Great experience! The crew were amazing! Jose did a fantastic job. My daughter had a blast, and getting a Captain certificate gave her the biggest smile. Have recommended the experience to friends. Great tour, loved the river tour part the most. And the history and knowledge of the area was great. Touching on the wildlife and sealife in the area.

Our Aquaduck experience was fabulous. Easy to book on line and we thought very good value. (Seniors). It was fun and very informative, especially around the waterways. Loved that quite a few children got to drive on the water as well. Great experience for them. Lucky to have perfect weather too.

  • Your Sunshine Coast tour on the Aquaduck will take you through the top attractions of the Sunshine Coast. The Aquaduck is the original amphibious tour of Australia, and has been operating on the Sunshine Coast since 1996, with more than 2.2 million satisfied customers! The experience will start with a tour on land. Some of the highlights of the land tour include the Esplanade, right next to Surfers Paradise Beach, Sunshine Strip, Mooloolaba Beach, and more. You will then splash right into the water, as your vehicle transforms into a cruise ship. Catch views of the diverse sea life along the coast, and discover the beauty of the Mooloolah River. Your onboard tour guide will offer some interesting live commentary about the geography, culture, and sights of the Mooloolaba River.

    The Sunshine Coast Harbor is bustling with trawlers and ships before you make your way to the dense network of canals and waterways through the city. Here, you can see some of the mega-mansions of the rich and famous lining up along the waterfront. If you have kids in your group, they can get a chance to captain the Aquaduck!
