Operated by Noosa River Eco Adventures · Como, Queensland
Set against the quiet beauty of Como, Queensland, Noosa River Eco Adventures offers an approachable way to spend a full day on the water with their 13-foot aluminium Tinnie Motor Boat. This no-license-required vessel, equipped with a reliable 9 horsepower tiller motor, invites anglers of all skill levels to dive into a relaxed fishing trip or simply enjoy the calm expanses of the local waterways. The stable design and bench seating provide both comfort and confidence whether you’re casting lines or cruising between fishing spots.
Como's freshwater reaches, part of the broader Noosa River system, present an often-underappreciated locale rich with native wildlife and aquatic species. The open deck with a shade canopy allows you to soak in Queensland’s subtropical sun while sheltering comfortably during warmer months—a practical feature enhancing the day’s adventure without complicating the simple pleasure of spending hours on water.
Noosa River Eco Adventures stands out in this region thanks to its focus on easy access and eco-conscious boating experiences. By offering a stable, user-friendly Tinnie rather than complex watercraft, the outfitter ensures visitors can focus on the fishing or scenic voyage without the hassle of licensing or steep learning curves. This approach makes the activity particularly suitable for groups of friends or family seeking a casual outdoor escape.
Beyond fishing, the site offers a glimpse of local fauna including various bird species endemic to Queensland’s waterways and the chance to witness the natural interplay of river and estuarine ecosystems. The company’s base at Elanda Point Road also situates you conveniently within a region of protected natural reserves, enhancing the connection between recreation and conservation. Whether this is your first outing on the water or you’re a seasoned angler, the Tinnie Motor Boat experience here is a grounded, accessible way to engage with Queensland’s aquatic outdoors.

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.
