Sunshine Coast operator Saltwater Eco Tours has introduced new guided canoe tours, including equipment designed to support participation by wheelchair users and individuals with limited mobility.
The 90-minute tours take place twice a week and use six double canoes, each featuring a distinct Aboriginal design. Departing from The Wharf Mooloolaba, the tours follow a route along the Mooloolah River and are led by a First Nations guide. Cultural storytelling is incorporated throughout the journey, which takes place in a calm water environment suitable for all abilities.
Founder Simon Thornalley, a Saltwater Eco Tours director of Indigenous heritage, said the initiative aims to make nature-based experiences more accessible. The route includes stops at points of ecological interest, with morning tea provided.
Tours operate on Thursdays and Sundays from 08.00 to 10.00 and are priced at A$120 (US$80) per person, including equipment and refreshments. The minimum age is 12.
Private group sessions are available on Wednesdays during the same time slot.
