Worth it for the Bushtucker alone - Nothing but praise for this. Probably the best tasting food on the coast. Nice cruisy tour with indigenous history and music a bonus. Friendly young team.

Great experience and great value - An great experience. From the wonderful boat to the background of an indigenous perspective of Mooloolaba, to great indegenous influenced food, and some indigenous music. It couldn't get any better. And yet at such a good price. We loved it.

Perfect day out - Such a wonderful experience! The boat was a stunningly restored vessel perfect to cruise around the waterways while listening to stories celebrating the Indigenous history of the area & tucking down on some delicious canapes & cocktails made using local native ingredients & enjoying the beautiful music & didgeridoo. Highly recommend!!

Best birthday treat ! - When I wanted a little treat to kick off my birthday weekend, the Saltwater Bushtucker cruise had real appeal as we've done a few similar day trip cruises on the Sunshine Coast and also in South Australia. Raising my First Nations granddaughter for the past 10 years and with my kids and grandies being Wiradjuri nation, this seemed like a wonderful way to connect with coastal culture as well as enjoy something a little special. The ketch is a historic treasure in itself and we had a perfect day for it as well. The crew - Simon, the captain, also a very fair yidaki (didgeridu) player, along with Nathan, who shared stories and songs from his own Torres Strait nation, and Laurence, the chef extraordinaire, made this a sensational experience. The staff throughout the booking process online and in person on the day were also thoroughly professional and friendly - and the shop which stocks a wide variety of authentic First Nations products is a treasure trove. This was a great choice and I would recommend for anyone - whether visitors to the coast or residents who are looking for a pleasant outing. Thanks Saltwater for an exceptional day out!
