Amazing experience - We went with a group of friends to celebrate the birthday of one of them. We went on the morning cruise and paddling with canoes in the Everglades was a unique experience. if you have a chance to do it, don't miss it, highly recommend and we enjoyed a lunch after the cruise. It was very good.

Everglades Eco Safaris River Cruise Noosa - My Husband and I had a lovely day on board , We cruised up the upper part of Noosa river to Harry's Hut through the everglades, the scenery was absolutely breathtaking ,we took some amazing photos. The skipper(aka Brad Pitt) was very friendly and full of local knowledge that we found very interesting. The whole trip had a lovely relaxing feel about it. We were offered to canoe a portion of the river that we did not partake in due to injuries but it looked like so much fun that we plan to book again when feeling better so that we can join in. All in all, perfect location on a perfect winters day.

The magic of the Everglades - Fabulous day...thought it dragged out a bit though, considering it was described as a 4.5hr tour. We left at 800 and returned at 340pm.

Great trip for young and fit - Enjoyable but Serenity Cruise would probably have been a better choice for non kayakers. This option for backpackers seeking a novel adventure. Perhaps improve info at time of booking.

Adult family visit - We booked this through our tour operator in the UK (Trailfinders). We had a good time, it was an early start but worth it. I wish I had bought a coffee at the start point as the morning tea didn't include tea or coffee! The canoeing was a bit more challenging than we expected, it took us about 1h15 to get back! All in all a good tour.
