Mooloolaba River Cruise on a Heritage Vessel

This is a laid-back one-hour river cruise aboard Spray of the Coral Coast, a century-old heritage-listed vessel. It’s less about adrenaline and more about seeing Mooloolaba from the water while hearing a bit of local history along the way. If you want an easy sightseeing option that doesn’t take up your whole day, this is a straightforward pick.

You’ll board the historic vessel and head out for a gentle cruise along the river. Commentary covers local history, La Balsa, working fishing trawlers, river ecosystems and the continuing traditions of First Nations people. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, and there’s a licensed bar onboard if you want to grab a drink during the trip.
