What to expect
You'll board a two-level vessel and spend the hour cruising through Surfers Paradise's network of canals and coastal waters. The boat moves at an easy pace—ideal for photography and taking in the surroundings. Your guide will point out architectural highlights, local history, and quirky details about the region as you pass. The open-air decks are the main draw; most travellers congregate topside for the breeze and views. Downstairs offers shade and an alternative vantage point. The bar sells drinks throughout, so factor in cash or card if you fancy something cold.
Good to know
Drinks and snacks are purchased separately and not included in your ticket price. The boat has two toilets onboard. It's wheelchair accessible throughout, with accessible transport links nearby. Prams and strollers are fine for infants; small children must sit on an adult's lap.
