What our guests are saying

Step aboard and immerse yourself in the beauty of Noosa’s waterways.

Gliding silently along the river on the Stillwater was the most peaceful experience—we felt completely immersed in Noosa’s natural beauty. A truly unforgettable way to explore!

Olivia M

Did the return ferry from Hastings St to Noosa marina? Easy to book tickets and access the wharf. Staff were all very friendly and the boat was easy to access both levels once on board. The commentary is interesting but not too much. Background music adds to the trip. Scenery is wonderful! Bonus is from the marina you can buy a drink to have on board on the way back!

Caroline D

Such a great outing. Easy to book and easy to find. We did 2 of their tours as the first was so interesting. A great way to get a different view of Noosa, and the amazing homes along the waterway. Also saw lots of bird life. The skipper was very informative.

Libby K

Brilliant, just brilliant! During this holiday in Noosaville, we used the ferry on more frequently than on previous visits. It really is such a great resource for the tourist. For the first time, we bought a day pass and boy, do you get value for money. We spent time in both Noosa (for a swim) and Tewantin for food and coffee, back to the hotel to change, lunch in Noosaville and then later in the day for the final two trips experiencing the glorious sunset.
