Navigate The Scenic Maroochy River At Your Own Pace With A Single Kayak Rental Experience


Immerse yourself in the tranquil environment of the Maroochy River, one of the most picturesque waterways located on the Sunshine Coast. This river is a haven for those seeking to unwind, offering calm waters and winding tributaries that invite you to connect deeply with nature. Whether your goal is to go bird-watching, sight-seeing, or simply enjoy the quiet rhythm of the local ecosystem, this river provides an ideal escape from the bustle of daily life.


The river system is navigable up to 20 kilometers from the river mouth, extending past the beautiful Dunethin Rock picnic area. This allows for a full day of exploration, where you can discover the diverse flora and fauna that thrive along the banks. The accessibility of the river makes it a perfect destination for solo adventurers who want to experience the stunning natural surroundings and peaceful waters at their own pace throughout the entire day.


The single kayaks provided are high-quality Viking Espri models, which are suitable for paddlers of all sizes and skill levels. These boats are pet-friendly, and because no boat license is required, the experience is open to everyone. Your hire includes a life jacket and insurance, ensuring that you are well-equipped for a safe journey. With up to eight hours of rental time, you have ample opportunity to paddle, relax, and explore the river's many hidden corners.


Experience the freedom of the open water as you glide through the serene Maroochy River. This activity is designed to be straightforward and enjoyable, allowing you to focus entirely on the beauty of the Sunshine Coast. From the moment you launch to the end of your eight-hour adventure, you will find that the river offers a unique and refreshing perspective on the local environment, making it a must-do for any nature lover visiting the region.

For years, the canoe centre has been my go-to supplier for all things kayaking, providing the essential gear for both my personal adventures and for the youth organisation I work for. I've bought everything from "tip to toe," and the level of service has never wavered. ​The staff are phenomenal first dealing with Shane & Ciaran to the last couple of years with Hugh they have consistently offered knowledgeable and supportive assistance. The online shop is very user-friendly, stocking strong, quality brands that focus on depth of quality. ​A recent experience highlights their exceptional commitment: When a package went missing after posting, the team at the canoe centre put my needs foremost and promptly dispatched a second package before the original was relocated by An Post. This kind of proactive, customer-first service is why I continue to go back. ​No matter the size of the purchase, I always feel valued and acknowledged. An absolutely stellar sales and support service. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Level 2 Kayaking Course with Keith! Keith was amazing — patient, knowledgeable, and knew exactly when to push us (and when not to!). We (Carmel and Sarah) were the two oldest in the group, with one of us new to kayaking, but he made it fun, supportive, and full of laughs. The group was an added bonus — we’re now all on WhatsApp calling ourselves The Liffey Lickers! Can’t wait for our next river trip with Keith to build on everything we learned.

The courses here are brilliant. Educational and very enjoyable. I would highly recommend them as they really boosted my confidence and skills. The coach, Keith, has a lovely manner that takes away any fear or apprehension. The shop itself ships out equipment fast and efficiently and advises about same over the phone without hesitation.
