We've been waiting in the port as given on the information in KKDAY with 4 departures, 2 ports but little did we know our tour will turn into a nightmare. Their info and the website of the cruise is different. Tickets booked for a month or two in advance and take note you are charge as soon as you booked. The merchant knew it. You called customer service on the same day of the tour but no one answered. You called the following day to request for a refund but all their answer is WAIT. We've waited for a month and still the response is NOTHING. Is this the kind of customer service you are giving to the people who booked a tour to enjoy their vacation, or you just want to take our money and ruined our vacation? GUYS THINK MANY TIMES BEFORE MAKING A BOOKING on this company, this is absolutely a scam! Until now, we are still waiting for our refund and these two companies CAPTAIN COOK CRUISE AND KKDAY is just blaming each other and not prioritizing their customer. They even updated the KKDAY product information which is absolutely a proof that they provided us a wrong information but still they DID NOT refund our MONEY.

So maybe we had a poor sense of choice and maybe we ended up going on the wrong Captain Cook cruise. Maybe that's why I'm left here feeling discouraged from speaking highly of them. We booked a really last minute (as in buy tickets as people are boarding) Swan River Scenic Cruise. You can opt for lunch on board for an extra $30, but I've had a buffet on board a boat before and that didn't interest me. We did the return, staying on board for the duration option, as we were going to spend an entire other day in Fremantle. Honestly, it gets boring. The commentary was fine and informative, but so easy to zone out of. By the time you get to Fremantle, you're ready to get off along with the rest of the ferry. And then the entire ride back is mostly quiet (he can't commentate and point out things he's already pointed out) and boring. The next day we did Rottnest Island, and the Rottnest Express ferry and the upbeat commentary of the Swan River left us wondering what was the point of the Captain Cook one we went on and it just led to complete regret in making that decision. In saying everything, Captain Cook does have a lot of cruising options, maybe just go with one that isn't the standard Swan River Scenic one?

My beloved partner bought tickets from redballoon.com for a lunch river cruise after seeing their exciting advertisement. The lunch consisted of a four hour journey up the swan river towards the swan valley area, including a buffet lunch, desserts and unlimited drinks from their beverage list. You can also buy a bottle (or two) of exclusive wines from the swan valley region either for yourself or a gift for that "alcoholic" friend you may know. I believe the wines were reasonable priced, but alas we did not buy any since I did not want any friends who may be on the receiving end to pick up any bad habits (*very responsible of me). The journey began when we arrived at the Barrack Street jetting and presented our voucher from redballoon to the Captain Cook cruise counter. The nice worker there told us where to go and gave us our tickets. The boat was not hard to find since it was one of two and your ticket clearly states the name of the boat you may be boarding, so its not rocket science. There were three staff members who looked after us throughout the entire journey, one of which entertained us with his "Michael Buble`" singing towards the end of the journey. The food was a nice selection of cold meats, salads and a few hot dishes such as pasta, fish, rice and curry. I will admit it's nothing to rave about but the hospitality of the cruise made it all worth while. Plus the views of swan river and some interesting facts of Perth from the captain was very enlightening. The cruise did drift pass some residential areas which I thought was a little snoopy but it can't be avoided since some houses live right on the banks of the river. Still, the fact that we were cruising pass some private homes and people's backyards did not stop me from looking or envying their beautiful houses. Dessert was just simply a selection of four cakes and a fruit platter. This also included tea and coffee. Again nothing to rave about but everything was so beautifully presented. During the cruise everyone was welcomed to walk around the boat as well as go outside (not into the river) onto the front of the ship where there was seating areas. As a rule of thumb, since the seating area is at the front of the boat, it would be most wise not to block the view of the captain (who is driving). I would most definitely come back for another cruise since I had a wonderful time with the hospitality and cruising down the river with spectacular views with good company. There are options for other cruises, such as a cruise down the Fremantle way, a whole day cruise or a dinner cruise. All which I believe are reasonalbe priced for the amount of alcohol your permitted to drink (don't go over board).

Book a day cruise with Captain Cook Cruise from Perth to Swan Valley. I enjoy my cruise alot, especially the nice scenery ..... oh gosh this is really captivating. My family enjoy the trip as much as i do. We visited the Lan Caster Wineries, the chocolate factory and the brewery. Simply love the cruise and road trip. I would love to book it once again.

I went for a dinner cruise with Captain Cooke Cruises. I wouldn't do it all the time but it was definitely a fun thing to do! We pushed off about 7:30pm, it was a 3 hour cruise out to Fremantle and back to Barrack Street Jetty. There was a buffet dinner plus dessert, wine and beer is included with other drinks (ie champagne, spirits etc) available to purchase. There was a dj and a dance floor, the staff were kind and courteous, and all around good time to be had :)

This cruise line is the best I've been on. I've had several short cruises along the Swan River. The commentary is always good and they deliver everything they say they will. A particularly good cruise is the Upper Swan Lunch Cruise. On this one, we depart at 1.15pm, sit at set tables, are provided with a sumptuous buffet lunch (you can believe those words with this organisation - not like many others), good wines, lovely desserts and some marvellous entertainment provided by crew members. It is very enjoyable. We return to Barrack Street Jetty at 4pm. I highly recommend it.

A nice relaxing way to see the surrounding area. Very comfortable cruiser (James Stirling), nice views, not crowded at all. Buffet was organized instead a mad rush to the food. Prices for excluded drinks are reasonable and crew was courteous.

My girl friend and I went on a lunch cruise with Captain Cook today and had a lovely afternoon. I was pleased to find that the wine included with the price of the ticket was quite nice. I wasn't expecting that. The buffet was good. There were 3 hot dishes several salads cold meet and seafood. I don't think anyone disembarked hungry. The staff were friendly and one of them turned out to be a really good singer. The skipper has a good knowledge of the area surrounding the river and gave an informative commentary on the way up the river. I would recommend the lunch cruise to tourists or locals looking to do something they haven't done for a while.

Cruise from Perth to Fremantle or to Swan Valley wine region. They do cruises for lunch, dinner or just a little joy ride. I have been on the freo tour and the swan valley tour and both lived up to expectations, well I think the memories are a little fuzzy on both times but the photos tell a story or two. It reminded me of taking a cruise from fisherman's port in San Francisco, so if you feel like being on holiday stroll down to the Barrack St Jetty for a little cruise around Perth. Ideal for bored perthlings, tourists, visitors and a great spot for a company outing. The food was pretty average, but it soaked up the booze and there were loads of prawns to keep devouring.
