Noosa Everglades, one of the two only everglade systems on earth

Discover Noosa Everglades in a classic Canadian canoe. The area is known as ‘the river of mirrors’ due to the spectacular reflections in the water. Stretching over 60 kilometres, it’s a place to experience the ultimate tranquillity. And along the way, admire magnificent flora and fauna.


Start your journey with a pick up from Noosa and adventure towards Lake Cootharaba. At Fig Tree Point, you will hop into your canoe and start paddling upstream. Take in the ancient landscape and subtropical rainforest that surrounds you.

A place where 44% of all Australian bird species live and 1365 plant species have been recognised. Over 700 native animals co-exist in this protective haven. After your canoe ride, enjoy a morning tea (specially prepared by your guide) while taking in the tranquil sounds of nature at the historic Harry’s Hut.

Afterwards, take a relaxing, leisurely river cruise back to Noosa Habitat, whereby a delicious Aussie roast lunch awaits you (vegetarian/vegan is available on request). The perfect way to end the day in this incredible part of the world.
