My family came to visit from interstate and it was our first time on the Aquaduck in the Sunny Coast. This was so much fun with quirky Charlotte as our host on board, as well as the lovely Captain Paul who guided each child to steer the boat. We all had a great time in the water and learning about he beautiful houses and history of the area along the way. It was also a cracking afternoon 👌🏽 oh, ...

Dave and the Captain gave us our best first aquaduck experience. They told us alot about the mooloolaba area and history and even quacked plenty of jokes 😃. They also spoke about the wildlife and were very friendly and easy to talk to, and they even had a nice surprise for the kids great job. Happy to support local business. I will Recommend to everyone

The tour was awesome, the grandkids loved it and the got to drive the duck. The guide (Charlotte)and the captain (Casey) done a wonderful job. Thanks for a great time we loved it.

Another fantastic adventure. Have been on the Aquaduck a few times on the Gold Coast but first time on the Sunshine Coast as always so much to see and even if you have been before theres still more to see and learn about. The tours are always very informative and the crew always make it fun. The kids loved being able to steer the boat, the joys of being a child. But look them up take a tide enjoy.

Was a great experience. Being around them so much, never actually been in one. But they gave us a good deal and even let my 4yo drive it in the water. Was cool cause they let a few people drive. Tour was great through town first then headed up the river and then down to the mouth and back. Would recommend!
In summer (Dec–Feb), book a morning tour to avoid the midday sun. In winter, layers work well for the cooler river breeze.
