Great people to deal with. An icon of South Australia, one that should be protected and never lost. I remember as a boy when my parents took me on the Popeye, since them my children have been and not to long and their children will have the privilege to ride the Popeye as i did. Friendly professional staff who make it a great enjoyable experience. Highly recommended.

We went on the Devonshire Tea cruise and it was a great experience. It gives a different perspective on the city. The captain/tour guide was very informative and gives a good description of the history of Adelaide. It's a must-try even if you live in, or just visiting Adelaide. Great fun for the whole family.
The scones provided were heavenly. One of the best we've had. A big shout-out to Tony and Alex for their friendly service which adds to the experience.

This 45mins cruise, was informative. A relaxing ride, with no crowd due to covid restrictions. If you are into architecture of historical buildings, this will be for you. Otherwise the occasional ducks, birds, pelicans. I personally don’t think that kids or youngsters will be too keen on this cruise. The boat was clean and spacious. Noticed that the paddle boats were wipe down immediately after the passengers left. Thanks for keeping us safe. Booking online is easy and don’t forget your seniors concession if you have one.
