Superb water trip in noosa

We had an absolutely superb experience and would 100% do this cruise again. There was a small mix-up with our original booking, which unfortunately meant we turned up on the day without realising there had been an issue. What impressed us was how brilliantly the team dealt with it. They were incredibly apologetic, rebooked us onto the Thursday cruise and really went out of their way to look after us. We were given a fantastic table with a beautiful outlook over the river, perfectly positioned for spotting everything, with binoculars available. They also very kindly offered us a complimentary drink as part of their apology. The cruise itself was brilliant. The commentary was interesting and informative without being overdone, and the scenery along the Noosa River was beautiful, particularly as the sun started to go down. But one of the unexpected highlights for us was that it was almost like having a floating bar on the Noosa River. There's a proper, fully stocked bar on board, the prices are incredibly reasonable, and Gail behind the bar was fantastic. We were told she's been working on the boat for something like 25 years, and she was absolutely lovely. So for $35 each, you're spending an hour and a half cruising up and down the Noosa River, having a drink from a proper bar, listening to some great commentary, seeing everything along the river and finishing with a beautiful sunset. What's not to love? Fantastic value, great fun and a really lovely way to spend an evening in Noosa. We'd absolutely do it again.

Lovely little cruise round the Noosa river

First time aboard a sunset cruise in Noosa, was a lovely clear evening. Get there early for a good seat, but as a solo traveller , I didn’t mind where I sat. Got a good view of the sunset, great choice of alcohol / soft drinks available on board. Captain did a nice commentary about the area too.

Great experience

Right from the welcome from the skipper to the end it was a great experience. The information given to us on the journey really helps us understand the river system. Thank you for a very enjoyable time.

The highlight of our stay in Noosa

A family run business who care about the area and the environment. A fantastic experience on the Noosa Queen. Epic tunes playing whilst the owner/captain shared his knowledge of the area/flora/fauna and his great sense of humour. The sunset was stunning!! I would highly recommend and I personally will be back to do it all again.

The perfect way to view the sunset!

This was an absolutely fabulous experience. The commentary along the way was lighthearted, fun and informative, especially with regard to the wildlife you were seeing. The sunset with time perfectly. The nibbles platter was just enough for two and we topped it off with an Aperol spritz. The staff and captain were professional and so welcoming. It was value for money and a beautiful way to see Noosa from the water. I highly recommend this trip.
