The cruise was absolutely beautiful! It exceeded our expectations. The kids got to steer the boat for quite a generous amount of time. Paul and Georgia were so patient with and friendly. Great knowledge of the area, and great on-board service. We got off, and the kids said it had been the best part of their holiday! Cannot recommend it enough!

Unfortunately, I had ear problems, so I was not always able to hear commentary. But overall great experience.

Lovely relaxing cruise through Mooloolaba canals and river. Friendly and informative service by the on board team. Lovely surprise when we arrived for lunch at The Dock…a table had been booked for us with a great view. Definitely would do again when we next visit.

We hadn’t heard about this cruise until a waitress mentioned it to us at a local cafe during breakfast. It sounded interesting and a nice break from the beach so we immediately sought it out. We weren’t disappointed!

I left a message on the company’s answering service to check whether they had room in the cruise scheduled to depart in 2 hours at 1pm. A quick response and we were booked in seamlessly.

The boat is an old reconditioned ferry with cafe blinds that are open unless it’s pouring with rain so you are right there on the water rather than staring out through glass windows like the other local cruise boats we saw.

We absolutely loved it! Captain Callan and crew member Rain were superb! Informative and attentive. Drinks were served at a reasonable price - soft or alcoholic and simple snacks available.

We cruised the natural and manmade canals listening to Callan’s intermittent (ie not too overbearing) informative and humorous commentary. We learned about which celebrities owned which house, what the current sales figures are compared with 30 years’ ago, the local neighbourhood gossip about who antagonises who and how. It was like listening to a soap opera amongst $25M homes with a bit of history thrown in.

The hour passed very quickly and before we knew it, we were back on dry land with recommendations for great local places to eat during our stay. Highly recommend this as an entertaining break to an afternoon!
