A spectacular journey! - After picking all the guests up, it’s about 30 min drive to the starting point. We first had a n extraordinary boat trip through the Everglades, expertly commented by the skipper with a lot of humor. After drinks and pastries, it was time to paddle back to the starting point, in canoes with a single paddle. Upstream and with headwind, not a simple feat: 5 km are to be reached in 75 to 90 minutes. It would have been nice to have minimal instructions on how to row, steer and control the canoe. However, those who don’t make it get help and are picked up by boat. Free time to spend on lunch or exploring the neighbourhood until 15.00 hrs, when the pickup starts for the journey back by coach. Highly recommended

Great day in nature! - I booked my trip from Noosa the pick up was dead on time ....... and when we arrived at the boats start point , there was a good detailed explanation for the Kajak newcomers , life jackets etc , the guide was really good very knowledgeable and fun . The Kajak trip was great and not too far... with very beautiful scenery. We arrived Back at the starting point where there was time to have lunch / snacks. With good facilities toilets . A Bus departing on time back to various pickup/off. Places . So I can absolutely recommend this trip . And to top it all .....they even transported my sunglasses (which I'd forgotten in the cafe ) the next day back to Noosa........ Brilliant. Go for it Do the trip ! Anita

Unspoilt unique part of Australia - a must see - Amazing scenery in an unspoilt part of Australia. Nature at its best. Very knowledgeable guides and great local insights and historical snippets. Only suggestion- don’t make us wait around so long at the beginning - some of us had to get up early to get there - only to be made to wait!

Overpriced, poor shuttle and only 1 hour of Canoeing - Disappointed - I'm never one for writing bad/poor reviews but I feel with this one I really should. We were very excited for this, but were left very disappointed by it. You are picked up by the shuttle service at 0800 and then taken to the area, where you checked in. You are then spilt into two boats. You both then go out, as Nd one boat does the Canoeing first and the other does a boat ride through the passage. At the end, you swap over and then come back. You only get 1 hour canoeing at most, which we were disappointed with and there was no mention of this. When you stop and change, there is orange/apple juice and a muffin. Then it's back to the main site. Don't get me wrong the Everglades are wonderful and a beautiful thing to see. The driver was lovely and very nice. We got back to base at 1300 and the shuttle was not until 1500. It felt like that this had been planned for you to spend money within the Bistro that is there as there is really nothing more to do and no other activities or anything. We just sat around for 2 hours waiting to go back, there was no need for this and it should have been well advised or there should have been a earlier bus for people wanting to go back. When 1500 came around, no bus arrived and everyone was waiting. We had to go and ask where the bus was to get anyone doing anything. For us, this was a real shame, it is very overpriced and a let down. We have been on many tours throughout Australia since being here and they were full days and included lunch for the same price. I feel that the company need to review this trip/tour, the price and the shuttle bus service.

Very Dissapointing - Visited today and appreciate the weather was not good, however were very disappointed, very little information from the guide re the history and eco systems he spent most of his time encouraging people to canoe and swim. A group of us who did neither were told I don’t know why you are here if you aren’t swimming or canoeing, this is not what we were told the tour was about. It was too long and could be condensed.
