Itinerary

Discover whale watching by kayak in a truly natural, low-impact way. No crowded boat tours. Enjoy quiet, respectful encounters with whales in the Great Sandy National Park. Beach 4x4 Drive Included! This is whale watching without engines, noise, or crowds, allowing for a truly respectful and immersive wildlife experience that larger boat tours simply can’t offer. We never chase or disturb marine life. Instead, we observe whales on their terms, creating safe, natural encounters that align with conservation and responsible wildlife tourism. During the whale migration season, humpbacks are commonly seen from the moment we begin our scenic 4WD beach drive along Noosa North Shore. On the water, sightings can range from very close, unforgettable encounters to more distant surface activity. Every tour is different, and that’s what makes it special. Beyond whales, you may also encounter dolphins, turtles, and rays throughout the journey. The destination, Double Island Point, is a truly unique National Park location. Accessed only by 4WD through Noosa North Shore and Teewah Beach, Double Island Point feels worlds away from busy Noosa and tourist boat routes.
