We had a fantastic time on Popeye! Had a wonderful Devonshire tea and the skipper was very entertaining and knowledgeable. I have lived in Adelaide for 62 years and learnt some things I didn't know about the Torrens and my cousin Paul and his wife Louise thoroughly enjoyed the trip !

This was a lovely ride. We weren’t sure what to expect, and pleased with our ride, seeing some wildlife on the water and river banks. And much more. Great commentating. The Torrens river banks have some beautiful lawns and gardens divided by retaking walls made of bricks/ rocks making it all really affective and attractive for the Popeye passengers. I’d encourage anyone to take a ride..

I had a beautiful time on this river cruise! Sam and Anastasia were very friendly and passionate about informing guests about Adelaide and its history. We got to get off at the zoo and botanic gardens and get picked up later in the day. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience not only for my grandchildren but also for the adults aboard the river cruise. The “Captain” was terrific - absolutely across the history and current news of the area. I learnt so much about my own “backyard” as did the children. The crew were extremely personable yet professional, funny and entertaining. The Captain kept all aboard totally engaged throughout the 45 minute tour. My seven year old grandson wanted to join the following cruise to go again! We will definitely be buying vouchers as gifts for friends and family. A classic example of forgetting what we have in our own backyard. It made me proud to be a South Australian! Congratulations on a premium tourism experience (I used to be an Australian Tourism Awards judge in a past life so I can say that!). Have to give the nearby Home Ground cafe/restaurant a big shout out too for great coffee and al fresco lunch after the cruise. Thank you for making the day such a memorable experience for my grandchildren and me!

Enjoyed the cruise & commentary. We booked 10am & that worked well with then fitting in other things for the day. Booking was easy & instructions worked well. I enjoyed the old photos. Getting off at the zoo worked well as we walked back through the Botanical Park & Gardens. Adelaide put on a beautiful day too. Thank-you! Captain following swans was a hit too as l we come up from Melbourne to see swans!
