Nice way to spend a couple of hours. The commentary was very interesting and the food was great. Nice way to see parts of Mooloolaba that you wouldn't normally see. All the staff on board were really nice and very friendly.
Found this cruise to be incredibly relaxing. The food was wonderful and learning about the cultural importance of it made it even better. The service was great. Totally recommend.
Was an amazing time the skipper and hostess were just both great. Food and drinks amazing. Would highly recommend and a must do.
The tour was super relaxing, enjoyable and insightful. Simon, our captain, was fantastic, his knowledge, wisdom, and storytelling made the experience both engaging and educational. It was fascinating to learn about the river, local culture, foraging and the importance of caring for Country through his unique perspective. The food was super fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. I especially loved that each course came with a story explaining its origins, cultural significance, and sustainable sourcing in different seasons. It added so much depth to the dining experience and really showcased the connection between food, people, and the environment.
Excellent food, great commentary, wonderful cruise. Highly recommended.
Fantastic few hours. Simon was informative, friendly and really interesting. The food was exceptional. The whole crew were fabulous. Highly recommend
This was such a nice time on an absolutely stunning day. A tasty welcome drink, we followed up with a selection of of unique cocktails
Fantastic experience. Utterly relaxing and informative at the same time. Could have stayed all day just drifting along and enjoying everything. The Chilli Margarita cocktail is a must!
This was an absolutely grand time, the food and drinks were delicious (try the chili marg if you get the chance!) and the tour people were lovely. I enjoyed the playlist they had on, and when they were talking it was very informative. For the price it was well worth it. The boat too was very clean and quaint, but I’d bring a hat and sunglasses for sure in case you get stuck in the sun for a part of the cruise. This is a very unique and well done experience to try out!
A thoroughly enjoyable experience. The boat trip takes you along the Mooloola River and into adjacent canals. Some amazing waterfront homes to see. The staff were brilliant- the skipper explained all about the bushtucker (and not in a preachy way). The entire crew were very friendly and seemed genuinely pleased to serve us. The food was superb- not a huge amount but adequate. Very tasty and unique. We were also blessed with a magical sunny day. Five stars!
