Worth the time
It was so good to know the history of the place and to take in the magnificence of the rock formation The crew and staff were most helpful
A Cruise without Any Commentary
Date of Cruise: 31 March 2024 We thoroughly enjoyed the river cruise, taking in the breathtaking views along the river and the Cataract Gorge. However, we were disappointed that our skipper did not give any commentary at all after he welcomed all of us on board. It would have been very informative to know the different places that we cruised by along the way as well as any other interesting information about the Gorge. âšī¸đđ
Picturesque
The guide was super informative and the gorge was beautiful, a good little trip just under an hour, calm water too
Good, inexpensive, interesting cruise.
Nice cruise. Good value and the cruise captain was knowledgeable about the area. Informative. We were appreciative of the company as they held the cruise for a few minutes because we were a little late due to traffic. On the down side, the cruise was full when we arrived so people had to sit outside. No big deal though.
Very relaxing and surprisingly protected from the weather
This was a lovely 50 minute cruise that we are really glad we took. It was a spur of the moment decision but the cruise in the wooden boat was just the best. The commentary by the captain was also really informative as he relayed the history of the various ships and shipwrecks nearby. Well worth it.
