“Over charged BEWARE”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 May 2013

My family and I rode the cruise April 28, 2013. The cruise captain/co captain were very friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately Scenic River Cruises overcharged my account. When I called to point out the mistake I was told the flyer I had was last year's prices and there was nothing they could do for me. I feel they should have refunded... More

While we are happy this patron had a great time on the river, we are discouraged by the terrible rating. It is the policy of Tour New Bern to speak directly to customers when booking reservations. During this process, we explain in detail our amount per person and exactly how much will be charged on their card. This customer had... More

“Great tour of New Bern's Waterfront!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2012

I recently took a group of 28 adults from my church on the Lookout Lady and I must say that every contact with them (calling for information, booking & confirming, etc.) was a pleasant experience. Our captain and first mate were very accomodating and helpful in getting us all on board and comfortable. We all thought the cruise was excellent... More

“A review without bias!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2012

Okay so the first thing I must state, I have been on plenty of ferry boats in my day and this was the first time in my life I got seasick (disorientation wise, never got nauseous)! I will not let that ruin my review because I know it would have been an awesome experience if it were not short lived.... More

“Difficult to contact”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2012

We wanted to take the Sunset Cruise of New Bern. We went to "the Hilton Hotel & New Bern Convention Center. New Bern Grand Marina, Dock F" as the New Bern Boat Tours website indicated. There was NO ONE available to book our cruise. The Harbor Master/Dock Master seemed overly annoyed when we asked about the tour. She tersely told... More

If you read the rest of our reviews you will see that we take our business very serious. We have nothing but compliments on all of our cruises. There were no advance reservations made due to the imminent weather forecast for that evening (thunderstorms). Our cruises are by reservation. The lady in the dock office is not employed by the...

“Awesome Adventure on the Neuse River”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2012

My grandparents and I went out on a sunset tour at the end of June and we had such an amazing time. They really showed us stuff that I did not think we would do while on the cruise. I just thought it was going to be scenic however it was interactive and they even showed us how to crab... More

“Relaxing and Informative”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 July 2012

My wife and I were in New Bern visiting my daughter and her familty. When we started looking for something to do, at a reasonable price, we happened on this cruise. We weren't disappointed. The boat is a large, comfortable catamaran that takes a leisurely trip up the Neuse and Trent Rivers. The Captain also served as tour guide as... More
