Operated by Noosa River Eco Adventures · Como, Queensland
Noosa River, winding through Queensland’s verdant landscape near the town of Como, offers paddle enthusiasts an inviting aquatic playground. Noosa River Eco Adventures presents a practical, no-nonsense opportunity to get on the water: their 1-person kayak hires provide an accessible way to push off and chart your own course along the river’s calm stretches. This isn’t a guided tour but a chance for solo adventurers to engage directly with the environment, using robust recreational kayaks designed for short-term rental.
The rental kayaks are tough, constructed from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and built to handle the gentle currents and occasional gusts common to Noosa’s river system. With a load capacity up to 110 kg, these kayaks come equipped with front and rear storage compartments, perfect for stashing snacks, a camera, or lightweight gear. Molded carry handles make loading and unloading straightforward—a useful feature for those balancing transport with packing.
Noosa River itself is known for its clean waters framed by a unique mix of coastal forest and mangrove-lined banks. Paddlers can expect to spot native birdlife like pelicans and sea eagles or perhaps a shy dugong beneath the surface. The river’s ecological significance is noted by ongoing conservation efforts aimed at maintaining water quality and protecting the surrounding habitats.
Rentals from Noosa River Eco Adventures operate from their base at Elanda Point Road, offering a convenient entry point to the river. The company’s focus on ease and accessibility makes it a standout choice for visitors looking to carve out a few hours of active downtime without committing to a full guided expedition. Whether you’re local or visiting the region, this service complements the diverse outdoor activities of the area, providing a fresh way to engage with one of Queensland’s celebrated waterways.

Noosa River Eco Adventures operates from Como, Queensland and specialises in small-boat and paddlecraft hires for Lake Cootharaba. The business provides a range of rental options including single and double kayaks, two- and three-person canoes, stand-up paddleboards (SUP), and a stable 13ft aluminium Tinnie equipped with a 9 horsepower motor. Hires are offered as part-day, full-day and multi-day options, with specific zone restrictions noted for shorter and extended trips (Zones 1–6 depending on the package). The Tinnie is an open-style aluminium boat with a shade cover and does not require a boat licence to operate under the stated motor specification. Equipment is suited to recreational use on Lake Cootharaba: recreational kayaks with storage and easy-transport features, multi-person canoes for families and groups, and SUP boards for fitness and exploration. Multi-day canoe hires require self-sufficiency and timely returns so the next guests can use the equipment. Pickup and return take place at the Como launch location. Rentals are structured to accommodate shore launches and local exploration up to the permitted zone limits. Noosa River Eco Adventures focuses on straightforward rental terms and clear zone guidance to help visitors plan safe, enjoyable paddling and small-boat outings on Lake Cootharaba.
