crew Kevin, shared incredible local knowledge, and enthusiasm made the tour truly unforgettable and it made the experience so much more enjoyable.
My only advice would be to eat before hand and ensure you take a hat you don't mind getting wet.
Once we arrived, we jumped straight into our kayaks and followed Vince out into the ocean. It was an incredible moment when we closely encountered a pod of dolphins, truly something we’ll never forget. Vince made us and the kids feel safe, welcome and well looked after the entire time, always going above and beyond with his kindness, warmth and enthusiasm.
We can’t recommend this experience highly enough. If you’re visiting Noosa or the surrounding area, this tour is an absolute must-do!
Overall it was a great trip and would 100% recommend to anyone fit and wanting an informative and safe adventure
Vince is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the nature, wildlife, geology, and cultural history of the area, and he is also just a genuinely kind and lovely person to spend the day with. The experience of kayaking and surfing in such a pristine and beautiful environment felt very special - one of the most stunning places we’ve ever visited.
We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Noosa or Australia. It’s unforgettable.
The crystal clear water was great for kayaking and swimming.
Sure. Noosa Main Beach and surrounding national parks and surfing reserves are beautiful. But if you want to escape the summer crowds and experience an unforgettable day, get on an Epic Sea Kayaking or Surf Adventure to Double Island Point. You’ll be informed about the Noosa North Shore, marine life and nature (as well as being entertained) during a fun cruise along the beach. On arrival at the surf beach, you'll be blown away by its beauty. Do this with your friends, family or by yourself, you won’t regret it.
Thanks guys.
Vince and val where great guides
Deffo do it if your in rainbow
Surfed in for an exciting finale.
Very enjoyable day.
I would recommend avoiding booking during the holidays if possible, as the group was very large. This i’d say was the main downside, as it was hard to hear what the guide was saying and had to just guess and follow the group when they headed back to shore. I get that it’s kind of impossible to be within earshot for such a large group though and to keep everyone together. Maybe we had drifted too far away. We did see a whale when back on shore, just a shame it was after we left the water.
Impressive driving from the guides back through the storm along the beach. They were also kind to drop us at cars/accommodation to avoid the rain. I can only review based on my own experience which was honestly more 3/5 for me but I felt bad to put that when that was partly due to uncontrollable circumstances! I’m sure with a smaller group it would be incredible, no doubt 5/5 and a bit more worth the money. Always the way and a risk when depending on nature!
Our guide was fantastic – super friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the area and marine life. They gave us so much insight into the local ecosystem, which made the whole tour even more meaningful.
Seeing dolphins swimming right beside our kayaks and even spotting whales in the distance – an absolutely magical experience! The coastline is stunning, the water was crystal clear, and everything felt really safe and well-organized.
If you're visiting the area and want a mix of adventure, wildlife, and natural beauty, this tour is a must. Thanks to the Epic Ocean Adventures team for such an unforgettable day!
Loved it
It was sunny and warm but windy and the water was very choppy, so not easy to paddle and we got wet quickly. But it was the best day of our two week trip in Australia. We were lucky to see 6 whales, very close to our kayaks, and a young whale playing with the dolphins.
Thanks to our guide Liam for having given us the opportunity to share this magical wild life. The driving on the beach along the colorful cliffs and the "blueberry" crabs were also very beautiful and fun.
I recommend this trip to every body. Take care of our nature and wild life.
Highly recommended.
Moments after meeting Vince, we knew that the day was going to be superb. He is super laid back and easy going, overflowing with passion and knowledge all things nature and wildlife. He made sure we were all comfortable and well informed before going out to sea via kayak. He was thorough through and through. We were in very capable hands.
The long drive along the coast was beautiful. Fortunately we got to see a bunch of turtles, dolphins and even a humpback dolphin! It was an experience we’ll never forget.
Thank you Vince and Epic Ocean Adventures for the memorable day!
P.S. Vince deserves a pay rise for his undying passion!! 😆
Sean was easy going and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
