There are several cruise experiences to choose from, and private charters are also available for special events and occasions.

If you’re a seafood lover, upgrade your evening cruise to the Bribie Seafood Sunset Cruise which includes a share plate of Asian-inspired seafood for two guests. Indulge in fresh local prawns, Moreton Bay bug and local sand crab tartlets to complement your peaceful journey across the Pumicestone Passage. As you sail, keep an eye out for native birds and wildlife like mammals and dugongs, which are often seen here.
Golfing Paradise: Pacific Harbour Country Club

A place where weddings and functions are often held, you’ll be captivated by the stunning scenery just a ten-minute drive in your rental car from the mainland, even if golf isn’t your forte. If you are up for a game, the 18-hole course is open to the public and offers social games daily. Visitors are encouraged to join competitions, and if you require some golfing gear to get you started, there’s an onsite golf shop equipped with everything from clubs to clothing. Lessons are available for those wanting to learn to play, and the whole family can enjoy the 18-hole mini golf course. After a day out on the green, or at Pacific Harbour’s TroonFit Gym (where you can enjoy a hit on the tennis courts or a session in the steam room), settle in for a delectable meal at The Deck Bistro. Serving up chefs' classics, burgers and pizzas, bask in the sound of local singers performing live and the view of picturesque scenery as you dine.
