Paddle through Noosa Heads' hidden waterways and mangrove tunnels with our new 2-hour Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) tour. Designed for both beginners and experienced paddlers, this tour offers a stand up paddle boarding experience in a beautiful and relaxing setting.
Our professional instructors will start with a briefing on the route and local wildlife, and an on-land training session to ensure you are comfortable and confident on your board. Once you are ready, we will help you through the tranquil and less-travelled paths of Noosa’s waterways, including some hidden mangrove tunnels.
As you paddle, immerse yourself in the lush landscapes and vibrant local wildlife. The calm waters provide a perfect backdrop for spotting native birds, and you will paddle through stingray sanctuaries.
There are some nice spots along the way where you can stop for a quick and refreshing swim. This is totally optional though!
