The Original 1-Hour Mooloolaba Canal Cruise
Description
Mooloolaba Canal Cruise has been operating for over 30 years, and a recent refurbishment has added a modern luxe feel to a much-loved piece of Mooloolaba history. On departure we cruise past the Wharf complex and Marina towards Mooloolah Island which boasts some of Mooloolaba’s most desirable mansions and award winning homes. We continue on past Minyama Island where you will hear all about its famous residents before entering the Kawana Canal system and learning the history of the canal development. We'll also cruise past Steve Irwin's famous vessel Croc One! It’s 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, before we head back through the river where we pass the pilot boats, commercial fishing fleet and observe the wild Osprey Eagles’ nest among other things. There is a fully licensed bar onboard offering both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages as well as snacks.

We had a great time on the one hour canal cruise, it was fun hearing the commentary about different homes, their history and prices and learning about the two man made islands. We had also accompanied our cruise with lunch at TheDock pub and it was very good value and a great lunch. We would definitely recommend this trip.
Wonderful relaxed experience had a stunner of a day and cruising past the luxury homes was awesome. Thanks yo the team on board
A very relaxing cruise along the canals of Mooloolaba. The guide and his assistant were very knowledgeable and we saw the beautiful homes along the canals - some owned by celebrities. One hour was the perfect length for this cruise.
We absolutely loved our cruise. Skipper Kieran and deckhand/hostess Freya were knowledgeable and delightful. A fantastic way to spend an hour in the Sunshine Coast
Great way to spend an hour on the beautiful Mooloola River. Callum the commentator was very informative and the beer wench never let us down. New skipper in trainer handled the vessel like a pro. Unfortunately we had an overcast day but no rain. Callum rolled the clears up we we all had a great view. All in all a reasonably priced way to explore the waterways.
It was a relaxing way to see the mansions and heat the history behind the houses along the canal. The 1 hour cruise was a perfect duration. Will definitely do it again!
Informative and relaxing cruise in a beautiful location.
A very relaxing boat ride along the canal was enjoyed whilst having a glass of wine. Shared interesting information and shared a few laughs. Highly recommended.
My family of 3 Generations absolutely loved this cruise. Hosts were knowledgeable and a delight. 3rd time doing this cruise - I’ll be back with more visitors to the coast a must do. Thank you
This was a very enjoyable hour on Mooloolaba canals in a very nice wooden boat (Mudjimba). The seats are close to the water, which enhanced the enjoyment. The boat crew were fantastic, a great team. The Captain (Kalan?) and his assistant Freya made the cruise delighful, with highly professional and friendly assistance. They are a credit to the boat cruise company, thank you. The commentary was perfect, with sufficient time to just relax with soft background music. Drinks and snacks were available. The atmosphere was relaxed and very enjoyable. One hour cruise was a perfect time. Thank you to Mudjimba and her crew for the delightful time on the water!
