We may be biased but we are pretty certain that our kayak tours are the best family activity on the Sunshine Coast. That’s because we offer the opportunity for families of all ages to spend time together immersed in nature, on their own personalised wilderness adventure, just minutes from Noosa. There’s nothing quite like family activities in the Noosa Everglades to bring everyone together to reconnect and make memories to last a lifetime.
The Best Way to See the Noosa Everglades – by Kayak 
The pristine waterways demand that you go-slow and take time to be mindful of the beautiful flora and fauna around you. Traveling by kayak is the best way to see the Noosa Everglades as you are at one with nature, leave no trace of fuel and do not disturb the abundant wildlife as you paddle gently by. The kids might want to take a dip and have a splash about but the pelicans really don’t seem to mind that!
Wildlife in the Noosa Everglades
Wildlife in the Noosa Everglades is abundant. You can expect to see black swans, pelicans, cockatoos, goannas, kangaroo and many more graceful beasts lining the riverside as you paddle on by.
Extended Family Activities in the Noosa Everglades
Families of all ages can enjoy our tours. We frequently host extended family adventures, with grandparents paddling alongside grandchildren – experiencing the rare treat of doing something healthy and active together.
Recommended Family Kayak Tours 
We recommend both 1-day kayak tours and overnight kayak adventures for families, depending on how far you want to paddle and how adventurous you want to be! Our 1-day kayak tours may be catered with delicious, fresh local produce and our overnight kayak adventures are fully equipped, meaning all you need to bring is a sleeping bag, pillow, food, drink and a sense of adventure.
