Mudjimba Island Ocean Tour by Swan Boat Hire

Off the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, Swan Boat Hire offers a hands-on ocean adventure that stretches a bold 40 kilometers to the tranquil Mudjimba Island, sometimes called Old Women Island. This trip is not just a ride; it’s an advanced ocean navigation experience tailored for riders with a solid skill foundation. Set out from Maroochydore's waterfront and cut through the crystal-clear waters of the Maroochy River mouth, where the ocean melds with sweeping riverbanks dotted by untouched islands.

Guided by seasoned instructors, participants refine their ocean riding techniques while surrounded by vibrant marine ecosystems. Early on, riders cross the river’s bar and enter the Coral Sea, unlocking panoramic ocean and hinterland views spanning Noosa Heads northward, Cape Moreton to the south, and the iconic Glasshouse Mountains inland. The stretch to Mudjimba Island reveals an underwater world framed by coral reefs, home to sea turtles, schools of tropical fish, and the occasional passing pod of dolphins or migrating whales depending on seasonality.

Mudjimba Island itself offers a pause from the rush, a chance to observe abundant seabirds and marine life amidst untouched beaches and rocky outcrops. Complimentary photos by guides ensure memories are captured without distraction. After soaking in the coastal wilderness, riders return via the sheltered Chambers Island channel to Maroochydore, completing a hybrid marine tour and technical ocean riding session.

Swan Boat Hire's ocean tour stands out for blending the Sunshine Coast’s spectacular natural features with expert instruction, making it a unique option for thrill-seekers who want more than casual watersports.
