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.

It was a clear blue sky day yet with a bit of wind so glad i wore a light jacket. I also read the information from the company saying that it might be low tide so be prepared to wade out to the boat, some people weren’t aware so were caught out with jeans and sneakers on! Lovely still waters have fabulous photos of the vegetation mirrored in the water. Not many birds or wildlife though one koala put on a show of scratching himself in a tall gum just before we left the narrows! The crew were fabulous, quite funny and very knowledgeable. An activity I would do once.
A fantastic experience with one of the best tour guides you could hope to have. One of the best tours i have been on. Frank
Great experience of the Everglades- beautiful scenery, birdlife and great reflections. Well organised and ran to time. Definitely need more female toilets.
Fantastic crew. The skipper was very knowledgeable and Jan was super friendly and had some great tales to tell about the native flora when we did the short walk.
Great afternoon with the boys at Noosa Habitat. The experience getting on and off the boat was fun due to the water being shallow but this added to the experience. Prosecco and bee offered . Saw some beautiful wildlife too and got amazing pics
Fantastic experience, well informed, treasure of Australia, Dan and Susie
The Everglades Serenity Tour offered a stunning glimpse into the natural beauty of the Everglades, though our trip was light on bird sightings. For those new to boating, the experience would be quite impressive. I was, however, concerned about the young lad tasked with pushing the fully loaded boat to deeper water. Additionally, the young hostess's attire seemed inappropriate for a professional setting. Overall, Everglades Eco Safaris provided a memorable outing, with room for improvement in presentation and staff roles.
Such a beautiful experience . Seamless in booking and information prior to the day was easy to follow and enabled us to prepare. The actual trip was AMAZING. Thank you 🤩
A lovely peaceful afternoon on the Everglades. Funny and knowledgeable guide and boat captain. A lovely glass of bubbly mid cruise. Lots of bird life and we spotted a koala in a tree. Incredible reflections. We drove to Boreen Point and it was relaxing to walk around the grounds first.
Great experience and well worth doing. Beautiful reflections on the water.
