2-hour Sightseeing Lunch Cruise with fresh local prawns

Set sail on the waters of the Gold Coast’s lovely canals at midday for a delightful lunch cruise with the city’s longest-running river cruise company.

Views from both the deck and the large windows will showcase some of the Gold Coast’s most famous regional highlights – such as the magnificent homes of the rich and famous, the glittering waters of the Gold Coast Broadwater, and other renowned locations such as iconic theme park Sea World, Marina Mirage and its cavalcade of yachts and wharves, and the glamorous Palazzo Versace – Australia’s only “six-star” hotel. Sit back and relax while enjoying your food and taking in the interesting and informative commentary of the surroundings from our friendly crew – you won’t find a more satisfying lunch experience on the Gold Coast!
