Noosa Everglade Kayak -South/Noosa End - Searching for Stingrays!

We booked this tour as beginner kayakers because nowhere in the booking information did it state that the tour was only suitable for experienced kayakers. At the start of the tour, we told the guide that we were beginners. Despite this, he paddled off and left us behind. He didn’t even seem to realise we had been left behind. We eventually managed to catch up on our own, but it was obvious we were struggling. It was also a very windy day, and the guide knew the conditions would make it even more difficult for inexperienced kayakers. After about 15 minutes, we decided we couldn’t continue because it was simply too difficult. The guide just told us it is going to be hard for us but offered no assistance, encouragement, or support. We had to stop and go back. There was no effort to ensure we got back safely or to make the experience enjoyable. The lack of care and hospitality was extremely disappointing. We didn’t get to enjoy the tour at all, and it ended up being a complete waste of money. If this tour is intended only for experienced kayakers, that should be made very clear in the description before people book. If beginners are welcome, then they should be given the guidance and support they need throughout the tour.

Peaceful, serene, very educational. Jan was super.

Loved this tour yesterday and saw loads of rays!! Shout out to Maddie for a great afternoon 😄

This was a great Kajaking Tour Jan was an extremly knowledgeable guide and made everyone feel very comfortable. When we couldn't find stingrays he guided us to a different spot where they might hide and we were lucky enough to see lots of them. The tour was paced well with nice breaks in between and well manageable. Would recommend to anyone who wants an immerse experience in the everglades!! The views are stunning!

Super activity, but very expensive

We had such an amazing experience! It was cloudy and rainy, but our guide still made sure we had an epic tour. Since it was shoulder season, it wound up just being the three in our crew, so we basically got a private tour. We saw 3 species of sting rays right at the start of our trip, which was so exciting. We also saw the Azure Kingfisher, Cormorants, and Black Swans, none of which we had seen yet on our Queensland tour. Our guide was highly knowledgeable and shared interesting information about the Everglades, Noosa history, wildlife, and First Nations history throughout the tour. We paddles through mangroves so thick that the only way to see them is by kayak. Because the tour is on a lake and in 2 slow moving creeks, and you have 3 hours, the tour moves at a leisurely pace, making it suitable for all skill levels. We highly recommend this fabulous tour!

This was a great experience, however we were underprepared as there was not of information given prior. Everyone has rain jackets but us, Jan was nice enough to provide some though. We still had a great time. Something to note as a plus size person - it is very easy to tip the boat which Jan informed me of in a very respectable manner which I appreciated.

Good day out. Saw lots of stingrays and enjoyed paddling in the calm Everglades.

Great trip kayaking the Everglades today! Wonderful to have Jan as our guide, offering wonderful information on fauna, flora and the local area's history. We spotted serval stingrays and had a beautiful, tranquil morning. Would recommend!

Great experience! Lochie was a great guide and we learnt so much about the everglades, mangroves and stingrays. Would highly recommend this tour.
