Our Mooloolaba Cruises depart from The Wharf Mooloolaba. The exact address is 123 Parkyn Parade Mooloolaba, QLD, 4557. If you head through the Wharf complex towards the water, you will see our beautiful vessel the M.V.Mudjimba (located behind Rice Boi restaurant).
Your Skipper will head up to the central area from 15 minutes before your cruise to check you in and escort you onboard. We ALWAYS try to contact guests who do not arrive by the time the cruise is about to depart.
There is a carpark at The Wharf Mooloolaba offering 4 hours free parking, but during peak periods it gets full very quickly. It is situated where The Wharf and Sea Life buildings are which can be accessed from the River Esplanade, or Parkyn Parade. There is also time limited parking on the surrounding streets. There is also a multistorey paid parking facility with 700 car spaces located 7 First Avenue, Mooloolaba. It is approximately 600 metres from The Wharf.
Unfortunately, at this point there is not. Translink operates public bus services to and from Mooloolaba. You can visit their website for timetables and costs.
We operate our cruises 7 days a week! 11am, 1pm, 2:30pm and a sunset cruise!
