About Us – Kanu Kapers
Established in 2002, Kanu Kapers Australia is Family owned and passionately operated by local Australian, World Champion gold medal kayaker Vivienne Golding and adventurer partner Kym McGregor. Kanu Kapers Australia provides sustainable guided and self-guided Noosa everglades kayak adventures. We love nature and are blessed to work in such a pristine location. The Noosa Everglades are ecologically delicate so we custom designed each expedition sea kayak with a long water line and rudders allowing you to explore the full everglades system under your own paddle power. Bursting with rare plant and animal species this magical area identified as one of the most pristine wetlands in the world is best explored by kayak for minimum impact and maximum kayak cruising pleasure and wildlife experiences. All you hear is the sound of your paddle gliding through the water and the amazing bird song.
Our aim is to provide a unique and awe-inspiring experience to people of all ages whilst promoting love and respect for nature and preserving the Noosa Everglades for future generations to enjoy.
