Emma HaynesWe had a fantastic experience on board the Tweed River cruise! The crew was friendly and attentive, and the captain's commentary was both informative and engaging, adding a lot to the journey. We loved spotting dolphins, pelicans, and other wildlife—definitely a highlight of the cruise. The food was decent, and the drinks on board were very affordable. My only suggestion would be some more upbeat tunes - there were lots of slow/sad songs and it was such a joyous trip! Overall, it was a great experience, and we’re looking forward to doing another cruise next time we’re in the area!

Nina Al-BahraniWe were welcomed into the cruise vessel and given our allocated seats and table where we were offered coffee or tea and biscuits and cake. The captain then started to describe the Tweed River and gave us an interesting potted history and informative overview of the section of the river we were cruising on. We were also able to go up to the fully covered top deck and get great views of the embankment and surrounding areas. At one stage, scraps of fresh fish were thrown into the air for various nearby birds to catch, which gave us the opportunity to photograph them close up. We were then offered a delicious cold platter, specifically catered to our personal dietary needs and we were able to buy drinks to complement it. All in all, it was a delightful, relaxing three hours on the water, which we thoroughly enjoyed.
