Wonderful two hours paddling among mangroves with guide Kevin, who was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Saw lots of stingrays. Wish we had more time for more Epic tours.
Thanks so much for joining us! 😊 We're so happy you enjoyed the mangroves, the stingrays and Kevin's stories along the way. Two hours can fly by when you're exploring somewhere as special as the Noosa waterways—we'd love to have you back for another Epic adventure when you have more time! 🛶✨
Had a great time exploring the hidden waterways and saw some big stingrays! Kev was an awesome guide highly recommend
Thank you so much for the lovely review! 😊 We're so happy you had a great time exploring the hidden waterways and seeing those big stingrays. We'll make sure Kev hears your kind words. Thanks for the recommendation, and we hope to have you back on another adventure with us soon!
This trip was fantastic, with the journey a calming experience within nature and the service that the worker kindly provided. You get to indulge yourselves in the tranquil atmosphere while getting an adequate exercise for your arms (and possibly your legs.) Even so, the trip was very enjoyable and we really recommend it. Thank you for the people who made this experience possible! 这次旅行太棒了，旅程是大自然中平静的体验，还有工人亲切地提供的服务。你可以沉浸在宁静的气氛中，同时为你的手臂（可能还有你的腿）进行充分的锻炼。即便如此，这次旅行非常愉快，我们真的推荐它。感谢那些让这次经历成为可能的人！
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Ruoyi! 🩵 We're so happy you had such a great time with us. It sounds like you had an amazing day on the water, and we're thrilled you got to experience all the incredible wildlife. Thanks for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure one day! 🐬🌊
We had a great time on the self guided tour in this beautiful part of the world, highly recommended if you want an active morning on the water. Saw some stingrays and plenty of birdlife. Suzie gave us a good intro to the tour before we set off and was very helpful and friendly.
Really appreciate you taking the time to share this 😊 So glad you had such a great morning out on the water and got to see the stingrays and birdlife too. That’s always something special. We will make sure Suzie sees your kind words as well, she’ll be really happy to hear she helped get your trip started off well. Thanks again for recommending us, hope to see you back out for another adventure sometime!
Great tour. Our guide Kevin was very friendly and knowledgable. He took us through little narrow mangrove trails. Very peaceful and serene. Didn’t see any stingrays but saw an Osprey and mullet fish jumping out of the water. Would definitely recommend!.
Very smooth introduction and getting us into the water. Saw about 6/7 different stingrays and a nice cruise around. We did the self guide but we were given a map of where to go and some tips!
It was disappointing as our trip was cancelled at quite short notice as there were no other attendees and it was too late to book an alternative
The scenes were good. The meeting address points to the middle of the road, and the picnic tables are not visible from the roads. Could use more detailed directions to the meeting place. Would've been better if the guide helped us find/explain more about things other than the mangroves.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience on our Noosa Heads: Hidden Waterways & Wildlife Kayak Tour. We’re glad you enjoyed the scenery and had a chance to explore the waterways. We appreciate your feedback regarding the meeting location and guidance — we’ll review our directions and tour information to make it clearer for future guests. We also take your comments on expanding the interpretive experience on board seriously and will work on highlighting more of the local wildlife beyond the mangroves. We hope to welcome you back for another kayak and wildlife adventure in Noosa and Double Island Point, and provide an even more memorable experience next time. Warm regards, Epic Ocean Adventures
Despite the really low water level we could do the ful round and Susie pushed us across the sandy spots. She also shoed us several local birds and explained feature of the Mangoves, Unfortunately, we spotted just one stingray.
Thank you for sharing your experience on our Noosa Heads: Hidden Waterways & Wildlife Kayak Tour. We’re glad you enjoyed your private tour and appreciated Susie’s guidance through the sandy spots and the local wildlife, including the mangroves and birds. While it was unfortunate that only one stingray was spotted, we’re happy you still had a memorable experience exploring the waterways. We look forward to welcoming you back for another kayak and wildlife adventure in Noosa and Double Island Point, where hopefully even more wildlife will make an appearance! Warm regards, Epic Ocean Adventures
Our tour guide James was fabulous. We were very lucky to be on the road alone with him. James is an absolute nature lover. It was great fun to talk to him about flora and fauna and the special environment. We saw numerous birds and also a ray, although the weather conditions with light drizzle and clouds were not quite ideal. We had a great time and would recommend the tour to anyone who wants to experience unique nature away from the tourists in Noosa. 💚
Thank you!
