Exceptional Wildlife Tour

5.00We 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!
Underprepared but still enjoyed

4.00This 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.

5.00We chose the self guided option, which I was a bit nervous about, but went with this option as I was concerned we wouldn't keep up with a group, I'm glad we did this as the water was a bit choppy and we had a head wind to start with. The map was really easy to use and the guide told us where to head for the best viewing, so we paddled straight there and WOW, it was awesome, the Keyser creek was incredible, we saw so much, the reflective water was incredible for amazing photo opportunities. we were given a drink and snack to take with us too, the weather was warm, rain, warm lol, was a great experience.
A must do in noosa

5.00This was a beautiful place to explore by kayak. We saw lots of stingrays and fish and bird life. The guide was very knowledgeable and actually just really nice. My kids managed it ok, my youngest (12) found it a little exhausting but we got them through. Highly recommend. They did also recommend land and sea brewery for lunch afterwards which was delicious but expensive.
Magical!

5.00Wow what a wonderful trip with Maddie out kayaking guide. We enjoyed a beautiful paddle on the lake and navigated through the peaceful Everglades. We saw many stingrays, a jabiru, fish and birds. A mirrored surface on the water in the Everglades was magical.
Fabulous kayaking experience!

5.00Absolutely fabulous experience! Calm afternoon (not much wind and only one motor boat that whizzed past twice in our 3 hours in the water). So much stingray activity and we saw Jabiru, sea eagle, wedge tail eagle, cormorant, osprey and the dancing welcome swallows. The guide Jann (hope I spelt your name right) was gracious and knowledgable.
