About
Noosa's original ocean tour company and consistently voted the best. Choose from the Adventure Tour, Dolphin Safari or Whale Watching Tour; an Oceanrider tour is a ‘must-do’ on the list of ‘things to do in Noosa’ Twelve passengers seated in six rows of two means that everyone gets a ‘window seat’ and a personalized experience that only a small group allows. Our RIB boat is the same that the Navy, Coast Guard, and Water Police use, which reflects its reliability and high safety standards. Your Captain Christian has extensive Australian maritime experience, so you are in good hands. For more information on the boat read the respective blogs on our website. Come and enjoy the tour of your choice and take in the beautiful Noosa coast from a different perspective.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Far exceeded our expectations. Christian was an amazing guide/driver and we couldn’t recommend him enough. If you want to see the beauty of Noosa from the water, with a little action & dolphins in between then this one is for you!

Amazing trip out with Christian picked up the boat from Noosa marina out on the ocean for around 45/60 minutes. Very experienced captain took as up the coast to hells gate with a few great spins on the way. Thoroughly recommend this Noosa experience

Good short trip for whale watching but probably too late in the season ( late Oct) to see anything. We saw dolphins but no whales.

Hi Colin, Happy to hear you enjoyed your tour. During 2023 whale season we have had 99.9 % success rate in finding whales. We found whales the day before your tour breaching and tail slapping. Check out our instagram @noosaoceanrider and all the amazing whales our customers encounter this season.

Great fun, saw whales. Boat fun, bumpy on big waves but best way to get quickly to where whales are.

Comfortable and safe ride out into Noosa Bay. Saw a few mother whales and their calves up close, flapping fins and tails. The weather was great, the water was calm and the ride was a great adventure

What a glorious experience!!! Jumping over the waves, flying above turquoise water trying to spot a whale, and the engine became quiet. Our skipper Christian said we are in ‘neutral’. And then we saw a tail…once you see and hear a whale, it's something you'll never forget. We were lucky enough to see a whale breach, that was OMG moment (my photos don’t capture the hundredth of the real feeling) thank you Christian for this fantastic experience 🐋
