An absolutely amazing afternoon spent in a part of Noosa I had no idea existed. An excellent guide who told fascinating cultural stories. The afternoon wrapped up with a great beer from the local brewery. Highly recommended.

My 9 year old son nearly fell asleep. He was asking me "Dad when can we get off I am so bored". The driver is 80 years old if he is a day (see previous review from another customer - couldn't agree more). So disappointing. Absolutely nothing like the amazing experience I had in Sydney harbor previously where the ride was exciting, we got wet, tossed about and laughed our heads off. This "ride" was soooo conservative. Absolutely no chance to get wet as the driver simply incapable of the turns / speed. Such a let down. Please read this review and avoid. I promised my son I would save as many others as possible from not throwing away $150 and losing valuable time on their holiday.

We had an amazing time with Paul on the Kayaks and Stringrays tour. The location is stunning and serene. Paul is a wonderful guide who has a great knowledge of the local flora and fauna. His easy going nature also made the experience relaxed and entertaining. We saw heaps of rays, learnt so many new things and felt close to nature. Highly recommend!
