Highlights
  • Everglades - The Noosa River system is unique as its entire upper catchment is protected in National Park. Throughout your cruise take the opportunity to observe and photograph the unique beauty of an everglades eco system. While viewing wildlife is never guaranteed on tour, many guests have spotted a variety of bird species and several kangaroos and goannas upon returning to Habitat.

discover an unspoiled part of Noosa - Australia’s Everglades. Pristine water full of life. Our Guide kept us consumed with the beauty of the place and the knowledge he shared was fantastic. I recommend this great half day tour to everyone!

At the end of the tour, maybe go for a walk around Habitat Noosa and maybe even spot a few of our local kangaroos before concluding a great afternoon in Australia’s only Everglades.

What's Included
  • Live commentary on board
  • Sparkling wine and beer
Additional Information

The Noosa River system shines in its uniqueness by having its entire upper catchment under National Park protection. On your afternoon voyage, seize the chance to behold and capture images of the remarkable mirror-like waterways and the distinctive ecosystem.

Australia’s Everglades are situated at the northern tip of the Noosa River system, nestled in the sand dunes of the Cooloola National Park. An unspoiled, untouched natural haven awaits your discovery….

This region is a host to over 44% of Australia’s bird species. Pure, unadulterated fresh water springs from the Cooloola Sandmass and permeates through the tea tree rich environment into this distinctive river system - leading to the creation of the most amazing mirror-like reflections you will ever witness.

Savor a complimentary glass of “Beer OR Bubbles” while you coast on the reflective channels of Australia’s Everglades. Observe the striking transformations of colour as the sunset paints the horizon over this marvellous unspoiled area before heading back to Habitat Noosa Everglades Eco Camp.

A Great Experience - This was a very good Eco Cruise...part of our Reunion in Noosaville with 18 people. The weather wasn't that great but the scenery in the Everglades was exceptional and was enjoyed by all. Great commentary from the skipper . If you are in the area take this cruise.. remember there are only 2 Everglades in the World.

Great experience - Very informative tour with unique and beautiful scenery. We also spotted some wildlife along the way. Refreshments were good, particularly the lake take brewed on site.

Great time, loved the Everglades - this was our 2nd visit - This was our 2nd tour…we loved the tour so much we came back! Took the complementary bus to get there this time to avoid traffic delays on the Bruce H’way. Had to plan our accommodation to do this. Allowed extra time for bus transfers. Compared to hot HUMID December; May was comfortable. Will definitely return…I want to see the water lilies. If you are young, fit and can swim … do the longer tour and add canoeing.

Serenity Indeed - A delightful afternoon on the water crossing Lake Cootharaba then entering the river channels and smaller lakes to explore the rapidly changing environments. In the sheltered waters the reflections were amazing. The boatman/guide was informative and amusing. The cold drinks, including one of the beers from Habitat Noosa's microbrewery, were welcome and refreshing on a warm sunny afternoon. Serenity indeed.

Peaceful, beautiful - So peaceful in the Everglades. The boat was perfect for the experience. The bubbles and juice were a nice addition. I would have liked more commentary as I love to learn about different environments.

Serenity with a touch of Aussie humour! - This really is a serenity cruise. The peacefulness was interspersed with our guide's laconic Aussie narration - informative and humorous at the same time. Although we didn't spot any koalas, we saw and heard lots of different birds and had the opportunity to take wonderful photos of the "reflections". Highly recommend to both Aussies and International visitors. I never knew Australia has the only everglades system in the world outside of Florida.

Peaceful cruise in scenic everglades - Spent a very rainy afternoon on this cruise. Once we cruised off the tidal lake into the Everglades a peaceful oasis awaited us. I would have liked commentary to focus more detail on the flora and fauna. Whilst boat has a roof there is some exposure to elements so sensible shoes and rain jacket worthwhile.
