Noosa River Sunset Cruise

This is a relaxed evening cruise along the Noosa River, with sunset views, light local commentary and a licensed bar onboard. It’s a straightforward way to get out on the water without committing to a big tour, and the route takes in some of the river’s best-known sights as the light starts to change. If you’re after an easy social outing in Noosa, it suits couples, small groups and solo travellers alike.

The cruise departs from Noosa Marina and heads along the river past Makepeace Island and the North Shore ferry crossing, continuing towards Lake Cooroibah. Along the way, the crew shares a few Noosa stories and keeps things casual with music onboard. Sunset is the main event, but you may also spot native birdlife and, if you’re lucky, kangaroos along the shoreline. Drinks are available to buy from the fully licensed bar. The trip is suitable for all fitness levels, with public transport nearby, and prams or strollers can be accommodated.
