But, cheers to Vince, he's been my best friend for the entire trip! He pointed out a lot of wildlifes along the beach, even spotted whale fins waving to us!
I was in the same kayak with him when he captured this perfect moment. Even though I felt a bit seasick, he kept encouraging me and did his best to make sure I got the full experience, especially the kayak surfing!
Thank you so much Epic Ocean Adventures, especially Vince! 😎
Thanks Kevin and Rhys for our Epic adventure !
Well worth it … and a ranger parked in the ocean for some light entertainment
At the end we could enjoy a great sunset before driving back :)
Definitely recommended!
We had a fantastic time with Epic Ocean Adventures kayaking along the coast. Vince and Janik were excellent guides, both really helpful, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the area.
The wildlife was a real highlight. We saw a white-bellied sea eagle, an osprey, and best of all, a whole pod of dolphins milling up and down the coast while we were out on the kayaks. It was an amazing experience being that close to them from the water.
A great tour, beautiful scenery and a really enjoyable day out. Huge thanks to Vince and Janik for making it such a memorable experience. Highly recommended.
The tour guides Vince and JB were so excited about the animals that we saw which was infectious. Vince’s knowledge of local birds was incredible.
We were lucky enough to see several pods of dolphins and be within metres of two passing humpbacks.
Absolutely incredible day out
Spent the whole Kayak with DOLPHINS 🐬 and saw plenty of Whales!!!
Great experience right from the booking service to the final drop off!!
A must do! For tourists and locals alike!
We did the Epic Dolphin Kayak and 4x4 beach ride tour.
It was our 1st time sitting on a 4x4 bus going across the beach!
Getting to see wild dolphins and whales up close was an unforgettable experience.
A massive shoutout to Tyron and Allie, they were incredible hosts, super welcoming, knowledgeable, and hospitable throughout the entire trip. They made sure everyone felt safe, comfortable, and had the best chance of spotting wildlife.
If you're looking for an unforgettable ocean safari, this is hands-down the tour to book. Highly recommended!
in Noosa.
We had an absolutely fantastic day with Epic Ocean Tours on our private group tour to Double Island Point with Kevin.
From the moment we met him, Kevin was fun, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. It was obvious how passionate he is about the area, its history and the amazing wildlife, which made the whole experience even more special.
Driving along the beach highway while spotting humpback whales was something our group will never forget. It was such a unique experience! We also loved the SUP boarding, a delicious lunch on the beach, and having plenty of time to simply relax and soak up the beautiful surroundings.
What really stood out was that nothing felt rushed, forced or overly structured. Kevin let the day unfold at our pace, making it feel like a genuine adventure rather than just another tour.
Thanks for an unforgettable day full of laughs, fun and adventure, Kevin. We couldn’t recommend Epic Ocean Tours more highly!
The highlight was seeing so many dolphins up close in their natural environment—it was absolutely unforgettable and made the tour even more special. The kayaking was great fun, the scenery was stunning, and the whole experience was well organised.
If you’re visiting Noosa, this is a must-do adventure. We can’t recommend Epic Ocean Adventures Noosa highly enough and would definitely do it again!
We saw dolphins and whales while kayaking and Kevin was extremely patient to wait for the whales to get closer and not being rigidly fixed to the schedule to get us back to shore and driving back to Noosa. All together we kayaked for a little over 90 minutes in the ocean.
Kayaks and paddles were in good condition and the outfitter does a good job making sure the van is clean and comfortable. Kevin also had a great music playlist and I Shazam’d a couple of the songs.
The only thing is I wish there was an option for solo travelers to use a single kayak. But if you’re in an odd numbered party, you will need to kayak with someone else in a double.
The waves can be strong as it is open ocean. Additionally if you’re prone to sea sickness consider taking medicine as there was one person on the trip who vomited in the ocean.
They gave us great information. Friendly and approachable. We loved it.
his sidekick Seb - you were phenomenal and we all had a blast! Could not recommend this tour more.
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.
