Saltwater Eco tours

Saltwater Eco Tours was sensational, not only were we cruising on a heritage vessel but it's own and run by a group of indigenous youngsters who take pride in their work and Australian culture.
We had an amazing time, drinks flowed endlessly, the ambience was relaxing with a talented musician entertaining us. Definitely recommend it taking a cruise.

Excellent experience! This was a very relaxing and enjoyable tour. They catered nicely for vegans! The live music on board was excellent and perfectly suited the tour. There was a really nice vibe on board. The boat is beautifully restored and had ample comfortable seating.

We had the best time on the Sunset Cruise with live music, highly recommend. The smooth water made sailing so seem less and enjoyable with my friends. The music was soft and perfect, as was the complimented champers & glaze platter

Just disembarked the cruise, what a fantastic time.
Staff were fantastic, commenty was and the food was to die for.
Highly recommended

I took my partner on a surprise sunset tour. It was recommended by the lovely man on the prawn star boat when we were having lunch. My partner was suitably surprised and we had an awesome time. The live music was fabulous as were the drinks served in good time and the snack box was fresh and delicious. A must do for any tourist coming to Mooloolaba. You get an awesome look at the stunning homes on the canals. Well run and well priced. Thank you for helping me show him a good time! He couldn’t stop smiling! Of course that was probably because I was with him

Great cruise exploring local and indigenous cultures with very tasty food (native ingredients), hosted by the amazing skipper Simon with his equally amazing crew, highly recommended.

We enjoyed a lovely bush food & seafood cruise today for our 16th wedding anniversary. Beautiful boat, perfect weather, stunning views, lovely staff & delicious food. Very relaxing, just what we needed! And a real treat at the end when the skipper played the didgeridoo!

Oh my goodness. What an experience! Me and my partner booked this just to see Pat Tierney live, but boy were we blown away by the whole experience. It was so relaxing, the cruise was lovely through the canal and the staff were amazing! Our favourite cocktails were chilli margaritas. Absolute experience! Pat Tierney blew us away live and it made the whole thing such a memory for us. Highly recommend and will be sharing this with our family and friends! Thanks crew!

Really enjoyed our sunset cruise with live music.couldn't fault a thing! Staff were awesome and the food and cocktails were delicious! Pat Tierney was amazing. We can definitely recommend this experience

Wonderful two hours on the Mooloolaba canal system on a 115 year old boat. Learned about local wildlife and stories with the relaxed and friendly team on board. Served delicious fresh, healthy, tasty local food with a traditional twist. A lovely way to spend time and support local.

Such a wonderful and delicious experience! Would highly recommend for anyone (including families!) wanting a nice, relaxing waterway cruise while enjoying yummy food and drink. 10/10

Fabulous cruise thank u to Captain Simon and your crew what a beautiful boat, cocktails, great cheese snack box, little bit of story time, and soulful music by local guitarists my 2nd trip and I will be back

One of the best experiences I’ve ever done! Absolutely stoked that I got to appreciate sea country from the gorgeous “spray of the coral coast”. The crew was great and made it a very special memory.

What a great experience. Staff were so polite, patient but professional. Food was fresh and tasty with lots of indigenous elements to make it even better. Yarns with Aunty about the history and culture if the river were passionate and enlightening. We had the best day and would highly recommend this experience.

We went on the Sunday summer afternoon tour and was thoroughly impressed with the whole experience. Simon led us through an informative introduction on the boats history, which was really interesting, before setting off on a beautiful tour around the canals. The welcome drink was lovely, and the grazing box was delicious with a great range of food. The drink selection was great as well, with something for everyone.
We had Katie Milae as the singing entertainment, and she was spectacular. We loved every moment of the afternoon:) x

A great way to relax and be pampered with tasty food and drink for 2 hours. Great crew with onboard Kidaki entertainment on Gubbi Gubbi country. If only a small tax percentage on sales of beautiful homes and boats were paid to the traditional owners, it would change lives.

What a fabulous tour, great experience, learning about our area, whilst listening to live music and sipping champagne. AMAZING

Amazing experince. Beautiful staff, places and interesting information from the passionate captain.

The Saltwater cruises are simply amazing. We’ve been on board 4 times now over the last few years and have gifted many more to friends and family for birthdays etc. The crew are super friendly, approachable and knowledgeable, the vessel has been beautifully restored and the cruise is culturally and environmentally respectful. Being on board is a wonderful experience from start to finish and the locally sourced, fresh & well thought out food is just the icing on the cake. The owner/skipper Simon even does a bit of Jidaki (didgeridoo) playing. Put simply, it ticks all the boxes. Do yourself a favour and jump aboard sooner rather than later for a trip you won’t forget

Such a beautiful way to spend a couple of hours! I was gifted a ticket and then paid it forward so I could share the experience with my bestie and we decided to wait until summer and the warmer weather.and it was well worth the wait. Loved the complimentary drink and grazing box.and the cocktail we paid for was 5 *****.

Will definitely be booking again and taking my family.
