Good little ride for kids but need help going in with pram. Staff was very helpful, make sure you there early as it's hard to find the car park there.

I booked the Original 1-Hour Mooloolaba Canal Cruise when I was on holidays with my mother at Mooloolaba. It was a relaxing boat ride on a sunny Sunday where we got to see the homes of some Sunshine Coast celebrities. The on-board commentary was engaging and the customer service was of a high standard. I’d recommend this as a fun, easy activity to do at Mooloolaba for families and couples.
