Highly recommended sunset cruise. The boat navigates the inner river, with beautiful scenery on both banks. It's a bit windy, but not enough to cause seasickness; wear a thicker windbreaker if you're sensitive to the cold. The cruise includes a complimentary glass of champagne or beer and a snack box. There's also a restroom on board. The atmosphere is great, enjoying music and sipping champagne.

While the aquarium is smaller in size, it offers many interactive experiences such as touching starfish and observing various marine creatures, including penguins, up close. The tanks are mainly square-shaped, making them easy to view, and there are also many unobstructed areas for looking down at the creatures, making it an ideal experience.

We visited the TreeTop Challenge on the Sunshine Coast yesterday and booked our tickets through Klook. The entire experience was amazing and seamless from beginning to end. The location is gorgeous, surrounded by towering trees and fresh air. The weather was perfect, which made the adventure even more enjoyable. The staff and coaches were outstanding—professional, patient, and always focused on safety. Their encouragement gave us the confidence to tackle every challenge. The course itself was thrilling, with a variety of obstacles and zip lines. It was a great opportunity to push our limits, conquer our fears, and enjoy the excitement of soaring through the forest. Our kids loved it and felt so proud after completing each section. It was not only fun but also a chance for them to build confidence and courage. Overall, it was a fantastic family experience, and booking through Klook made everything easy. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Sunshine Coast!

Really enjoyed the small towns and markets along the way. Overall, it's great, but the stops at each location are a bit short, making me worry about having enough time to get to the next place. Noosa Beach is a truly stunning beach, highly recommend checking it out!
