Airlie Beach Cruise and Dine
Join Sundowner Cruises on a pre-dinner Sunset Cruise around Pioneer Bay, followed by wonderful meal at Sorrento Restaurant and Bar. Situated just 100m from the dock where Sundowner departs from, Sorrento’s is a friendly Italian restaurant with a delicious menu of Italian-inspired dishes. Welcoming couples and groups alike, if you book the Cruise & Dine experience, we will book an individual table to suit, whether you are wanting a romantic dinner for two or are part of a small group* celebrating a special occasion.
We circumnavigate Pioneer Bay and as we have very little draft we are able are able to get up close and personal to the many points of interest along the Airlie Beach coastline, and enjoy a bit of turtle spotting in Turtle Bay. After the sun sets, enjoy the lights of Airlie Beach at night, while we slowly make our way back to port.
*If you are part of a group but booking individually, please let us know so that we can make the correct size table booking for your party.
