Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our cruise was fantastic! From the time of booking, to the onboarding and cruising with a great commentary from Charlie we had a wonderful experience. It was very professional yet casual.
Of course the perfect evening's weather with a spectacular sunset and then seeing the full moon rising made it even more memorable.

A group of around 35 of us went on a 'Classic Caloundra' cruise which left from the Pelican Waters Jetty. The boat was clean and comfortable, with a viewing area on the top for those of us who wanted to sit outside. The commentary was very interesting and the whole cruise lasted for 1 hour and 20 minutes - excellent value. I would highly recommend this cruise, and I look forward to going on a couple of other cruises that this company run.

Our Sunset Cruise was a really enjoyable experience. So relaxed with great views of the sunset and evening city lights. The knowledgeable guide/Captain gave an informative running commentary. Excellent value for money with the advantage of being able to take own drinks and nibbles if so desired.
I and the rest of my party highly recommend Caloundra Cruises and would certainly cruise again with this Company when we next visit Caloundra.

This cruise was amazing. Sat back enjoyed the beautiful sunset and lucky to have almost a full moon all while enjoying a wine and some nibbles. Information along the way was informative. A special thanks to our skipper Ken who went out of his way to make a special stop to pick up our friends who had been delayed in traffic. Will definitely do this again.
Thank you
Robyn and Mike

It was a great cruise. Ken was friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. He ensured the boat was placed in a good position to view and photograph the sunset which was very impressive. An allround great experience.

We did the classic cruise. It was a really lovely morning out on the water at an extremely reasonable price.
The waves coming via the breakthrough were a bit too intense for us to go through to Caloundra, but that didn’t matter a bit. We went up along for a ways next to Bribie and then tootled up a canal.
The captain’s commentary was just right - he didn’t feel the need to talk the whole time and when he did say something it was interesting.
Recommended.

I did the captains choice Cruise, which was absolutely fantastic. There was so much information about the wildlife and about the history of the area and Ken the Captain was magnificent. My 98-year-old Dad thoroughly enjoyed it. We went out to the breakwater, which was so interesting to see up close. Whether you live in Caloundra or you’re visiting I thoroughly recommend this tour.

We had a lovely morning cruising the waterways of the Pumestone Passage and surrounds. Despite the inclement weather it was still an enjoyable trip and we were nice and snug in the lower deck of the boat. The Captain gave us a very informative guide and pointed out all the interesting land marks and wild life.
Luckily the sun came out and for the last part of the trip were able to take the stairs to the upper deck where the view was spectacular!
We had our three grandchildren with us and they loved it! One of them has asked to do the trip again on his birthday.
The boat is beautifully kept and nice and clean.
Also there is a toilet on board if needed.
We booked online the night before and the process was nice and easy.
Thanks for a great trip and and an entertaining morning for the kids .
Will be back to do the other cruises next time.

Ken & Rose were very accommodating when Bonza changed my flight and went from a day cruise to the sunset cruise the night before thank you soooo much. Well organized with glasses,esky and ice ready for us. We went up top which wasn't as cold as we thought and enjoyed the views until it got dark and then we went downstairs. Very informative but hard to hear upstairs.

The perfect hidden gem in Caloundra!
I’m visiting from the UK with my family and this was the perfect evening activity filled with sunsets, Christmas lights and a great host/dj.
Ken made the trip extremely enjoyable for the whole journey, and even went the extra mile to show us some local Christmas light installations.
Highly recommend for families, friends and couples.
