Staff were friendly and constructive giving fun facts and the bonus of a small boat means it wasn’t over crowded and got up close and personal to waterfalls

Stunning cruise

Absolutely worth every penny! The cruise was such an amazing experience. The skipper was incredible nice and provided us with all necessary information. The boat itself is relatively small which is perfect for the trip! Would always take mitre peak cruises again!
