Cruise deep into the calm, mirrored waterways of the Noosa Everglades, Australia's only Everglades, on this 4.5-hour tour. Known as the "River of Mirrors", this network of wetlands and pristine wilderness lies at the northern end of the Noosa River system and stretches across two UNESCO Biosphere Reserves, Noosa and Great Sandy. The tour departs from Habitat Noosa Everglades eco camp at Boreen Point aboard a purpose-built vessel, with full commentary throughout. The first stop is Fig Tree Point, where you can leave the boat for a 600 m circuit walk. From there you either stay on board and cruise upstream, or join the 5 km canoe trek through the subtropical landscape. Morning tea is served at Harry's Hut, once home to teams of timber millers, before the leisurely cruise back. Many of Australia's bird species live here, and more than 1,365 plant species have been identified in the region. A shared shuttle transfer from Noosa is included, and lunch and craft beer from the on-site microbrewery can be bought at CootharaBAR & Bistro after the cruise.
