Absolutely amazing day today. Lived here for 7 years and have only just found this little piece of paradise. The instructor was awesome gave a super detailed description of what to expect and how to navigate the rivers. Would recommend for anyone and everyone. Well worth the price.

We have just returned from a brilliant day kayaking on the Noosa Everglades with Kanu Kapers.

We opted for the self-guided tour which gave us the opportunity to relax, have our own space and enjoy the solitude of the area.

This was a highlight of our time in Noosa and we would highly recommend it.

Josh collected us on time from our hotel and took us to the departure point where we met Liesel, who gave us an excellent briefing on the route as well as the key landmarks to look out for on the way. She did a great job of making us feel confident for the day ahead. Josh and Liesel were both so friendly and helpful.

We had no prior kayaking experiencing but were able to fully complete the route with some time to spare, having stopped for a snack at the ranger’s station and then again for a half hour lunch break.

Kayaking across the lake at the beginning and end of the route takes a bit of patience and determination but we really enjoyed the element of challenge and feel it is do-able by anyone with a reasonable level of fitness. As soon as you reach the river, paddling becomes much easier so you get a bit of a break that way.

You need to remember to bring all your food, water, sunscreen and a change of clothes as you will definitely get a bit soggy if the lake is choppy.

My husband and I enjoyed our paddle up the narrows of the Noosa River to Harry’s camp. We loved the dense varied vegetation. We saw some colourful Kingfishers, and some water birds (Darters) and a goanna. We stopped to look at the information boards at the old Rangers station. We had great weather, not much wind so paddling was good heading back across the lake.

An amazing journey through the Noosa Everglades - one of just two Everglades in the whole world! The brief and introduction to kayaking was clear and to the point from our guide and soon we were off in our kayak to explore at our own will! Note this is a strenuous activity so be prepared to kayak for the full 4-5 hour slot depending on how far you want to get! An incredible experience and one of our highlights of the trip!

Amazing day out with Kanu Kapers. We did the self guided tour and saw the beautiful Noosa Everglades up close. Instruction and briefing was thorough and very well done, equipment is good (Sea to Summit!) and the expedition kayaks were in great condition and easy to handle. Highly recommend!

We had a positive, fun and enjoyable experience doing the kayaking in the Everglades. Kim was very friendly, and has a lovely chatty personality. She collected us from our hostel in the morning and drove us to the recreational area. Kelly & Kim were experts at their job, and they explained what we had to do and all the necessary details. Overall, we had the best time and would highly recommend doing this activity if you’re visiting Noosa!! 😊

We had an amazing experience at Kanu Kapers, Kym collected us from our hostel and dropped us back to the door once we were finished. She was so smiley and helpful the whole way through. The kayak itself is so beautiful, you are provided with a dry bag and an Eski which are both very handy! Everyone working there was so lovely and made our experience very enjoyable

Two older ladies with limited kayaking experience and slightly dubious weather. Apparently makes for a great day out. Took our time and enjoyed the spectacular scenery! Enjoyed so much I am doing it again in March with 5 other friends. Recommended for this with reasonable fitness even if into your 60s!

We did the self guided one day experience and it was amazing! My friends and I loved every minute of it. The Kanu Kapers team were so helpful and professional. Our kayaks were in excellent condition and handled the waterway and different conditions extremely well. They are the best kayaks we have ever paddled and seemed very suitable to this adventure. Kanu Kapers fibreglass expedition sea kayaks seem much more suitable than canoes for this trip.
The Everglades are beautiful including the upper river which is pristine and the lake is equally interesting and lovely.
We saw sea eagles and sting rays on the lake and lots of birds and koalas from our kayak.
We stopped for a lovely picnic at figtree point and had a refreshing swim in the narrows.
I highly recommend this trip and we will definitely be back to do the 3 day camping, kayaking and hiking adventure!
Thank you for a great day Kanu Kapers

We were looking forward to this trip but it turned out to be a dangerous disappointment. We are young, sporty and reasonably adventurous, but this was too much. We had to be rescued.

We wanted to cancel the trip due to bad weather forecast (floods, wind and storms) but we were told that no refund is possible and that they advice us to come, since the weather will be ok and we‘ll have fun. After 1 hour in the water the weather conditions were so severe we had to seek shelter and called the company to ask wether it is safe to continue.

We were more or less told to get our s*** together and be adventurous by vivien (boss of company).
So we did continue and the way back to the meeting point was nearly impossible and dangerous. Waves, heavy rain, no visibility and very physically demanding. We were very happy to see the guide coming for our rescue when we didn’t show up in time. She seems to be the only reasonable person in this company who confirmed the conditions were too extreme.

We think a refund after all this would only be fair, however no one ever picked up the phone to offer any explanation. We were avoided.

We are ok with having no views, but to be put in danger is not ok. The people who lead this company shouldn’t be allowed to. Book with someone else.
