Noosa: Epic Stand Up Paddle Wildlife Tour & Beach 4x4 Double Island Point
Duration:
Operated By:
Take a thrilling Noosa Stand Up Paddle eco Adventure to Sunshine Coast’s hidden tropical wildlife paradise, Double Island Point. The spectacular wind swept coloured sand cliffs protect many of the flat water lagoons and much of Honeymoon Bay making for an ideal natural environment to explore and experience the local wildlife on a guided stand up paddle lesson.
DOUBLE ISLAND POINT:
Located within Noosa’s Great Sandy National Park and can only be accessed by 4X4 along Teewah Beach around the low tide. The location is typically remote, uncrowded and perfect for stand up paddling with crystal clear flat water lagoons and a super long sandy point break ideal for beginners, intermediate and advanced exploring the Marine Park or looking to take the next step into the waves. If your already well advanced in stand up paddling then why not come and explore the magical waters of Honeymoon Bay in Noosa’s pristine Great Sandy National Park.
Expect to see many of the local wildlife on your stand up paddle tour with six of the world’s seven marine sea turtle species found here including the Green Sea turtle, Loggerhead and Hawksbill. Often with an excellent view on stand up paddle they can be seen feeding and resting in the shallows. Rays, Bottlenose dolphins, many different bird species, Humpback whales (over 35000 to pass this season) and soldier crabs in their thousands are also all frequent here.

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.
The kayak tour itself was a bit heavy for the kids because the waves were pretty high. But in the end we did see a whale really closely.
A fantastic way to spend some time in Rainbow Beach.
