Noosa 4WD beach ride and guided kayak at Double Island Point, hunting dolphins, turtles, rays and seasonal whales on a 6-hour tour.

“Our guides Cam and Nick were amazing. Unfortunately other than one Dorsal fin we didn’t see any animals but the place is so incredible and the guides were great that the kayaking experience by itself was worth the trip. We had rough enough conditions so wasn’t for the faint hearted or poor swimmers, and was a little sea sick inducing for some. Over all a great day out.”
