Paddle across the tranquil waters of Lake Cootharaba with Noosa River Eco Adventures. This part-day SUP rental offers a unique way to combine fitness and fresh air in Queensland’s stunning freshwater environment.
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.
