Just under an hour’s drive from Narrows Escape Rainforest Retreat, this award-winning operator offers boutique, carbon-conscious experiences designed for adventurous couples who crave serenity, wildlife encounters, and world-class photography moments.

Hand-crafted eco kayaks: Long waterlines and rudders minimise environmental impact while giving you effortless glide across the tannin-tinted waterways.
Small-group intimacy: Full-day and multi-day tours cap numbers to preserve the silence and maximise personal attention from highly qualified eco-guides.
All-inclusive experience: Tours depart from Elanda Point with premium kayaks, safety gear, expert instruction, fresh locally sourced meals, and return transfers.
Sustainability first: Advanced Eco Accreditation, Plastic Free Noosa partnership, zero chemicals, robust recycling, and optional carbon offset donations to Queensland Koala Crusaders.
