Whale Watching Sunshine Coast – Sailing from Mooloolaba Tour Reviews 

We’ve sailed with Set Sail Cruises on a few different occasions now, and every experience has been exceptional! Most recently, we celebrated a birthday onboard and had an absolute blast. The crew were warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make the day special. The boat itself is stunning — spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up with bean bags, overwater nets, and a shaded seating area. We love the relaxed BYO setup, and it’s such great value for money. A huge thank you to the team for yet another memorable day — our friends and guests were so impressed. We’ll definitely be back!
