Rated 4 stars as everything was mostly good and well organised. The crew were amazing and love that drinks were included in the price. The only constructive comment I have is that very young children/babies should perhaps not be allowed or be put on the same boat all together - as the cruise isn’t as enjoyable when there are very loud babies screaming and crying the entire time scaring away all the wildlife.

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….

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.

Fabulous experience. Serenity indeed! A look into a truly unique environment.
Great tour guide and captain on the boat, very informative and engaging. Very relaxing and fun and stunningly beautiful. We did wish there was something to eat, some kind of snack, to go along with the alcohol served. Luckily I called the tour before hand other wise we may have missed the start. The boat trip started at 2pm. We thought we were being picked up at Noosa Heads at 2pm. We were actually picked up at Noosa Heads at 1.09pm.
Superb experience from the bus pick up through the tour and to our eventual drop off. Perfect!! The bus driver was funny and helpful. Pete the captain was brilliant. Funny, engaging, knowledgeable and more. Sunny was lovely, helpful, supportive and welcoming. I recommend this tour to everyone
Great trip to a special place. The skipper was very knowledgeable about the area and its history. The crew were also great. One of the highlights of our two week visit to Queensland.
You could spot a koala in the trees, snakes in the river and kingfishers flying about! Excellent fun
A great way to view a unique eco system with knowledgeable guides. 1 of 2 Everglades in the world! A relaxing and informative activity! Thoroughly recommend.
Informative, relaxing experience through the waters of Australias Everglades. Great commentary explaining the fauna and flora of the glades. Sightings of two koalas in their own private habitat.
Enjoyable and interesting cruise through the everglades. It was a very windy day so the journey across the lake to the Everglades was choppy but the majority of the trip was calm & serene. Saw lots of wildlife and the captain and his assistant were excellent.
Wonderful afternoon out. Very peaceful & beautiful scenery & lucky to see two Kingfishers. Very knowledgeable & funny guide. Clearly very passionate about wildlife & the environment. Highly recommend!!
