Tell Me More!
Explore the mysterious, tucked-away maze of canals renowned as the Noosa Everglades. An utterly hidden gem nestled in the belly of the Sunshine Coast, Noosa is home to one of only two everglade systems in the world.
So "what is an everglade?" you may ask! It's an ecosystem of tropical wetlands, fringed with tall grasses and naturally home to a diverse variety of plants and animals. The only other everglade is located in Florida, and the Noosa Everglades are undeniably far less well-known than its US cousin. In fact, this special destination is incredibly untouched and pristine, making it a perfect habitat for over 44% of Australia's birdlife, and countless other species.
Take the cruise of a lifetime as your skipper navigates a maze of waterway systems, fringed by towering eucalypt forests, tall grasses and mysterious mangroves. A must-see bucket list item for adventure and nature lovers, the Noosa Everglades is a simply breathtaking wonder. Sit back, relax and spot wildlife and native flora from panoramic windows. Enjoy excellent service from your crew and a glass of complimentary bubbly! As the sun is setting, head to the only bar and bistro nearby for a delicious meal (at your own cost). Combining both little luxuries and the pure magic of this unique Australian landscape, the Everglades Serenity Cruise is an incredible way to discover this slice of paradise!

Absolute must do for those visiting Noosa. Very interesting and informative experience - and so different to the rest of the Sunshine Coast. Very comfortable boat. Habitat Noosa the campsite is really well appointed (you don't have to camp - but there is lovely food at the cafe and loads and loads of kangaroos!!) Pete the skipper and guide was absolutely brilliant - very much a local brought up in the everglades area - everything was very clear and well laid out - with good funny bits - and lots to see - the amazing reflections in the water, the bird life, we saw a koala - it was fabulous! Would definitely recommend it. Loved it.

We set off into a rain shower which looked set to ruin the tour, but fortunately cleared perfectly just as we entered the Everglades. Peter, our tour guide/skipper was great fun and informative. He pointed out many various aspects of the Everglades as we passed through, even reversing the boat to view some blue kingfishers (birds) at one stage. Certainly an informative and relaxing cruise through a rare and unique area of Australia. Getting us all back to the dock with just enough time to shelter from a huge tropical storm that we could all see heading our way, was very much appreciated too!! Well done Peter. Thank you.

This is an interesting tour that has much promise of seeing wildlife, but you’re in the lap of the Gods as to whether it will oblige on the day of your tour! Sadly for us the more exotic encounters with ospreys or eagles didn’t materialise but we did see a couple of types of cormorant and a pelican as we crossed the lake to the Everglades. Harry the skipper kept up an interesting commentary about the area and its history as well as pointing out natural flora and fauna. Christina the hostess meanwhile kept everyone topped up with the complimentary beer, Prosecco and juices! Spotting birds is always subject to luck but taking the tour is a great way to see a unique environment and get some great photos of the mirror river
