Frequently Asked Questions
It doesn't dock: the anchorage lies about a kilometre and a half offshore, and a fifteen-minute tender lands passengers at The Wharf Mooloolaba, a set of pontoons and terraces on the Mooloolah River.
No, everything that matters is within walking distance of the landing: the Wharf, the aquarium, the main beach, the Esplanade and the Spit walk. Local volunteers greet passengers on arrival, maps and smiles included.
Restaurants, cafés and small shops around a busy marina. Trawlers still unload their catch here: nothing stops you ordering a cone of fresh prawns to eat facing the masts. River cruises also leave from these pontoons.
The aquarium a short walk from the pontoons, across three levels and eleven themed zones. Opened in 1989 as UnderWater World, it features an 80-metre underwater tunnel with sharks and rays overhead, jellyfish tanks and resident seals. The entrance sits literally on the way back to the tender.
Yes. The main beach faces north and is patrolled by lifesavers, giving gentler swimming than many beaches in the region. Lifesavers mark the safe zone with red and yellow flags: swim between them.
The Wharf and a cone of prawns, the SEA LIFE aquarium, the main beach and the Esplanade under the Norfolk pines, then the Spit walk. Nothing to arrange, and the tender is minutes away.
A path around the sand spit that separates the estuary from the ocean, shared by anglers, walkers and joggers facing the boats crossing the bar. Allow about thirty minutes return from the pontoons, with no difficulty at all.
Very much so. The aquarium, patrolled swimming, the ice-cream counters along the Esplanade and the pelicans perched on the streetlights keep children busy with no transport and no long walk.
Hat, sunscreen and a water bottle, even under cloud: the Queensland sun is unforgiving. Swimsuit and towel cover the rest, since the day revolves around the beach.
No, and it makes no secret of it: Mooloolaba has no famous landmark and no old fort. The offer is simpler — an Australian seaside day, between river, beach and seafood landed that morning.
