Swan Valley Wine Cruise

The crew were excellent and informative. The day had nice weather and the food went well with the wine.

It was delightful to sail upstream away from the city centre on the scenic Swan River. The wine tasting and lunch platters were delicious. We enjoyed our time onshore at Mandoon Estate, indulging in a unique wine and macaron pairing. On the return journey, sweets, tea, coffee and more drinks were available, and there were also lovely vocal performances by crew members. Many thanks to our crew Ethan, Joy, Finley and Ayisha for making this a great day out!

Took dad on this cruise for a surprise birthday. It was brilliant, enjoyed the food and the wine tasting and had a lot of fun with those who went with us

What an absolutely superb and unforgettable day cruising along the magnificent Swan River from Perth to Mandoon Jetty! Lee was an excellent captain and provided fascinating, informative commentary throughout the outward journey, while Joy and Mai looked after us magnificently. The food and wine served on board were delectable, and the winery visit was both interesting and highly enjoyable. Tasting wines matched with macarons was a wonderfully novel experience and worked surprisingly well. The return cruise gave us another opportunity to admire the spectacular scenery and sights along this beautiful river, but the unexpected highlight was Joy performing a fabulous selection of songs. What an extraordinary voice! If you are looking for a relaxing full-day cruise combining outstanding service, delicious food, excellent wine, magnificent scenery and great entertainment, all at a very reasonable price, this cruise is most certainly for you. It was an exceptional experience from beginning to end and we cannot recommend it highly enough.

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.

This cruise was the most amazing experience, from the food, commentary and even the entertainment from the staff...truly amazing and definitely worth it!

Terrific Cruise Staff friendly every thing went perfect. Very helpful as we travelled with family who have mobility issues so at winery had a Cart for them to take up to Cellar Doors.

Staff were amazing, relaxed and fun. Food was great, lovely shared platter with my partner. The whole experience was memorable
