Keith made it all the more special, telling us all about the story of the indigenous islanders and just how special the island is with so much respect- what we learned and saw will stay with us forever. He also made sure to soundtrack the day with some great tunes. The transport was a massive bus which was super comfortable and air conditioned. And Keith made it go pretty damn quick up the beach! The buffet lunch was so delicious as well. We had the perfect amount of time at each stop -…”

Epic Kayak With Dolphins & Wildlife – 4WD Beach Adventure Noosa

10.Epic Kayak With Dolphins & Wildlife – 4WD Beach Adventure Noosa

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 366 reviews · from $115

Ride Noosa’s Great Beach Drive, kayak at Double Island Point, and search for dolphins, whales, turtles, and other wildlife.

“Beautiful scenery and drive along beach. Meeting other people from around the country and world, sharing experiences. Sadly vehicle got bogged on sand twice and had to wait more than an hour before vehicle was able to be moved. This forced guides to rush remainder of tour which reduced their ability to guide and interact. Due to delay tide was coming in reducing amount of beach available to drive on. Sea kayaking experience required due to challenging surf conditions. Overall would not recommend your.”
