Great value amazing river cruise - Excellent value seafood lunch cruise. Great views of the high value homes on the river. Very good and funny commentary by the captain and excellent drinks service by the crew member. Nice seafood lunch as part of the cruise cost. Was good to learn about the Noosa River and surrounds. Very well worth while going on this cruise while you are in Noosa. The weather was beautiful and the views amazing.

Grand Old Lady doesn't disappoint! - I've had the pleasure of doing a number of cruises on this grand old lady over the years and she never fails to impress. Our most recent cruise was to celebrate another trip around the sun and I can think of no better way to spend a birthday. We chose the Seafood Lunch Cruise and the food was excellent. Captain Dan and his crew offer friendly and efficient service accompanied by an informative commentary. Bar prices are affordable and complimentary bottles of water are available to all passengers. Despite her age the Noosa Queen is a much loved vessel and this is evident in how beautifully looked after she is. I've no doubt she'll be around for many years to come. This is a lovely and relaxing way to experience the beauty of the Noosa River and I can't recommend it highly enough. This will not be my last Noosa Queen Experience.

Wonderful day - We had such a fabulous two hour experience for our seafood lunch cruise on the Noosa Queen. We did the sunset one about 5/6 years ago and loved that too. Now, new owner Dan was terrific as was his crew, Gaile - we hit it off straight away. There were only Kysh and I plus a couple with two kids - and Dan's two girls (younger one, hilarious, a story to tell there) plus his visiting m-i-l so it was nice and personal. We saw lots of interesting things: possies of pelicans, a huge eagle's nest that has been expanded each year for almost a decade with a head popping up every now and then, a hawk soaring over, a kite's nest and heard them, two rays- a smaller one and a huge tiger ray. The water was so clear you could see to the sandy bottom of the river and the food was delish. I had the best oysters I've had for a long time and Kysh had grilled salmon and chips which was also delish. Next time we're going to do the eco-cruise. I can highly recommend it - it was relaxing and friendly, excellent attention to detail and good people.

Experienced trip owners, but could still improve. Hope they do. - It was all a bit hurried and mildly hectic. Commentary was ok in part, but more emphasis was on the shoreside property prices we passed by. The food description was advertised as “delicious”, it’s not so delicious. The boat is spacious enough and with good deck access for sightseeing.
