What to expect
You'll start with a thrilling 4WD traverse of Noosa North Shore beach, crossing sand and shallows to reach the park's northern reaches. Once there, guides fit you with kayaking gear and brief you on conditions and marine life behaviour. Expect 2–3 hours paddling around Double Island Point's rock outcrops, where dolphins often cruise close and larger cetaceans occasionally surface offshore. The water is typically calm and clear; guides read conditions and spot wildlife constantly. You'll pause to swim in shallow bays, then paddle back. A light snack and water are provided, though many travellers bring extra food.
