Part of the UNESCO-listed Noosa Biosphere Reserve, these peaceful waterways offer calm, mirror-like conditions ideal for beginners, nature lovers, and those wanting an easy and immersive nature experience.
Guided Exploration
Paddle through sheltered estuaries and mangrove-lined wetlands in a single or tandem kayak while your guide shares local knowledge about the waterways, wildlife, and surrounding environment.
Unique Wildlife Encounters

Relaxed & Scenic Adventure
With gentle paddling, stunning scenery, and expert guidance throughout, this experience offers a unique and accessible way to discover a quieter side of Noosa immersed in nature. Your three hours start with a safety briefing and a chat before heading out, and the lake is so shallow there are stops along the way to step out and stretch your legs.

No problem! We can accommodate young children using our stable double kayaks. To ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment, we require one child per booked adult, with each child sharing a double kayak with their parent or guardian.
Stingrays are commonly seen on this tour, especially in calm conditions, however as they are wild animals, sightings cannot be guaranteed.
The Noosa Everglades are far more than just a single river or kayaking location. They form part of a vast interconnected landscape of waterways, wetlands, forests, beaches, lakes, rainforest, dunes, hinterland, and coastal ecosystems that make up the UNESCO-listed Noosa Biosphere Reserve.
The broader Noosa Everglades system stretches across approximately 85,000 hectares of waterways and catchment landscapes, linking remote upper river systems through to Lake Cootharaba, Lake Weyba, the Noosa River, coastal wetlands, beaches, and the Pacific Ocean.
What makes the region so unique is the incredible variety packed into a relatively small area. Within a single day you can move through subtropical rainforest, mirror-like waterways, paperbark wetlands, ancient dune systems, rolling farmland, mountain lookouts, coastal estuaries, and ocean beaches, all connected as part of the same internationally recognised biosphere landscape.
