DESCRIPTION
Take a thrilling Noosa Stand Up Paddle eco Adventure to Sunshine Coast’s hidden tropical wildlife paradise, Double Island Point. The spectacular wind swept coloured sand cliffs protect many of the flat water lagoons and much of Honeymoon Bay making for an ideal natural environment to explore and experience the local wildlife on a guided stand up paddle lesson.
DOUBLE ISLAND POINT:
Located within Noosa’s Great Sandy National Park and can only be accessed by 4X4 along Teewah Beach around the low tide. The location is typically remote, uncrowded and perfect for stand up paddling with crystal clear flat water lagoons and a super long sandy point break ideal for beginners, intermediate and advanced exploring the Marine Park or looking to take the next step into the waves. If your already well advanced in stand up paddling then why not come and explore the magical waters of Honeymoon Bay in Noosa’s pristine Great Sandy National Park.
Expect to see many of the local wildlife on your stand up paddle tour with six of the world’s seven marine sea turtle species found here including the Green Sea turtle, Loggerhead and Hawksbill. Often with an excellent view on stand up paddle they can be seen feeding and resting in the shallows.
