We have been on the Thursday sunset cruise several times. It is without doubt the best value for money entertainment on the coast. Kate & Dennis are wonderful hosts. Great music, cold drinks, cheese platters and a sunset on the Maroochy river. Fabulous.

I recently went on Cruise Maroochy's Eco Cruise and I had a brilliant time! The hosts were lovely and extremely informative about the area and its surroundings as we cruised up the Maroochy River. Walking through the wetlands was a definite highlight, crab spotting was a lot of fun. Followed by an amazing BBQ back on board the cruise to return us home.
