We loved the cruise except the live entertainment, the singer was overbearing and not very enjoyable. Left a sour taste in the mouth. Amazing cocktails too.

This has to be the most professional company I have ever dealt with. Very friendly and is 100% customer service orientated. I had a technical issue with the campervan and received assistance within a short period of time. The issue could not be resolved in a timely manner but I received an alternative solution which allowed me to continue on to Cairns. Got reimburse for the additional expenses without delay. Great company and would highly recommend them to anyone. If required I would definitely use them in the future.
