Guided Kayak Tour: This remarkable, personalized adventure offers a chance to visit secluded locations by kayak and truly experience the natural beauty and wildlife in a relaxed quiet setting. Hidden within the Cooloola Section of the Great Sandy National Park is one of the Sunshine Coasts' best kept paddling secrets, the Noosa Everglades.
Within the Noosa Everglades, are the pristine headwaters of the Noosa River. A waterway that, due to its National Park status, has remained a delicate and pristine wilderness, undisturbed by civilization. Only two hours drive north of Queensland’s capital city, Brisbane, the glorious Noosa Everglades is well known by locals and visitors alike as a marvelous wildlife sanctuary, boasting magnificent birdlife and a myriad of natural vegetation types including wallum scrub, rainforest and coastal sand dunes.

Begin your Noosa Everglades kayaking adventure at the Great Sandy National Park Canoe Launching site on the shore of Lake Cootharaba. Before we set off, be briefed on paddling techniques and trip highlights. Set off North across Lake Cootharaba to Kinaba (Sir Thomas Hiley) Information Centre where we will stop to read about the Great Sandy National Park and the ecology of the upper Noosa River, take a strole along the boardwalk which follows the edge of Lake Cootharaba, or simply sit and take in the marvelous views back over the lake.
Back in our kayaks, we continue up into the Noosa Everglades (Upper Noosa River) and navigate our way through small lakes and islands of reeds and tea-trees and up into the section known as'The Narrows'; where the water is so glassy and still it mirrors the surrounding landscape perfectly. Enjoy the company of various water birds who are lazily sunning themselves on logs and tree branches, and drift past the mass blankets of waterlillies. Paddle all the way to the famous fisherman's campout'Harry's Hut', spoil yourself with a well earned picnic lunch beside the River and freshen up with a rejuvenating swim from the jetty.
We set up camp in the National Park campsite at Harry's Hut beside the upper Noosa River; enjoy our dinner by the Rivers edge and experience count the millions of stars as they twinkle into sight as the sun slips away over the tree tops. In the morning, either spend sometime relaxing at the campsite or jump back into the kayak for further exploration along the river, either head North a little more or head back south and stay within the lower reached of the Noosa Everglades and explore up Kin Kin Creek. We then make our way back to the launch site on the shores of Lake Cootharaba for our 4pm pick up.
