The everglades are stunning Today was a great family adventure. It was overcast but our gude, Franko was a pro at spotting the rays. It was a great educational daybas he imparted his local knowledge. Thoroughly recommend this 3 hour tour.
Fabulous fun This was a fabulous full morning out & absolutely enjoyed by all of us. Fun & exciting ride made all the more enjoyable by Lachie, our guide. Couldn’t stop smiling, safe tracks, great nature & beautiful scenery try it, it’s very well worth it!
Fun kayak and stingray spotting! We had a lot of fun on this tour! It was a good way to see the base of the Everglades and spotting stingrays became the challenge across our small group! We all got to see around 4-5 by the end of the kayak. The day was a bit breezy which made some of the paddle harder, but overall it was an easy paddle. We laughed a lot, took some great photos and videos. Definitely recommend.
Fun and beautiful few hours out on the water Great few hours! Map was clear, relaxing in the waterways, saw quite a few sting rays, instructions were clear and guide was lovely!
Noosa Everglades Must do in Noosa!! Best way to start the morning!
Brilliant day emerged in nature The Noosa Biosphere guided e-mountain bike ride tour was fantastic. We covered breathtaking terrain, took in stunning views & the supplied e-mountain bikes were top quality & brilliant to handle. We appreciated our guide Jan’s sharing of his rich knowledgeable about the region, he was great to have a chat with, and made sure our group’s varying skill & fitness levels were well accommodated. Many thanks for a great day! Oh, and the burgers & beverages at the brewery across the road afterwards hit the spot too! Thanks for the suggestion! Jackie
Relaxing bike ride Very enjoyable relaxing bike tour with friendly staff! Highly recommend
A magical morning… Great experience a beautiful morning of kayaking whilst learning about the Everglades system and the stingrays. We saw loads of stingrays - different varieties as well - and felt really lucky.
Great tour guide, lots of laughs and some magical memories made.
Awesome ebike adventure We had a wonderful day, riding through the beautiful Noosa trails. Isaac is a patient, friendly and highly skilled coach. I'm a beginner at riding mountain bikes and my husband is experienced. Isaac catered for us both and gave us a fabulous experience. We highly recommend this tour.
A great way to explore Noosa Knowledgeable, friendly staff made sure we got set up before we headed off. A great way to explore Noosa.
Do it! This company is extremely organised and so pleasant. The self guided e-bike trip was fantastic! Do the walk to the mountain top - it is short and spectacular. The cycle paths are almost all dedicated paths and it’s an easy ride. Lot of time is given to enjoy the ride, take extra paths if you wish or stop for lunch. A few big roads to cross which would be tricky with young children. Thank you for a great day!
Five stars! Just book this tour. Such a great three hours seeing Noosaville and the surrounding areas. First timer e-bikers handled it great. Matt was a great guide.
Nice afternoon on the water Peaceful, serene, very educational. Jan was super.
Highly recommend! Loved this tour yesterday and saw loads of rays!! Shout out to Maddie for a great afternoon 😄
Would recommend to anyone in Noosa area!! This was a great Kajaking Tour Jan was an extremly knowledgeable guide and made everyone feel very comfortable. When we couldn't find stingrays he guided us to a different spot where they might hide and we were lucky enough to see lots of them. The tour was paced well with nice breaks in between and well manageable. Would recommend to anyone who wants an immerse experience in the everglades!! The views are stunning!
An experience you won't forget! What an experience! The team at Earth & Ocean were professional and courteous from the moment we connected with them. They were extremely accommodating with our group requirements. The trails we explored exceeded our expectations and included some of the most stunning views of the beautiful part of the world. I highly recommend this tour with this outstanding and knowledgeable company.
Outstanding personalised bike ride from Mt Tinbeerwah to Noosa. Brilliant 3 hours on comfortable well maintained e-bikes. Drive up Mt Tinbeerwah look walk to the look out and ride all the way back to noosa via some of the most beautiful bushland and waterways. Matt was fantastic as our knowledgeable guide. Couldn’t want for a better trip.
Fun in the sun Fantastic experience for a group of friends with limited exposure to e-bikes Such a blast was had with many tummy laughs
Fun experience exploring Noosa trails I had a great time exploring Biosphere Noosa trails under thoughtful guidance of Jan. He was fun, attentive and knowledgeable. The tour was diverse - we went through some forest areas (very fun!), the valley, and elevated viewing points. I very much enjoyed it. I also liked that you could use various levels of electric pedal assist from Eco, which gives you a bit of a workout out, to Boost, which lets you chill and enjoy the ride without getting tired. 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.
Exceptional Wildlife Tour We had such an amazing experience! It was cloudy and rainy, but our guide still made sure we had an epic tour. Since it was shoulder season, it wound up just being the three in our crew, so we basically got a private tour. We saw 3 species of sting rays right at the start of our trip, which was so exciting. We also saw the Azure Kingfisher, Cormorants, and Black Swans, none of which we had seen yet on our Queensland tour. Our guide was highly knowledgeable and shared interesting information about the Everglades, Noosa history, wildlife, and First Nations history throughout the tour. We paddles through mangroves so thick that the only way to see them is by kayak. Because the tour is on a lake and in 2 slow moving creeks, and you have 3 hours, the tour moves at a leisurely pace, making it suitable for all skill levels. We highly recommend this fabulous tour!
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.
Self guided kayak tour Good day out. Saw lots of stingrays and enjoyed paddling in the calm Everglades.
Recommend! Great trip kayaking the Everglades today! Wonderful to have Jan as our guide, offering wonderful information on fauna, flora and the local area's history. We spotted serval stingrays and had a beautiful, tranquil morning. Would recommend!
Great experience. Great experience! Lochie was a great guide and we learnt so much about the everglades, mangroves and stingrays. Would highly recommend this tour.
Beautiful relaxing time on Lake Weyba This was a beautiful place to explore by kayak. We saw lots of stingrays and fish and bird life. The guide was very knowledgeable and actually just really nice. My kids managed it ok, my youngest (12) found it a little exhausting but we got them through. Highly recommend. They did also recommend land and sea brewery for lunch afterwards which was delicious but expensive.
Magical! Wow what a wonderful trip with Maddie out kayaking guide. We enjoyed a beautiful paddle on the lake and navigated through the peaceful Everglades. We saw many stingrays, a jabiru, fish and birds. A mirrored surface on the water in the Everglades was magical.
Noosa bio ebike ride - worth doing! My teenage kids and I did the ebike ride of the Noosa biosphere this week and from pick up (by Matt) to drop off, the service was fantastic. Jan was our private tour guide and he was thorough and very patient, esp with my daughter who found some parts challenging. His explanation of the trail, the history, the geography and his guidance with using the ebike, was all great. It was our first time using ebikes and they were easy to use and def made the 40km more leisurely. The ride itself was lots of fun with different terrain, outlooks and vegetation - a great way to see the Noosa region.
A fantastic day out, great equipment, great guide. Our group ranged from 20 to 55 ans everyone loved it Excellent pre tour advice, great equipment ( e-mountain bikes were a treat), brilliant scenary, 40km of fun and views.
Fabulous kayaking experience! Absolutely fabulous experience! Calm afternoon (not much wind and only one motor boat that whizzed past twice in our 3 hours in the water). So much stingray activity and we saw Jabiru, sea eagle, wedge tail eagle, cormorant, osprey and the dancing welcome swallows. The guide Jann (hope I spelt your name right) was gracious and knowledgable.
Perfect morning in the Everglades Had friends here from CBR and always wanted to check out the Everglades so booked the kayak tour. Did not disappoint. Matt was the perfect guide, was lots of fun and with just enough history and wildlife lessons to teach us but then allowed us to explore the absolutely gorgeous creeks. Saw sting rays, eagles, mud crabs, and my guests said it was the perfect morning out. Thanks Matt, we loved it!!
E Mountain Bikes Brilliant tour. Wanda was a great guide and got to see so much . Loved it
Great Noosa adventure via Tewantin National Park and Biospere trek Great staff, looked after me with a Merida ebike with full suspension. The tracks were fantastic and Matt, Ronda, James were excellent. The trip was just right for me and timing good. All in all excellent adventure.
Girls trip 2026 We were on a girls trip and this experience was great but there were a few sore shoulders the nxt day.
Friendly and knowledgeable tour guides Friendly tour guides who had great knowledge of the area. Highly recommend. The e bikes were great too and enabled us to cover a large distance.
Don't miss out on doing this when you're in Noosa! An awesome thing to do when you are in Noosa. Our guide, Jan, was really friendly and knowledgable about the area and its natural history. We saw loads of sting rays. The pace of kayaking was perfect, never felt like we were being rushed. Kayaking through the everglades is beautiful. overall, could not recommend more!
Kayaking in the sunshine Incredible experience 2-3 hour trip across the Everglades seeing stingrays and a bit of a workout too in the sunshine. Matt was a really great guide and something I’d definitely encourage doing
A must do e-bike trail Great guide, scenery and bikes. Could not fault it. James led us - very knowledgeable and accommodating. Amazing views from top of mountain showing 360 degrees of the Noosa shire - not to be missed. A must do event!
Kayak adventure I went on this trip with my sister and brother in law who is disabled. The guys at Earth and Ocean were very helpful . They explained that in one area if the lake level was low then he might not be able to get into one of the creeks, but we were lucky! He was able to transfer into the kayak and we all had a fantastic time on the water. Saw lots of sting rays and had a very refreshing little swim. So my advice would be even if you aren’t fully mobile speak to them in the office because if they can get you onto the water they will
E mountain bike adventure My husband and I are road cyclists back in the UK, but I’ve never been into mountain biking and neither of us had tried E bikes before. Considering how much National park land there is around Noosa we thought it a perfect opportunity for me to try mountain biking and an E bike. James took just us out on a pretty hot day, starting in Pamona. It took a few kilometres for me to get used to the terrain, but what an adventure! I didn’t want anything more technical than this tour, for me it was just the right balance of challenging and distance. So much more fun than just being on the road. Stopped for a snack and views along the way. I absolutely loved it
Amazing excursion Excellent trip - Matt was superb as a guide - knowledgeable and friendly which put us at ease. So much to see on the tour. Loved it.
Great tour Highly recommend. Guide was helpful & informative. Tour well priced & incl drink and snack.Beautiful part of the world.
A fantastic time out in the water with the stingrays We were lucky to book a group guided tour but as there was just the two of us we had a private tour experience. Matt was a fantastic tour guide. Highly recommend this trip for anyone wanting to get up. Lose to stingrays and experience the Everglades.
Morning kayaking We really enjoyed our kayaking experience today with Yan. He was really knowledgable and we saw lots of wildlife including stingrays, fish, a kangaroo and some eagles too. The time went so quickly, would definitely recommend but would also say you have to be quite fit to use the paddles. This was my first kayaking experience and it was quite hard on the arms but nevertheless a brilliant experience :) thank you. The company also provided complimentary travel to and from the kayaking experience which we were very grateful for! Thanks again!
Loved it!! We were in a small group of four kayaks.We got to see many stingrays in shallow waters of the lake. Our tour guide was excellent, explaining the environment and the nature.
Kayaking heaven Cindy was a fabulous guide. We saw loads of stingrays including leopard whiprays, kayaked through beautiful mangroves and discussed the different types of cicadas. Highly recommend.
Great kayak adventure in the Noosa Everglades. An excellent few hours spent paddling around the Noosa Everglades.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.
Challenging but fabulous tour I had a fantastic day out on this e-bike tour. The bike was fabulous, LOVED the turbo, but I still worked hard, and after 4hours or so of being on the bike I felt like I’d done a good ride! My guide was cheerful, enthusiastic, relaxed, friendly, knowledgeable and made me feel at ease- and that’s even as we discovered many trees down after the storm two days previously! Views are amazing and there’s lots of variety in the bike ride itself. 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!
An amazing morning spent on the water Husband and I did the 8am self guided kayak tour. 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.
Amazing Kayak Experience in the Everglades We had an incredible kayaking experience! Our guide Jan was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole trip exciting and educational. We spotted several stingrays and got to see the breathtaking beauty of the Everglades up close. Truly an unforgettable adventure!
Highly recommend this tour Fantastic morning in the kayak that far exceeded our expectations. We were lucky enough to have both Josh and Matt as our guides and both were super friendly and fun to be with. We saw heaps of stingray in the shallow areas and as the waterway narrowed - being enclosed by the canopy was really cool . WE also spotted a kangaroo which was an added bonus.
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.
Great Self-Guided EBike tour We are a group of female friends all north of 48yos and we did the self-guided ebike tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good quality bikes and accessories. The area is very picturesque. Definitely recommend.
Memorable ebike ride around the Noosa Hinterland Awesome experience. The Noosa Trail Network is extraordinary and the views are spectacular. The ebikes we used were in great condition and we were SO happy we chose an electric mountain bike because this tour is not for the faint hearted! Our guide, Jan, was patient and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the tour, the guide and the business for a memorable Noosa experience.
Noosa eBike adventure What an absolutely fantastic e-bike tour! From start to finish, everything was seamless and so much fun. The views along the route were unreal. Every stop offered another breathtaking scene, and the e-bikes made the journey smooth and enjoyable without missing a moment of the beauty around us.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!
Easy ride even for us oldies We had the best time. James was an excellent guide. The bikes were super fun to ride and the route was easy and picturesque. Lots to see and an easy ride. Would definitely recommend.
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.
So many stingrays? An excellent morning spent out on Lake Weyba with our guide, Matt. 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.
Our 2nd time using this company - seamless! What a fantastic company to deal with. The whole process from booking through to collection of the bikes, and the returns process at the end of the day, was great. Everything was easy and the bikes were easy to ride and in perfect/new condition. The staff were super-friendly and chilled, as well as accomodating when we needed to change the booking details at the last minute. Highly recommend!
Great Experience! Highly recommended! My son and I had an absolute blast on the half day Biosphere MTB tour. The staff here are great and informative and the high end MTB Ebikes make this ride very enjoyable.
