tour to take.
Thanks heaps! We are thrilled to hear you had a great time on our Cairns River Cruise. Nothing we love more than happy adventurers. See you next round!
My husband I went on the Sunset Cruise on Sunday 28/06/26 It was a cloudy day so we worried about our “Sunset” We didn’t have to worry ! We saw and learnt lots from our skipper Steve . I have the most amazing photos of the area. We both throughly enjoyed the trip and would recommend going Sue and Mike Turner Melbourne
