Serenity Cruise to Australia's Everglades
Description
The Noosa River system is unique as its entire upper catchment is protected in National Park. Throughout the afternoon cruise take the opportunity to observe and photograph the spectacular mirrored waterways and unique eco system. Australia’s Everglades are found in the Northern end of the Noosa River system, perched within the sand dunes of the Cooloola National Park. An untouched, pristine wilderness area awaits you…. Pure freshwater pulses out of the Cooloola Sandmass and filters through the tea tree infused ecosystem into this unique river system - creating the most spectacular reflections you will ever see. Enjoy a complimentary glass of “Beer OR Bubbles” whilst gliding down the reflective waterways of Australia’s Everglades. Watch the stunning colour changes as the sun sets slowly over this magnificent wilderness area before returning to Habitat Noosa Everglades Eco Camp.

Itinerary
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.

Super amazing experience, nice shift between boot and walk.
We were super lucky with the weather so it was beautiful all day. I was worried it might feel like a long boat ride but we found it to be perfect - the shuttle bus was extremely efficient and the staff on the cruise itself had contagious enthusiasm. Would definitely recommend!
Personally I would have liked the tour to have been split in some form so that overseas visitors enjoyed the time to search for wildlife I know what koala look like and was a bit disappointed with not finding much - maybe it was the time of year However the tour guide was informative and the serenity appreciated. More information to take warmer clothes would have helped and maybe an he earlier start might avoid getting back in the dark
Was okay but there is not enough to see to warrant a 3 hour boot cruise. An hour on the boat would be more than enough.
Beautiful tour through nature, where everything was well arranged.
This tour was very enjoyable. It was great that there was a choice of activity and we chose the boat cruise and short walk. The crew were very friendly and helpful.
The tour turned up very little wildlife and some of that would have been due to the noise and intoxication on the vessel. For a serenity tour it was anything, but I would suggest going on the earlier tour where alcohol is not served.
Serenity in the everglades, well organised, lovely, knowledgeable staff, Peter has local knowledge from childhood ! Loved it
Well organised and easy, with a great shuttle bus connection that meets up with public transport. Although it was easy and comfortable, with prosecco, yay, it also felt like a proper little adventure. Trevor, the tour guide and pilot, was knowledgeable and answered questions generously. Jane, the guide, was friendly and helpful. The tour crossed from the estuarine waters to freshwater, and it was very beautiful. I only wish ot was longer!
It was a great afternoon. Well organised, friendly crew with lots of knowledge of area . It was great to enjoy this unique waterway with people from all over the world
