About this tour
Paddle through Queensland's Noosa Everglades on a 6-hour guided kayak adventure across four distinct waterways. You'll navigate Lake Cootharaba's open waters, weave through Kinaba's mangrove passages, explore Fig Tree Lake's secluded arms, and drift down the Upper Noosa River—nicknamed the River of Mirrors for its glassy reflections. Your guide adjusts the route to match your paddling ability and fitness, and all gear is supplied. Lunch and refreshments fuel the journey.

What to expect
You'll spend six hours in a stable sea kayak, starting gently and building into deeper waterway exploration. The route flows between open lakes and narrow mangrove creeks, offering paddling variety and wildlife spotting opportunities. Expect to paddle for roughly 3–4 hours with a rest-and-lunch break midway. Water conditions are typically calm, though the guide will adjust difficulty based on group ability. Small children can travel in a kayak with an adult. Bring wet shoes—you'll likely wade in shallow areas.
