What To Expect
Paddle down hidden waterways in the scenic beauty right at Noosa Heads on a guided wildlife eco-kayak tour. Experience hidden mangrove tunnels and look for a variety of unique birds and sting rays.
The tour begins at the serene hidden waterways right at Noosa Heads, a stunning mangrove ecosystem known for its perfectly calm, shallow waters and rich biodiversity. The name “Weyba” comes from the Aboriginal word for “Stingray,” and with so many of these graceful creatures calling the creek home, you’ll quickly see why.
As we paddle, you’ll float through enchanting mangrove tunnels. These natural pathways, created by dense mangrove growth along the edges and over the tops of narrow creeks and lakes, are a surreal and mystical experience.
Accompanied by expert guides, you’ll also learn insights about the incredible flora and fauna that call this unique environment home.
There is a nice spot along the way where we will stop so you can have a quick and refreshing swim. This is totally optional though!
Join us for a relaxing and fun paddle through Noosa's hidden mangrove tunnels!
