On departure we cruise past the Wharf complex and Marina towards Mooloolah Island which boasts some of Mooloolaba’s most desirable mansions and award winning homes. We continue on past Minyama Island where you will hear all about its famous residents before entering the Kawana Canal system and learning the history of the canal development. We'll also cruise past Steve Irwin's famous vessel Croc One!

5A relaxing, informative & interesting hour.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable morning on the 1hr canal morning cruise, taking in the sights with great commentary while enjoying a chilled glass of wine. Highly recommended!
5Lovely peaceful cruise
A lovely peaceful cruise. The skipper provided a good commentary along the way and the crew member was friendly, helpful and attentive.
5Be aware TA website requires you to change currency manually.
Be aware with Trip Advisor website. I was charged $US$ not $AU, so it made the trip more expensive. Last minute booking so didn't notice I needed to change currency . The trip was brilliant 👍
5Perfect calm sunny weather for canal cruise lunch package
Everything was perfect except the speaker was distorted so we didn’t really get the running commentary even though the volume was turned up via assistant. Our skipper needed to be replaced so was an hour delay but all was good, can’t help these things. Those that couldn’t wait round happily got refunded by Canal Cruise.
