Noosa Heads: Hidden Waterways & Wildlife Kayak Tour (Fully Guided)
From
Highlights
The tour begins at the serene hidden waterways right at Noosa Heads, a
stunning mangrove ecosystem known for its perfectly calm, shallow waters and
rich biodiversity. The name “Weyba” comes from the Aboriginal word for
“Stingray,” and with so many of these graceful creatures calling the creek
home, you’ll quickly see why.
As we paddle, you’ll float through enchanting mangrove tunnels. These natural
pathways, created by dense mangrove growth along the edges and over the tops
of narrow creeks and lakes, are a surreal and mystical experience.
There is a nice spot along the way where we will stop so you can have a quick
and refreshing swim. This is totally optional though!
We can pick you up from locations in Noosaville and Noosa Heads on request.
