The Noosa Ferry runs the length of the Noosa River seven days a week, with seven stops between Noosa Marina at Tewantin and Hastings Street. The sunset cruise is the one worth planning around. The signature version sails aboard Stillwater, which runs on electric propulsion — so the cruise is close to silent, with lounge seating and a drink on arrival. There is also a bring-your-own sunset option if you would rather organise your own. Both drift the scenic stretches of the river through golden hour. The ferry doubles as a genuinely useful way to get around Noosa, and it is a good way to arrive at the waterfront restaurants at Noosa Marina, along Gympie Terrace at Noosaville, at Quamby Place, or in Hastings Street. Departures are from Noosa Marina, 2 Parkyn Court, Tewantin.
