We really enjoyed the cruise. Was very relaxing - Bernadette
Every visitor to Robertson and surrounding should make this cruise part of their visit. R130 is affordable comparing with other activities. Get a few snacks from the Deli and drinks and enjoy the 50 min trip on the river! The only disappointing part was the live music at the restaurant were we would have loved to have lunch. It was impossible to have an conversations with friends and decided to stand far away on the grassed area that was already packed with people seated in the shade. This was our second time on the cruise and much enjoyed by our friends we took there. - Gail
My family and I enjoyed an amazing day on the river. Your shop is well stocked so plenty of goodies to ensure the perfect picnic experience. - Yolande
