What an Amazing experience - It was such a privilege for my Family and I to be on this boat with amazing Owners on this heritage listed boat. We were on the Bushtucker Cruise and we enjoyed the knowledge and the passion that every dish had and showing us just a tiny glimpse of the proud original people and owners of Australia, that so generously share their time and knowledge with visitors from all over the world.

Bushtucker Cruise - What a wonderful afternoon cruising the canal on a spectacular old vessel. Simon provided great commentary, the native inspired canapes were absolutely delicious. This is the 2nd cruise I've done with Saltwater Eco Tours and the family thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend.

Amazing cruise and food. - Food was amazing. Music was great. Cruising the canal was smooth (I was a little worried it wouldn’t be). Staff were amazing and very informative. Even my 16 yo enjoyed it. Highly recommend.

Don't miss the Bush Tucker Cruise! - We had a wonderful time on the Bushtucker Cruise. All the staff were amazing. Nathan was a most charming barman, Simon gave fantastic commentary on the history of the ketch as well as details about the various canals and waterways and Nicole was a brilliant skipper. Best of all was the food! It was incredible. The chef made superb canapes which were presented at regular intervals throughout the cruise. We loved all the indigenous flavours. Towards the end of the cruise we had some digeridoo and drum music to finish off an amazing time. We highly recommend the Bushtucker Cruise to anyone coming to the Sunshine Coast or staying in Mooloolaba.

Fantastic und unique indigenous experience! - What a fantastic indigenous experience in Mooloolaba - the Bushtucker Cruise in the canals - an absolute must do experience whilst spending your holiday on the Sunshine Coast. The native-flavour inspired canapes are so delicious and the commentary from Simon and the team is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend visiting their new shop at the Wharf to take home some indigenous and local souvenirs as well as trying one of the great cocktails onboard. I cannot wait to come back for the Sunset Cruise with live music.

Make sure your do this - Wonderful experience. We took our friends who live in UK/France to experience the area, food and culture. Wonderful young man and his crew looked after us. So passionate and professional with a wealth of experience and knowledge. Saw it on Weekender. Will absolutely go again when we have visitors. Great day and highly recommend.

Fantastic in every way - Incredible boat and history, absolutely beautiful food and drinks but most importantly the crew were amazing. Informative, engaging and approachable. I loved spend time onboard and ended up going for drinks with the other passengers after. An absolutely beautiful experience from start to finish with Simon, Nicole and Nathan, and I was lucky enough to purchase a beautiful piece art Art from the tour shop, done by Nathan. Can't recommend this tour enough. It ticks every box and more

A wonderfully delicious lunchtime cruise in Mooloolaba! - We had a wonderful time on the Bushtucker cruise through the canals of Mooloolaba. Every single course we were served was beautifully presented, was a unique combination of ingredients and flavours and tasted amazing! We enjoyed chatting with the owner of the boat about the joys of owning a beautiful old sailboat. We also enjoyed the commentary on the history of the area, local bushtucker foods and the story behind the boat. All in all it was a great day out and we will be back again!
