    What a fun way to spend an hour! We did the 11am tour and it was a fun time with lots of sights to see. The captain let whomever wished take a turn at the wheel (while he watched carefully of course). Good conversations with the crew and other passengers, definitely recommend!

  • A must for tourists and locals.

    This is a great value for money and great for locals and visitors. Very relaxing boat trip around Mooloolaba canals and the skipper was very friendly and told lots of funny interesting stories about the properties on the canal and the canal itself. I would highly recommend this trip.
