Half day Guided Noosa Everglades Kayak FAQ

+ Is this tour really that hard?

Yes. If you want something more relaxing, sign up to a full day tour.

+ Why is a fibreglass expedition kayak better than a canoe?

Our fibreglass expedition kayaks are sooooo much faster and easier to paddle than a canoe. Also, if the weather is a bit windy and there's a little bit of wave or chop, we have 'spray decks' that go over the cockpit and stop water from getting in so you don't sink...unlike a canoe which would either roll over or just sink.

+ Why is this tour better than other advertised half day kayak tours?

  • Our tours are located in the true Noosa Everglades, North of Noosa. There are a number of other tours being advertised as the 'Southern Everglades'...there's no such thing...that's the Noosa River.
  • Our kayaks are custom made, sleek and fast expedition sea kayaks.
  • Value for money is exceptional.
