Was ok been on better in Mooloolaba more informative. Lunch was fresh and yummy, not enough choices of largar for my husband. The things that let it down. The internal tannoy system let the whole experience down. Unless you went on the top deck you could not hear the captain speaking. Only thing we took from the experience was house prices.
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the fresh lunch. We apologize for the issues with the onboard PA system and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your comments will be shared with our team as we continue to improve our guest experience.
Easy to book we sat at an outside table. We loved the comfy loungers, where we enjoyed the $15 Margherita specials. The lunch was delicious and plentiful- fresh prawns, mussels, ham on the bone and scrumptious lemon chicken and rice. Dessert was passion fruit pavlova with fresh mango, crisp chocolate brownie and fresh fruit. Great scenery, going under bridges and past interesting locations. The tour included interesting info of landmarks with good music inbetween. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the easy booking process, comfortable loungers, delicious food, and our $15 Margherita special.

We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you aboard again soon! - Sea world Lunch Cruise Team.
Great food and selection of beverages. Great to hear about the area even as a local resident. Cant wait for whale season...love being a tourist at home.
Thanks so much for the kind words! We’re really glad you enjoyed all we have to offer, and even better that you picked up a few new things about the Gold Coast as a local! Whale season is just around the corner… and we can’t wait to have you back onboard for it!
The evening dinner cruise was super.from the reception greeting to the captain 🧑✈️ and the staff and the catering. We were made welcome, shown to our beautiful white table clothed tables, which held a small vase and live greenery, thank you, a beautiful and thoughtful touch. Having the white tables clothes made all the difference to a romantic and cosy dining experience. Everything on board was spotlessly clean. The furniture, the washrooms, the seating, the floor, the bar, the servers, so clean and refreshing. The service was faultless. The staff were extremely engaging and the captain entertaining. The on board musician was a delight with a range of music to soothe the night away. And the food, so fresh. Plentiful, and absolutely delicious. Congratulations to all that served that night and to the chef for her wonderful barramundi and roast foods selections. The vegetarian dishes were delightful as were the sweets, and the perfect coffee. There was no skimping on this experience, well worth the money for the evening. Extremely professional in its execution.
This was such a pleasure to read. Knowing the evening felt special from start to finish is exactly what we hope for every guest who steps onboard. Your lovely comments about the crew, atmosphere, presentation, and dining experience will be shared with the whole team — they’ll be so appreciative. And we agree… the barramundi is pretty hard to beat! Thank you for spending your evening with us, and for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We hope to welcome you back again soon.
The cruise is great but Viator changed the date without informing us so we turned up on a day we had booked and confirmed and there was no places for our party of 7. Awful. Had to travel back on another occasion when Viator sent the correctly dated tickets through.
Thank you for your feedback. We apologise for the disruption to your booking. Our records show you were contacted regarding a schedule change and the new date was accepted at the time; however, we understand the inconvenience caused when you arrived on the original date. We hope your family enjoyed the Lunch Cruise and appreciate your patience. Kind regards
