Tourism Noosa volunteers converged on Pelican Boat Hire last Wednesday to enjoy morning tea and be given an update on river experiences available from many of the local marine tourism operators.
Pelican Boat Hire owner Craig McGovern said the Noosa River was a unique destination for locals and visitors and provides a vast range of river, ocean and land-based adventures and activities.
“Our showcase is an opportunity to help the Visitor Information Centre volunteers meet the operators, understand the range and be able to help guests to our region have memorable experiences on the incredible Noosa River.
“Pelican Boat Hire’s marina is the starting point for many of these adventures and works in partnership with the region’s best operators,“ he said.
The volunteers jumpd on board for site inspections, from beautiful self-drive luxury pontoons, to stand up paddle boards and kayaks.
They got to see a demonstration of how nauticycles and efoil’s work and Deep Sea Fishing Co shared what’s been biting and some of the best fishing spots.
There were updates on how the whale season is going with Ocean Rider and how close the dolphins come to the kayak tours operated by Epic Ocean Adventures.
Coast Hinterland Tours shared some of their exciting new scenic day tours and Bike On Noosa showed how to never get lost on their bikes with their carefully curated self-guided tours with GPS supported directions.
It wouldn’t be a Noosa River event without the Noosa Ferry and of course the insightful stories from Captain Gary of the Noosa River & Canal Cruise. Eco Qld also showcased their cruises through the mirrored waterways of Australias’ only everglades.
Tourism Noosa’s volunteers play a vital role in helping guests to this region experience all that is on offer. This showcase ensured they were better equipped to direct customer inquiries to the most appropriate operator as well as ensure they fully understood the high standard of operations, vessels and experiences that are uniquely available on the Noosa River.
