Noosa

Amazing K’gari 4WD trip! Jess was an incredible guide — fun, knowledgeable, and made the whole day unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed the small towns and markets along the way. Overall, it's great, but the stops at each location are a bit short, making me worry about having enough time to get to the next place. Noosa Beach is a truly stunning beach, highly recommend checking it out!

I participated in the 2-hour Guided Mangroves and Mansions Tour with Kayak Noosa. After booking, you will receive a confirmation email with information such as the meeting time and location. Remember to bring your own water bottle, apply sunscreen, and wear sunglasses!!! This is the activity where you're most likely to get a tan!! However, if you forget to bring water, you can buy it at a small coffee shop on the wooden bridge for about AUD$3. Also, on the day of the tour, some spots have big waves and some participants fell into the water (the water isn't deep), so it's best to wear a swimsuit, and if you bring your phone, bring a waterproof case!! I originally planned to each use a single kayak with my partner, but on the day, the instructor directly informed us that we would be sitting in one kayak. The instructor didn't explain the reason, but you will understand once you start, as it is an activity that requires physical strength. I was glad that I didn't choose to paddle a kayak by myself, because after an hour into the activity, my arms were already very tired, and there were some places where the waves were bigger, requiring more strength to cross. Two people can take turns resting, and also take photos of each other. On the day of the activity, you will first put on a life jacket at the meeting point and be briefed on how to use the kayak, after which you will get directly into the kayak. At first, it will be a little awkward because you have to coordinate with your partner and paddle evenly to the left and right, but you will adapt quickly. The instructor will always pay attention to and care about our condition, making us feel very safe during the process. The instructor introduces the mangroves and various creatures along the way, allowing us to learn about this protected natural environment. I was very happy that we were finally able to see the "very fast and hard-to-find little tail"! This was my first time kayaking, and I thoroughly enjoyed this activity. Noosa is my favorite place on this trip to Australia, and you must experience it if you have the chance! *If possible, I hope the instructor can add some time for participants to take photos along the way, after all, this mangrove forest is so beautiful and worth taking photos to commemorate!
