An enjoyable cruise on the canals

Michelle_K, Jan 2023
We had a canal cruise with Nitza on New Year’s Eve. It was a lovely way to see Surfers Paradise from a different perspective and Nitza was a knowledgeable and entertaining guide.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you Michelle for taking the time to provide a review, it was so nice meeting you and your family visiting from England. I'm pleased that you all enjoyed the NYE Cruise. We do wish you all the best for 2023, and hope to welcome you back onboard in the not too distant future.
