      Bucket list adventure
      My 7 year old daughter and I went on the Epic dolphin kayak adventure and had a phenomenal experience. Our guide Tyron was very experienced and provided the best vibe (loved his playlist driving to and from double island point). He kept everyone safe and comfortable in the water. It was an adventure of a lifetime! Highly recommend.

      Most amazing experience - dolphins, whales, turtles & eagles!
      Our family of four jumped on a private tour with Stephen at Epic Ocean Adventures. Right from booking, we had such a smooth organizing experience and the day itself was one we will not forget. A fun trip along the beach followed by a relaxed lunch picnic. We then got into some surf lessons and had a go on a few waves... whilst encountering a turtle and some dolphins swimming around us at the same time! A brief transition into kayaks afterwards and we were soon being followed by a pod of dolphins and sat watching 2-3 whales jumping out of the water ahead of us. As if that wasn't enough, we came across a few more turtles as we kayaked into shore... oh and I forgot about the eagle that flew straight over us after catching it's fish for dinner! A truly epic day and Stephen was an A+ guide... accommodating and informative. Thanks Epic team!

      Kayak experience ruined by weather
      I can see most of the reviews says they had a great experience plus saw wildlife. Our day started off good with a nice drive along the beach, seeing some whales in the distance. Unfortunately the kayaking wasn’t a good experience. The sea was choppy and the wind had really picked up. It ended up being a really stressful situation. The weather was not suitable to see wildlife whilst in the water but I’m sure on a flat day it would be perfect. We spent our whole time on the water stressing not to flip over. 3 Kayaks turned back, us included due to the conditions and we heard that 5 other kayaks who completed the tour capsized. Isaac one of the instructors was really helpful and supportive which was much appreciated. It would be better if we were told about the weather before hand and given the option to change our booking. We would recommend, if the waves and weather are looking a bit rough stay in the shallow parts or cancel your booking if you’ve got young children or less confident kayakers.

      Beautiful day But no pictures 🙁
      We really enjoyed the day and the Kayak Tour last week. It was amazing to see whales and dolphins right next to us. It was said that we get the photos and we really looked forward it. Unfortunately we don‘t get any photos yet and we also get no response to our request. It‘s sad because we don‘t have any picture from this beautiful day because we left our phones in the car (recommondation from the guide).

      Amazing Kayaking experience with dolphins
      It was an epic experience. We saw a lot of dolphins near by. We were struggling to get through the waves and the staff gave us a push to the sea, and they were remarkably supportive. Whoever visiting Noosa should definitely do this. ❤️

      Amazing experience
      Had the best time on Vince’s tour. We saw so so many whales out on the water and they came so close to the kayaks :) Vince is extremely knowledgeable about the marine life and the area which was amazing to learn about. Best thing we did in Noosa :)

      Amazing experience
      This was an amazing expérience, being so low in the water make you feel much more closer to the wales and dolphins, the guides really know what they are doing and where to go to see them the best ! The place is very beautiful driving on the sand is also very good. And the guides are very nice thank you to Tyron, Steve and Eli !

      A WHALE of a time!
      We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. The 4wding on the beach was a first for us and that was super fun. And we saw sooooo many whales and dolphins and other wildlife from the beach and whilst kayaking. It was amazing to be able to get up so close. Our guide Vince is an absolute legend. He had great energy and was very knowledgable about the fauna and flora around us. He was happy to answer our questions and it was so interesting listening to his stories, facts and jokes. Highly recommended!

      Was a decently long day and spent a few hours out on the water and saw so many whales and dolphins.
      Such a great day. Saw whales, dolphins and turtles. Was so beautiful and the water is calm and easy to get around in the kayaks.

      Very good guides, explaining the wild life and making you feel comfortable since minute one. Very respectful with animals and trying their best to get the chance to see dolphins and whales real close. Very recommended Pd: Vince does very good jokes

    What a splendid day out on the sea. The kids were so excited to get up close to dolphins. And seeing the whales on the bus on the way there was just spectacular. Grateful for the experience.

    A fantastic day with expert guides in a wonderful environment. The highlight was the pod of dolphins that swam all around us while we were paddling. The best day of our trip Noosa.

    This was a great wildlife experience with numerous sightings of birds of prey, dolphins and whales.
    It was unique to be kayaking amongst the humpbacks and dolphins.
