5Fantastic Cruise
5 Stars absolutely loved it. We were very impressed with Mattao's lunch. All staff on board were totally amazing. We stopped on Coolenup Island and got off and had a walk. Met John and his lovely dog Maddie who both lived there ( very lucky ). Walked through Coopers Mill then back onto boat. Could not fault this - its a definate must do. Thank you so much Karen, Vin & Vyv

5Worthwhile boat cruise, highly recommend
Loved it. Highly recommend it for a great, casual, relaxing afternoon. People were lovely, and boat was a good size. Matao, the chef, went above and beyond and made me gluten free food, and brought it to me. What a gem!
1Unhappy with booking system
I have been on these cruise many times with my friend Sheila and we have had a wonderful time this time on the way to the boat my friend Sheila fainted and we had to take her to hospital I have tried to contact visitor to explain our situation and it’s impossible the lovely lady at Mandurah cruises has been very helpful and explained we should be able to rebook an a lower cost but this is completely impossible I will definitely go again but next time I will book directly
5Worthwhile
A fantastic 4+ hour cruise with lunch and snacks provided. Friendly staff and nothing was too much trouble. They are very knowledgeable about the locations we visited and the marine life etc. Would definitely recommend doing this relaxing tour.
