Very enjoyable and relaxing cruise in a historic ketch around the river mouth and canals of the Mooloolabah area. Informative commentary provided plus a welcome drink and a selection of really delicious native ingredient based canapes. Friendly and helpful crew. Definitely worth doing.

Saltwater Eco Tours was sensational, not only were we cruising on a heritage vessel but it's own and run by a group of indigenous youngsters who take pride in their work and Australian culture. We had an amazing time, drinks flowed endlessly, the ambience was relaxing with a talented musician entertaining us. Definitely recommend it taking a cruise.

I've been on this cruise twice now, both times within the last year. Friendly team, they enlist local live musicians & the food & drinks onboard are delicious as well There is a brief history overview but other than that there isn't any annoying touristy commentary you'd find on some other cruises & you can actually relax & enjoy the cruise

If you’re visiting the Sunshine Coast and specifically the Mooloolaba area, this is one you should have on your checklist. See the beautiful homes on the canal, listen to the education information regarding the environment and aboriginal tradition/culture of the area, and enjoy the delicious bush tucker on offer. The cruise (on a beautifully restored old Tasmanian timber boat) remains within still water - I’m notorious for getting seasick and this was simply delightful. Over the years I’ve been on other cruises of the Mooloolaba river and canal system and this is easily the best so far. Thoroughly recommended.

I booked on with Saltwater Ecotours for the sunset sail with live music and had a fantastic experience. From the second you walk onboard you are greeted with a complementary drink and get to feast your eyes on the beauty of this classic sailboat. As the tour started Simon, the captain, gave an insightful history of the vessel and acknowledgement of the land we ventured on. The music was lovely, food was tasty, sights were gorgeous, and overall it was a perfect way to spend a Friday night! Also-checkout the Ecotours shop in the wharf after for the local ingredients used in the drinks and stunning art pieces by First Nations artists. I'm keen to checkout their other tours as well!
