Kayaking

Fabulous paddle around the waterways of Noosa. Tour guide was so friendly and relaxed. Highly recommend. Even though we were in the rain, it probably made it better as we had the waterways to ourselves. 5 Stars all the way.

Operator response

Hi Rose, Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great time exploring the Noosa waterways with us. It’s awesome that you embraced the rain and still made the most of the experience—having the waterways all to yourselves definitely makes it extra special! We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to your guide as well. Really appreciate the recommendation and 5 stars—hope to see you back again for another paddle soon!

Fantastic experience

We are not regular kayakers, but coming from Denmark with little to see in our cold water, this was very impressive. We were the only ones that day, and our guide CC was super friendly and really great with our kids, in spite of the language barrier to our youngest. Our kids 7 and 9 both enjoyed the tour, but parents did most the paddling. Would go again - if ever back in Noosa. Pros: Very knowledgeable Safety Knew the hard to find spots Good with kids Good quality kayaks and life jackets Laid back atmosphere Turquoise water Secluded swimming spot Many stingrays Cons: None

Operator response

Hi Rune, Thank you for such a fantastic and detailed review! We’re so glad your family had a memorable experience on the water. CC will be over the moon to hear your kind words—she loves creating a relaxed, fun, and safe experience for families, even when there’s a language barrier. It’s great to hear your kids enjoyed the adventure (with a little extra paddling help from the parents!), and we're glad the wildlife, secluded spots, and crystal-clear water made the tour special. We’d love to welcome you back to Noosa anytime you’re in Australia again. Safe travels until then!

Guided Kayak Tour on Noosa River with Scott was superb!

Scott from Noosa Kayak was so wonderful, it was our first time in a double kayak on our own and he was very patient and encouraging. We did the whole experience for two hours around the Noosa River and into the Mangroves. It was such a delightful experience. Well done Scott! Thank you very much.

Mangroves and Mansions Kayak

We really enjoyed our 2 hour trip on the Noosa river. It was a great way to spend some time amongst the mangroves and be on the river :) Paddling was very low key. We were a family of 4, in a group of x8.

Firstly, shoutout to our guide. Cici (I’m sorry, I’m guessing that’s how it’s spelled) was amazing. Very friendly, helpful, and took photos throughout. She also gives you options about your adventure based on your skill level and what you want to see. We strolled through the house boats, saw some black swans, headed to north point for a quick swim, and circled back to shore. 2 hours was more than enough, you can definitely feel the upper body workout on your way back! Overall a great experience in the Noosa river. A change of pace from lounging on the beach all day

Operator response

Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a fantastic time exploring the Noosa River with Cici—she’ll be stoked to hear your shoutout! Tailoring the adventure to match your skill level and interests is what we’re all about, and it’s great to know you enjoyed every moment—from houseboats and black swans to that refreshing North Point swim. And yep, that upper-body workout on the return paddle is all part of the fun! Thanks for choosing us for a change of pace from beach lounging. We’d love to welcome you back for more adventures anytime! Cheers Sam🚣
