Mooloolaba, QUEENSLAND
Airing Date: Jan 1st, 2002
Sea kayaks are suitable for beginners as well as the advanced kayaker, and are very easy to use.
A great place to experience the activity is in Mooloolaba on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
Mooloolaba is about a 90-minute drive from Brisbane and a ride in a sea kayak gives you a unique view of the magnificent shoreline.
The half-day tour is relaxed so you don't have to be an iron man or woman to keep up.
Once you have finished, why not head thirty minutes north to the Noosa Harbour Marine Village at Tewantin?
This is the starting point for a mud crab adventure where, armed with your bait, tinned food and guide, you'll trudge down the Noosa River in search of mud crabs. The best thing about this tour is that you will get to eat what you catch, making it a healthy and very fresh lunch.
