A lovely cruise with a good commentary on history and the people living on the river

The Canal Cruise is a lovely way to learn about the history and residents of Mooloolaba and Minyama, finishing with an opportunity to feel some wild pelicans.

Hi there. Thank you for your review. However, I'm not sure if you have us mixed up with another cruise. Mooloolaba Canal Cruise will be out of operation for 2 weeks in February for "dry dock" yearly maintenance.

Nice change of pace

We had a great time on the cruise today. It's nice to sit back and take it all in and watch the kids have some fun feeding the pelicans & the fish and having a go at being the captain.

HI there, Many thanks for your great review. We've had a few reviews this month highlighting the kids having fun. January is a busy time with the kids during the holidays, so it's important to us that we provide a fun family friendly experience.
