Couldn’t stop smiling, safe tracks, great nature & beautiful scenery try it, it’s very well worth it!
We saw loads of stingrays - different varieties as well - and felt really lucky.
Great tour guide, lots of laughs and some magical memories made.
Such a blast was had with many tummy laughs
Jan had brought some healthy snacks and coconut water for the end of the ride which was really nice. They also could provide backpacks and windshield / rain jackets if needed.
All in all, great experience - well worth the time and money.
Underprepared but still enjoyed This was a great experience, however we were underprepared as there was not of information given prior. Everyone has rain jackets but us, Jan was nice enough to provide some though. We still had a great time. Something to note as a plus size person - it is very easy to tip the boat which Jan informed me of in a very respectable manner which I appreciated.
Plenty of wildlife to be seen, including lots of stingrays.
Good quality equipment. A nice touch was the Esky with a couple of tins of coconut water and a couple of granola bars.
Friendly staff. We were on self-guided tour and the briefing told us everything we needed to know to have a fabulous paddle.
I’d certainly recommend the company, who went out of their way to accommodate me. Hopefully I can come back with my family next time!
Annoyingly I cant remember the gentleman's name who was setting the trip up but he was great. He gave us all the information we needed and we felt perfectly set up for the mornings kayaking.
What a beautiful spot to spend a couple of hours kayaking.
We saw sting rays and were even lucky enough to see a Kangaroo skipping from one side to the other across the water. That was spectacular in our opinion.
We really enjoyed our morning on the water.
It is also great that you can just secure the boat when youve finished with your time on the water and dont have to wait for someone to meet you at the end.
We even managed not to fall out with who was rowing wrong the way (haha) that shows how lovely the morning was.
We would really recommend this activity. We loved it. Thanks again.
Afternoon on Lake Weyba It was a beautiful afternoon. Leisel was extremely friendly, informative, and obviously loves this area. We saw many stingrays and loved how Leisel was respectful of the animals in their natural environment.
The guides were incredible — super friendly, knowledgeable, and always made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. They added so much to the experience with interesting facts and local stories.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or a total beginner, this is a must-do!
Don’t book! Awful experience. The guide was SO rude to us and we basically couldn’t follow the guided route given as the tide was low and it was too shallow. As non locals to Noosa, we shouldn’t be expected to know how deep a lake would be. The company shouldn’t be selling tours when the tide is out as we were unable to move and spent half the time walking the boat rather than kayaking.
Very special experience kayaking amongst the stingrays Great morning out with friend doing the self guided kayak tour. Saw lots of stingrays, wildlife and some stunning and unique nature in Noosa. Matt was super helpful with questions and booking assistance and all staff were lovely and helpful. We were provided with kayaks, paddles, dry bag, morning tea in cooler bag , maps- In retrospect it would have been much better for us to have done the guided tour our first time ( but was booked out) as the water was very shallow in many places and staff guiding us around this would have saved us a lot of time and portage. We got lost at the beginning and wasted a lot of time ( as did everyone else) and this to a great degree was due to us not thoroughly reading all the maps and info before departing ( and correlating this to our google maps app). Had I not thought to drop a pin before we left we would have been in a spot of trouble. A more thorough orientation in this regard would have helped too ( eg getting us to open our map app, drop a pin and showing us how to correlate with the maps provided before departing). Once we started kayaking it was hard to read and orient ( my bad). All went well once we realized our error and started using the app. Overall a well organized, beautiful and unique kayaking experience.From beginning to end Matt was engaging, chilled and hospitable.
We were a group of 10 extended family members aged 20-60 and all had a great time.
We saw heaps of stingrays too!
Highly recommended.
