Customer Reviews
Excellent and well worth doing the two hour cruise. By doing the one hour cruise you would only see one part of the river and would miss out on the other, each half is very different.
Really enjoyed the walk around the gardens with the variety of plants, birds and the lovely scenery. Plenty of shaded areas for shelter from the afternoon heat that we experienced with drinking water and toilet facilities available throughout the area. Signage was excellent for the many paths we came across and for finding our way back to the city.
Lovely gardens. Very peaceful. One thing that made me impression were the many dogs and their owners- something usually not allowed in other countries around the world as the dogs might make a mess around the plants. The cactuses on the East part of the garden were impressive. The Children garden was a real oasis for peace. There is even a hidden bamboo garden. The Observatory is also here.
