Cruising on the canal - Really enjoyed our trip up the river and hearing a bit of information on the houses and history of the area. The boat is quaint, staff friendly and it’s a nice thing to do with tourists. I might go back and do the sunset cruise.

Lovely one hour cruise on the Mooloolaba waterways - It was such a nice cruise, the pilot was such a nice friendly guy, with a great running commentary on everything we saw. And the young hostess Nina was also very good and friendly. I would thoroughly recommend this cruise to anyone. As an aside, they asked us to change our booking from the Sunset cruise, to the 1pm cruise ( the weather had suddenly turned cold), and to compensate us we were each offered a free drink, which we gratefully accepted.

Exceptional cruise & creperie deal. - Excellent cruise on the 11a.m on Tuesday the commentary was very good as was on the board service we enjoyed our drinks on a leisurely cruise. The Cruise & Crepes must be the best deal in Mooloolaba the Galettes & French Rose at Flo's creperie was exceptional. A great double act.
