Sunday
Highly recommend, was good when it was overcast so a sunny day would be better but there are good indoor, outdoor & covered spaces. Great staff & service and the food was delish & reasonably priced.

As exciting as 5 knots down a river is.
The boat was nice and staff friendly. This is a very slow trip and as such was exactly what I was expecting. The only issues that I had with this are that the commentary was very sparse and the arithmetic of the staff was challenged. A statement would be made every now and again but there was very little exposition on things about Hamilton and the river. I had to ask questions to get some interesting info. We had a $5 dollar food credit each ($10 for those that are also challenged). 2 muffins @ 4.50 with a coffee @ $3.50 and a Ginger beer @ $4.00 (less the $10) was apparently $21.50, then $11.50 and only with detailed explanation could they understand the correct cost. Apology was very mutted. Over it was fine but could have been better.

River Cruise - great fun
River cruise was really enjoyable! The lady who served us was superb, the captain gave a bit of info here and there, without talking non stop. You can buy food on board while enjoying the river scenery.
