Stop for deliciously catered picnic lunch at Fig Tree Point, the tour continues into the Upper Noosa River, through the section known as ‘the Narrows or River of Mirrors’. Here the river narrows and the water of the Noosa River is so still that it reflects everything it sees, just like a mirror! You can sometimes paddle all the way to the iconic Harry’s Hut, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim beside the old fisherman’s hut. On the journey home, if the wind is blowing in a favourable direction, there is a chance to put sails onto the kayaks and sail the crossing of Lake Cootharaba, back to the launch site.
