About this experience

As the setting sun slowly slips behind the majestic Blackall Mountain Range to the west of Mooloolaba you will be cruising comfortably through the waterways onboard the Mooloolaba Canal Cruise.

Your Skipper will provide an entertaining commentary while the glass fronted waterside mansions reflect the setting sun as you discover Mooloolaba from the water.

We'll see all of the highlights the area has to offer including Steve Irwin's famous vessel Croc One, Mooloolah Island, Minyama Island, the Kawana Canal System as well as La Balsa Park, a local favourite. Then out to the river heads where we turn the boat around to take in the breathtaking views of the coastline from Mooloolaba Beach right up to Noosa Heads.

You can take the helm and drive the boat along side our friendly skipper or simply relax with a drink while you cruise in style through the Mooloolaba waterways enjoying the spectacular Mooloolaba sky. One of the best hours you'll spend in Mooloolaba.

Detailed itinerary

As the setting sun slowly slips behind the majestic Blackall Mountain Range to the west of Mooloolaba, you will be cruising comfortably through the waterways on MV Mudjimba as the nocturnal wildlife begins to appear and bird calls herald the evening.

The skipper provides an entertaining commentary on this cruise while the glass-fronted waterside mansions reflect the setting sun as you observe the fishing boats returning to the harbor with their fresh catch of prawns, crabs, and fish that has made Mooloolaba famous for its seafood.
We have a fully licensed onboard bar serving a range of beer, wines, and spirits, as well as non-alcohol beverages and snacks. So why not enjoy sunset drinks on board and then stay for dinner at one of the many fabulous restaurants at the Wharf?
