Private Gold Coast Canal Cruise on Limo on the Water

8 Reviews

1 hour to 5 hours

Overview

This is a private canal cruise on the Gold Coast aboard a custom-built electric boat, with a skipper and space for up to 12 people. It is more of a laid-back sightseeing trip than a high-energy boat tour, with a smooth and quiet ride that suits first-time boaters as well as groups after something a bit different. You will cruise the waterways to see the city skyline, high-end waterfront homes and any wildlife spotted along the way.

Free cancellation

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Why backpackers love it

If you are travelling with mates, this works well as a private group option rather than joining a standard shared cruise. The skipper keeps things easy, so there is no stress about navigation, and the quiet electric boat gives it a more relaxed feel than a party boat or fast ride. It is not a budget-basement activity, but split across a group it can be a solid pick for birthdays, low-key celebrations or a different way to see the Gold Coast without much planning.

What to expect

After boarding, your skipper takes care of the navigation so you can settle in and enjoy the ride. The boat glides through the canals at a relaxed pace, which makes it easy to take in the views without the noise and vibration you get on many other boats. Expect a sightseeing-focused trip centred on the Gold Coast waterways, with views of prestige real estate, the skyline and the chance to spot local wildlife. The cruise length varies depending on what you book, from one hour up to five hours. You can also bring your own food and drinks onboard. The vessel is wheelchair accessible, and prams, strollers and service animals are allowed.
