The Double Island Point kayak tour led by the amazing Seb was brilliant. A Monday out of tourist season on the edge of spring is a great time to do it - beach almost all to ourselves, the big lagoon totally to ourselves. Like it used to be before everyone owned a 4WD. Comfortable bus, skilled driving, making some tricky soft sand crossings seem simple. With a child who has not kayaked before and is not a skilled swimmer we skipped the guiding ocean kayak part and instead we got dropped at the giant lagoon (hundreds of metres long and way over 2m deep) to kayak there, explore on our own, walk across to the surf, look for rays and fish. Like being on a deserted island. Where the lagoon meets the sea the moving water is crystal clear and great for swimming or floating. Amazing trip. If a Frazer Island day tour seem too long, this one is a similar experience at only 6 ish hours and from Noosa instead of Rainbow Beach which is so much simpler. Highly 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.

I was drawn by the chance to see amazing ocean animals at a low impact to their well being and the environment.
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

Had an absolute blast with Epic Ocean Adventures!
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!

Absolutely EPIC! like the name. My mate and I just joined the tour from Noosa to Double Island Point. It was incredible. Pick-up was on time and clear instructions given. The tour ran very smooth. Kevin our driver and guide was very informative and funny. Kevin pointed out wildlife and gave us loads of information about the National Park and its flora and fauna. He was more than happy to answer our silly questions 😜. We didn't join the kayak tour, instead we did the walking track to Lighthouse. We saw lots of whales. We were lucky to see a whale mother and her baby and a large pod of dolphins, roaming close to the cliff. We recommend visitors join this tour when
in Noosa.

Absolutely epic kayaking adventure! Ben was great, we had a nice drive along the beach, and he told us about the history of the area. My wife wasn't sure about ocean kayaking, however the kayaks are tandem (2 person) kayaks, that and the wetsuits eased her mind. We were lucky enough to see a number of dolphins fairly close to our kayak, along with a loggerhead turtle! Definitely recommend these guys and the tour. We had a great time!read moreread less

We had an incredible experience with Epic Ocean Adventures Noosa! The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe and welcome from start to finish.
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!

I had an incredible kayak trip with JB and Kevin. Kevin was knowledgeable, kind, and an amazing spotter — he got us in position to see multiple whales up close from the kayak, plus several pods of dolphins, turtles, and birds including sea eagles. The whales were the absolute highlight: we could hear them breathing, and it was truly spectacular. I’ve seen whales many times before, but never this close and never in such a serene, peaceful setting. Highly recommend!! Note: this is open water kayaking where you encounter swells so I would take seasickness medicine and be ready to get a workout :)

I had a great time on the dolphin / whale kayak at Double Island Point. The guide Kevin was excellent with his narration during the drive up from Noosa, spotting wildlife, and kayak guiding.
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.

Thank you again Vince for a wonderful day out! Vince was an expert instructor and guide who shared vast amounts of knowledge with kindness and enthusiasm. Although we didnt see any whales we enjoyed every minute and that was completely down to Vince and his expertise. Simultaneously (somehow) he was entertaining us with stories and teachings of the eco systems, land and sea, whilst managing the group with the mastery of a world champion sheep herder. True class. 👍

Had such a great day trip to double island point with Epic Ocean Adventures. Our guide Vince was a legend, keeping spirits high despite an exhausting day. I wasn't able to do the kayaking due to poor fitness, but he gave me heaps of tips of wildlife spotting from the shore and inner lagoons. 4wd on the great sandy national park was a very cool experience, as was being on the vast pristine honeymoon bay area. The participants who did do the kayak experience reported seeing dolphins and mantas, would recommend if you're able to kayak 6kms.

We loved our day out with Vince. The pick up was easy, Vince had lots of great stories and information to share, and we had an awesome time on drive and the kayaks. Importantly we felt like we were in very safe hands, doing an adventure activity we wouldn't have felt comfortable doing alone.
My only advice would be to eat before hand and ensure you take a hat you don't mind getting wet.

My partner and I booked a paddleboarding adventure to Double Island Point and it did not disappoint! Our guides, Kevin and Seb, were fantastic and fun. The drive along the beach was a blast and we learned a lot about the area and wildlife. Once we were situated at Double Island Point, out came the paddleboards and we had a blast. Seb showed us lots of crabs, rays, and birds. We had a 1230 booking which meant we also just caught the sun setting, which was really the cherry on top. I can 💯 see myself coming back during whale season to kayak!

What a great day!!! Vince was so incredibly knowledgable, but also a terrific fun guide, while keeping everyone’s safety at top of mind. Of course seeing a pod of a dozen dolphins right before our eyes was pretty amazing, made the hard paddle back in a headwind all worthwhile.

We had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Epic Ocean Adventures on our trip to Double Island Point. From the very beginning, the day felt special, starting with a stunning 4WD beach drive where our guide, Vince, shared his fascinating insights about the local flora and fauna. His deep knowledge of the area and genuine passion for conservation really stood out and added so much to the journey.
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!

Absolutely Epic! Kevin was great at teaching us how to use the kayak as we had never used one before. He spoke to us about the wildlife and showed us the monitors and there were some eagles as well. We went on the water and he told some traditional lore about rainbow beach. We saw a pod of dolphins surfing the waves and that was awesome! The bus was really tall and took the beach really well. Overall it was a great trip and would 100% recommend to anyone fit and wanting an informative and safe adventure

We had a truly epic day at the Great Sandy National Park with Vince as our guide. This was a private tour with both surfboards and kayaks, and it ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our entire trip to Noosa, and honestly, Australia.
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.

Fantastic experience today with Kevin during the Kayaking tour. He was friendly, knowledgeable of the local area, set out the plan well so that we knew what to expect, and then we were also able to explore some areas that even he hadn’t been able to access before due to the high tide. The healthy snacks and drinks and the end of the trip were also greatly appreciated. Would highly recommend this to anyone seeking something active to do on your Noosa holiday with a wonderful guide

Nature to enjoy The guides were easy going and explained everything very well. The equipment was good. The way to get to the spot offers great views of the colour changing dunes, it's good to see a longer part of them. We saw several dolphins, not very close, several times. The guides paid attention that the dolphins did not get stressed by the kayaks.read moreread less

Disappointing This tour was a disappointment. The 4x4 trip is over promised (ie an old, stuffy van driving along a beach, just like all the other cars on the beach). The kayak spot is on the open ocean, you kayak out and return back. Seems like a low chance there would be any sea life. If you really want to see dolphins, take a jet boat tour that can find a pod and drive nearer to it.read moreread less
Sherpa61489382207, Manager at Rainbow Beach Tours, responded to this review - 2026-01-17
Hi,
Our tours are designed as low-impact, small-group adventures in a remote national park, using custom-built 4WD vehicles to access areas you simply can’t reach on sealed roads. Beach driving at Double Island Point is a unique experience in itself, which most people really enjoy.
Our ocean kayaking takes place in the open ocean, which is exactly where dolphins, turtles and whales naturally live. We don’t chase wildlife or use engines — instead, we operate quietly and respectfully. As a result, we see dolphins on around 80% of our kayak tours, often swimming alongside or beneath the kayaks, with whales regularly spotted during whale season.
We understand this style of experience isn’t for everyone. Guests looking for fast boats or guaranteed close encounters may prefer a motorised option, while those wanting a more ethical, nature-based experience tend to absolutely love what we do.
We appreciate the feedback and wish you all the best in your future travels.

The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. I think we were on the tour for around 6 hours but only apx 45 mins of that was actually in the kayaks. I honestly thought after all that driving we would be out there for longer to give more opportunities to find the dolphins. Weather was not great the day we went, we were given the option to cancel, we did go ahead with the tour and unfortunately we did not see any sea animals at all, but did see a kangaroo, some birds and a fox. Light refreshments were chips and Timtams.

Best day of our holiday.
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.
