My friend and I thought we would try the Popeye cruise when we were visiting Adelaide last week and we were not disappointed The staff were so helpful and informative, there is so much to learn by going on this cruise. The Devonshire Tea is not to be missed, so delicious. we had the most delightful time and we would recommend everyone visiting Adelaide to try it.

It was an awesome tour with parts of Adelaide I have never seen before The guide told us all about things that we never knew. My favourite was the Old Adelaide Goal, the stories were fantastic

What a fantastic way to spend a morning. Learn some history about Adelaide while you cruise down the Torrens on the iconic Popeye. Thankyou team, we had a marvellous time onboard.

The whole trip was really enjoyable. It takes about 40 mins and you can disembark at the zoo and then hop back on when you’re ready. It was interesting to hear about the city of Adelaide and a really different way to see the place.

The trip was excellent. The host/driver was very knowledgeable and had a lovely brand of light humour that added to the experience. The assistant was also very attentive and looked after everyone very well. Probably the highlight of our 5-day trip to Adelaide.
