Noosa Everglades Kayak Adventure (Guided)

Swap the bustle for glassy water and bird calls on this guided kayak adventure through the Noosa Everglades. Launching from Elanda Point, you’ll paddle across Lake Cootharaba before heading into the calm, reflective waterways that make this part of Queensland so special. With an experienced guide leading the way, you can settle into the rhythm of the river and take in the scenery without having to worry about navigation.

Along the journey, you’ll visit Kinaba Information Centre and explore the upper Noosa River, known as the River of Mirrors for good reason. When conditions are right, the water becomes so still it feels like the landscape is floating above you. Add in a hearty lunch, plenty of fresh air, and some of the best wetland scenery around Noosa, and you’ve got a full day out that’s as peaceful as it is memorable. If you’re keen to see a quieter side of Noosa, this is a brilliant place to start.
