Take Your Picnic Off-Shore
The perfect evening for friends or lovers, the stylish and spacious 35-foot Tasman Catamaran provides unobstructed views of the picturesque Mooloolah River, heading onto the ocean for a stunning view of the sunset.

Say ‘I love you’ with a Classic Wine & Dine
Asian fusion favourite RB Dining have put together a Valentine’s Day set menu to take the guess work out of ordering from their menu (it’s hard to pick, trust us). Reserve a table and settle in with a four-course tasting menu and surprise dessert by renowned Chef Adriano Zumbo, complemented by a glass of Veuve Clicquot upon arrival to kick off the celebrations.
Stun with Seafood on the Water
Secure your seat upon Coastal Cruises Mooloolaba’s intimate vessel, the Pacific Star, for a sunset cruise and fresh seafood (or cooked if you prefer) all sourced from Mooloolaba Fisheries. Cruise along the canals with commentary from your skipper and sip on your complimentary bottle of bubbles as the sunset sets the most romantic scene you could’ve hoped for. Secure your spot now.
Make Them Feel On Top of the World
The experts at The Booking Box have masterfully curated the Cruise to Air Luxury Tour for two, the perfect package for our over-the-top lovers.
