Glide through the Noosa Everglades
Quiet, peaceful and full of beautiful wildlife – the Noosa Everglades is a must-visit for holidaymakers. Known for its serene surrounds and crystal-clear water, there’s no better way to experience this picturesque paradise than with a Kanu Kapers adventure tour. Take a guided kayaking tour of the area to learn some fun facts and local secrets or undertake a self-guided kayaking experience and glide along the waterways while you take in all of the natural beauty that the Everglades has to offer.
Get your adrenaline pumping on this thrill ride
High-speed shenanigans, sharp turns and wave jumping is all a part of one of Noosa’s most thrilling adventures – Noosa Oceanrider. Strap yourself in as this 12-seater RIB boat promises the ride of your life where you’ll leap over waves and dash across the water. If you really want a backstage pass to Noosa’s aquatic backyard, jump on board for a whale-watching tour or take a dolphin safari that glides past the Noosa National Park headland – just remember to keep a lookout for the local dolphin pods, turtles and more.
Ride on the river with this ocean bike
If you’ve never seen the Nauticycle before, it’s best described as a bicycle and a boat blended together – pretty cool, huh? It’s a relaxed way to explore the river as you cruise at your own pace, stopping to take in the spectacular views. It’s all courtesy of Eco Noosa River Adventures, where you can also hire stand-up paddleboards, kayaks, luxury electric boats and bikes (the land kind).
