Highly recommend. From the amazing admin support through the booking process to the host and captain of the vessel – the service provided was above and beyond. We booked for a private charter for a party, and it was so much fun. The cruise around the canals itself was beautiful. Thank you
My group of 10 friends hired the M.V. Mudjimba for a private sunset cruise this past weekend and it was such a great evening! The restored timber boat itself is so cute and unique, and the staff were all super friendly. We are very happy we chose Mooloolaba Canal Cruise!
We took a private 2hr sunset cruise with small group to celebrate birthday. The staff were extremely friendly & helpful from the first phone call. The ‘Mudjimba’ was so clean and well presented. We had an amazing time cruising the river & canals, spectacular sunset and such a friendly & relaxed atmosphere. Thank you for an unforgettable night!
