What people are saying about Sunshine Coast

It's worth the detour

Very good day at the castle... The staff is smiling and welcoming despite the heat wave!! Too bad there was no air conditioning! And I think it would be good to give headphones with the small radios... It's not practical to hold them in your hand and you can't always hear well! Otherwise I recommend!!

We are here on holiday from Sydney with family from NZ - Paul our skipper was fantastic- a great way to find out about the area - so informative but fun also - we would absolutely recommend the cruise to anyone visiting the Sunshine Coast - so lovely to be on the water - it was excellent

We had a very nice boat trip through the everglades. Lovely scenery throughout. The skipper was really nice and informative. We had a short stop in the shade and were served with drinks on the boat

My wife and I had the best 1.5 hour trip. Rod the skipper was so informative about the whole place and Kerry made sure we didn’t go thirsty.

Very smooth operation and a tour guide full of knowledge Very enjoyable afternoon
