Full Day Noosa Everglades kayak tours
We have both guided and self guided options for the full day kayak tours. These six hour tours depart from the Elanda Point Canoe Launch (5 minutes north of Boreen Point, 30 minutes from Noosa) and are perfect for individuals, couples or families with older kids.
Choose your own adventure on a self guided tour or let us inform and entertain you with one of our qualified, local, expert guides who will also lay out a light morning tea and then later, an extensive and delicious smorgasbord lunch that will not disappoint.
Experience a truly sustainable kayak adventure with our Noosa Everglades One Day Tours and immerse yourself in a pristine wilderness as you explore one of just two Everglades in the world. This is a stunning place of serene natural beauty, bursting with more than 44% of Australia’s bird life, and 1365 plant species. The unique landscape is best explored by kayak to really connect and experience its nature, wildlife, and tranquillity. Adventure Tribe (Kanu Kapers) use streamlined, locally handcrafted expedition sea kayaks for maximum cruising pleasure and provide expert tuition before leaving the launch location.

Full Day Noosa Everglades Frequently Asked Questions
+ Why is a fibreglass expedition kayak better than a canoe?
Our fibreglass expedition kayaks are sooooo much faster and easier to paddle than a canoe. Also, if the weather is a bit windy and there's a little bit of wave or chop, we have 'spray decks' that go over the cockpit and stop water from getting in so you don't sink...unlike a canoe which would either roll over or just sink.
