Australia · SUNSET CRUISES IN NOOSA & SUNSHINE COAST
This is the list you would text a mate who lands on Friday: 5 sunset cruises in Noosa & Sunshine Coast that hold their price, each with the traveller verdict and the one thing worth knowing beforehand.
Spend 90 minutes cruising Mooloolaba Harbour, the river mouth, fish markets, and Minyama canals. Order fresh seafood picked up during the cruise, then enjoy cocktails, wine, or beer as guides such as Ollie share local stories and point out Millionaires Row.
“Thoroughly enjoy the cruise & our drinks guy was very entertaining”
Set out from Wharf Mooloolaba for a 90-minute evening cruise along the river, canals, harbour, and bay. You’ll hear local commentary, see fishing boats and pilot vessels, and watch the sun go down from the water. Fresh seafood, drinks, and table service are available for an additional cost. Groups are limited to 12 people.
“Great hosts and great set up. Seafood was unreal! The tour of the area was great aswell and the bar service was quick.”
Cruise from Noosaville through Woods Bay, Weyba Creek, the river mouth, and Noosa Sound Canals as the sun drops. Expect live commentary in English, easygoing music, wildlife, waterfront homes, and a licensed bar. Guides including Dave, Santi, Santos, Jack, and Alec have been praised for local stories and humor. Bring snacks and sunscreen.
“The Noosa River sunset cruise was an amazing experience. Exceptional views and Captain Dave was wonderful — extremely friendly, funny and knowledgeable about the region. Everything from realestate to local history, bird and plant life. Highly recommend this tour.”
Spend about two hours aboard a historic vessel cruising Mooloolaba’s calm canals and river mouth at sunset. Enjoy a grazing box with local meats, cheeses, nuts, and crackers, plus one complimentary cocktail. Live music, including performances by Essi, gives the ride an easygoing evening feel. A licensed bar sells more drinks.
“Absolutely loved it … great drinks snacks and fun atmosphere… great music and entertainment… thank you”
Board Saltwater, a heritage-listed vessel at The Wharf Mooloolaba, for a two-hour evening cruise with live acoustic music, welcome champagne or beer, native-botanical cocktails, and an individual grazing box. Simon and the crew are known for friendly service, while the gentle canal route suits couples, friends, and families.
“Everything about this activity was brilliant from start to finish”
Pick a reef, a cellar door or a coast road.
