Exhilarating trip led by attentive owner Christian - As 3 ladies in their sixties we were concerned about getting on and off the boat. Christian assured us that he would make sure we were able to enjoy the experience and he did! Rest assured this trip is not just for the young! We loved it and what's more we saw dolphins! Fab!

A brilliant scenic tour with the bonus of dolphins! - Could not recommend this tour enough! We travelled with my partners grandmother and Christian could not have been more accomodating and courteous. Seeing dolphins was a bonus as just the tour was a great day out to see Noosa and the Sunshine Coast from a different side and giving us so many tips, advice and information on the area Thank you so much Christian and your crew for a great morning!

Fun, informative and great value. - Christian was friendly, informative and a great sailor. Despite the choppy conditions, he did everything possible to ensure all the passengers enjoyed the experience and we even saw a dolphin.

Recommend this fun experience - A nice, fun way to see the area down the river and out onto the ocean. We were lucky to see a pod of dolphins. Beautiful scenery all the way around from Tewantin Marina to Sunshine Beach. The vessel was a little rocky when we stopped to look at the dolphins and some other spots - glad I took Travacalm as I have a tendency to get seasick easily - would suggest you do the same if you’re that way inclined. This would not stop me from doing it again - money well spent on a fun experience.

Absolutely awesome - The ocean rider adventure was awesome. Absolutely worth the money. We have a son with special needs and even though it took a while for him to gain the confidence and trust in stepping unto the ocean rider, he loved the experience of cruising and then speed boating through the ocean. Beautiful scenery, observed dolphins and their cubs, great way to see the coastline and the beautiful beaches on offer. Everyone in our group, family and friends were highly impressed with this tourist activity. It does go fast in the ocean and over the waves, so be aware if you are fragile it might not be for you.
