Noosa Everglades camping kayak tours

Our self guided multi day Noosa kayak camping tours are perfect for those who want to unwind in a majestic wilderness location. Our camping 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.

Immerse yourself in a pristine and untouched wilderness as you traverse one of only two Everglades in the world. This stunning location boasts tranquil natural vistas, home to over 44% of Australia’s avian species and 1365 unique plant varieties. The Noosa Everglades system encompasses a vast expanse of majestic lakes and meandering upper Noosa River wilderness.
