Passeio Guiado de Caiaque Pelos Manguezais e Mansões do Rio Noosa

This time, I participated in Kayak Noosa's 2-hour Guided Mangroves and Mansions Tour. After booking, I received an email confirmation with information such as the meeting time and location. Remember to bring your own water, apply sunscreen, and wear sunglasses! This is the activity where you can get the most tanned! However, if you forget to bring water, you can also buy it at a small coffee shop on the wooden bridge for about AUD3. Also, on the day of the tour, some areas had big waves, and some team members fell into the water (it wasn't deep), so it's best to wear a swimsuit, and if you bring a mobile phone, make sure to have a waterproof case! I originally planned to use a separate kayak with my partner, but on the day, the coach directly told us that two people would share one kayak. The coach didn't explain why, but once we started, it became clear that this is an activity that requires physical strength. I was glad I didn't choose to paddle alone, as my arms were already very tired after an hour, and some areas had bigger waves that required more strength to get through. Two people could take turns resting and also take photos for each other. On the day of the activity, we first put on life jackets at the meeting point and learned how to use the kayak. Then we got directly into the kayaks. It took some getting used to at first, as we had to coordinate well with our partner, paddling synchronously on both sides, but we adapted quickly. The coach kept an eye on us and cared about our condition throughout the process, making us feel very safe. The coach introduced the mangroves and various creatures along the way, allowing us to learn about this protected natural environment. We were very happy to finally see the "fast and hard-to-find little tail" with our own eyes! This was my first time kayaking, and I thoroughly enjoyed this activity. Noosa is my favorite place on this trip to Australia, and I highly recommend experiencing it if you have the chance! *If possible, I hope the coach could add some time for participants to take photos along the way, as these mangroves are truly beautiful and well worth photographing as a souvenir!
