Three Noosaville operators take groups out to see wildlife, and they split into two styles. Noosa Ocean Adventures and Noosa Wave Ocean Adventures run fast boats out to sea for dolphins, turtles and humpbacks, while Noosa River & Canal Cruises keeps to calmer water on the river and canals.

Group size and how much sea time your guests can handle will usually decide it.
