About Us - Noosa Cruiser Restaurant

The Noosa Cruiser Story.

The Daintree Lady is a 40ft aluminum river boat that came to life in 1986, originally purpose-built for crocodile tours on the Daintree River. She was crafted with adventure in mind, offering passengers a thrilling and unique way to explore the wild beauty of the Daintree region. However, in 2001, this iconic vessel embarked on an incredible journey that would shape her future.

A 21-year-old skipper navigated the Daintree Lady over 2,000km down the East Coast of Australia, eventually bringing her to the calm, beautiful waters of the Noosa River. Since arriving in Noosa, she’s been part of the Noosa Cruiser Restaurant & Bar, where she continues to provide unforgettable experiences. As the only restaurant of its kind, it offers guests the chance to dine in style while cruising the stunning Noosa River, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of this beloved coastal destination.

From her early days in the Daintree to her new life in Noosa, the Daintree Lady is a true testament to adventure, history, and the beauty of the Australian waterways.
