About this experience

Embark on a 90-minute lunch and sightseeing cruise for an exclusive experience on the stunning waters of the Gold Coast. Departing from the heart of Surfers Paradise, you'll step aboard the luxurious Spirit of Elston for one of the finest sightseeing and dining adventures the Gold Coast has to offer.


As you cruise, the spacious upper deck offers panoramic views of the city's most iconic landmarks — the glittering Gold Coast Broadwater, Sea World, the cultural hub of HOTA (Home of the Arts), and the impressive mega-yachts moored at Marina Mirage.


Satisfy your appetite with an irresistible buffet lunch featuring locally sourced ocean king prawns, succulent roast chicken, freshly baked ham off the bone, and a variety of fresh salads, all paired with a choice of wine or a refreshing cocktail.

What to expect

Enjoy an air-conditioned inside dining experience in the comfortable main cabin, where large viewing windows let you take in the Gold Coast scenery while you savor your buffet lunch.


Head up to the open-air top deck to soak in the sunshine with a drink in hand, taking in uninterrupted views of the Broadwater, Sea World, and the coastline as the cruise unfolds.


Throughout the journey, the expert crew provides lively commentary, sharing insights, fun facts, and stories about the Gold Coast, adding an entertaining and informative touch to your sightseeing experience.
