Discover the Heart of Mooloolaba

Whether you're planning a relaxing coastal escape, a romantic weekend away, or an unforgettable family holiday, the Sunshine Coast offers far more than beautiful beaches. From pristine waterways and award-winning dining to charming hinterland villages and authentic cultural experiences, there's something here for every traveller.

If you're staying in Mooloolaba, you're perfectly positioned to experience the very best the region has to offer.

Start Your Holiday in the Heart of Mooloolaba

Mooloolaba has become one of Australia's favourite coastal destinations...and for good reason. Spend your mornings walking along The Esplanade, browsing boutique shops, enjoying beachfront cafés or relaxing on the white sands of Mooloolaba Beach.

When you're ready to experience something truly unique, step aboard Saltwater Eco Tours—an award-winning, locally owned business offering authentic experiences found nowhere else on the Sunshine Coast.

Our cruises take guests beyond sightseeing, connecting you with Australia's Indigenous culture, local wildlife, native bush foods and the stunning waterways of the Mooloolah River.

A Family Holiday Experience They'll Remember

Looking for family-friendly activities on the Sunshine Coast?

Our Bushtucker Cruise is one of the region's most unique family experiences.

Perfect for visitors of all ages, you'll discover native Australian ingredients, hear local stories,  and learn about the rich cultural history of the area—all while cruising the calm waters surrounding Mooloolaba.

Children love discovering native flavours, while adults enjoy slowing down and experiencing the Sunshine Coast from a completely different perspective.

It's educational, interactive and genuinely memorable - without feeling like a classroom.

Planning a Romantic Getaway?

The Sunshine Coast is one of Queensland's most romantic destinations, and nothing compares to watching the sun disappear behind the Glass House Mountains from the water.

Our Sunset Cruise offers the perfect date night or couples' experience.

Enjoy local drinks, delicious grazing platters, live acoustic music on selected evenings and spectacular golden-hour views as the river comes alive at sunset.

Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, honeymoon, babymoon or simply escaping together for the weekend, it's an unforgettable way to spend an evening in Mooloolaba.

Stay Close to the Action

One of the best things about visiting Mooloolaba is that everything is within easy walking distance.

Accommodation options like Avani Mooloolaba Beach Hotel place you just moments from restaurants, beaches, shopping and Saltwater Eco Tours' departure point.

Wake up with ocean views, spend the day exploring the coastline, then finish with an authentic cultural cruise before dinner along the Esplanade.

It's the perfect holiday without needing to drive.

Explore Beyond the Coast

If you're staying in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Saltwater Eco Tours is an easy day trip.

Just around 30 minutes from Montville and Maleny, you can combine the cool mountain air with a relaxing afternoon on the water.

Many visitors spend the morning exploring artisan galleries, rainforest walks and local wineries before heading down to Mooloolaba for a cruise and waterfront dinner.

It truly gives you the best of both worlds—the lush hinterland and the beautiful coastline—all in one day.
