Your journey begins conveniently from the heart of Surfers Paradise, where you'll step aboard the luxurious vessel, Spirit of Elston, setting the stage for one of the finest sightseeing and dining adventures the Gold Coast has to offer.
As you cruise along, the spacious upper deck of the Spirit of Elston provides panoramic views that showcase some of the city's most iconic landmarks. Marvel at the glittering waters of the Gold Coast Broadwater, catch a glimpse of Sea World, appreciate the cultural hub of HOTA (Home of the Arts), and admire the mega-yachts at Marina Mirage.

Save your money. It’s not a buffet & mistreatment of guests. Do not recommend.
Our cruising experience was not ok for the price we paid. We were unlucky and had the onboard manager target us the entire time because of on board disorganisation. We had a disrespectful question made by the onboard manager asking “are you going for seconds?” and asked to let people skip the queue ahead of us. I thought this was a buffet and guests can eat as little or as much as they feel is appropriate. We were made to feel uncomfortable for simply wanting to eat the food we paid for, so much that we ended up eating less than others on board and felt the worst feeling the entire time that it ruined our experience. Please do better and don’t embarrass or mock guests. I have never experienced such behaviour at any buffet before.

This experience was excellent and the food was amazing
Ok where do I start the view on the boat was great, we had air conditioning and the the food was bloody fantastic. The prawns my hubby ate were very big, the nicest prawns he has had he said. The kids enjoyed looking at the houses when we went past.

Seaworld cruise was excellent and the food was good highly recommended
Omg the food on the boat was amazing. The staff were very nice the cocktails were yummy pity, they didn't have a drink package but that is okay. The view from the top was good. This experience is good for the young and the old. The kids will love looking at the great houses along the beach.
