Memorable visit. Felt lile I could have been in Kakadu National Park but without the crocodiles. Black mirrors of nature instead of screens feeds my soul. Paddled back from Harry's Hut to canoe lanch pt. Had a chance to have a swim in the tea tree water. Highly recommend this active tour. Will return for afternoon tour with my parents next month.

From the moment we set off, the surroundings were nothing short of stunning. Calm, mirrored waters reflect the paperbark trees and sky so perfectly it’s like paddling through a painting. The stillness and quiet were a highlight - no crowds, just the sounds of nature and the splash of our paddle. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the local ecosystem which made the experience even more engaging.

The tour was exactly as we hoped and more! Helpful and patient guides helped us see the koala and gave lots of information on the Everglades in general. Very relaxing and well managed to Tour.

Staff were friendly and knowledgable. Enjoyed the canoeing on the Everglades but did feel a bit rushed. Would have enjoyed more time with this and focus more on the wildlife but a good tour overall.

We enjoyed our full day tour exploring the Noosa Everglades. We began by getting the transfer bus from Chinadina in Noosa, and were surprised to see the size of the bus pick us up. Felt very special and luxurious, it was comfy, spacious and on time! After 30mins of the drive, we arrived at Habitat Noosa, which was buzzing with happy campers & glampers and day trippers. This would be so busy during school holidays! There is a cafe/restaurant and you’ll have time to grab a coffee as the tour didn’t start til about 9am. We were super lucky that the weather cleared up & stayed fine for our morning tour. Exploring the landscape was amazing, we didn’t see many animals so perhaps too cool for them. Our skipper was very knowledgeable and had some good humour, very enjoyable tour. They provide morning tea at Harry’s Hut - fruits, muffins, and juice. We canoed the 5km stretch on the return leg, and didn’t see any koala’s unfortunately. Only recommendation here is, wish they had double ended paddles not single paddles - prepare for some sore muscle, but it’s all worth it for the experience. Upon our return to Habitat Noosa, we had about 1.5-2hours free time to explore, so after a meal (service was so quick!) for lunch we grabbed the transfer bud back to town. We weren’t prepared for this amount of free time so this time could become boring for some if not prepared. Overall it was a wonderful, big day out and would recommend anyone wanting to get back to nature 🍃

It was a great experience. Rowing 5 kilometers was not very tiring, and I saw many water birds and water lilies. The scenery was very beautiful, and the captain was experienced.

Good time with the family Fun to do the canoe. Not that many animals to see. The tour was well prepared and organized. Could have done with a bit more time to swim and a bit more sightings

It was great to get to experience the Noosa Everglades and hear all about them from the knowledgeable and experienced tour guides. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Noosa

Very informative and saw plenty of wildlife! I appreciate there being a courtesy shuttle. Got lucky with the weather :) Our skipper really made the tour! He was very knowledgeable and funny. I really liked listening to him talk. During the boat ride we saw lots of birds such as pelicans, a cormorant, some black swans, a kingfisher, tawny frogmouths, a Willie wagtail, and an osprey! It's also possible to see koalas though they were hiding from us. Springtime should be better for sightings. There were 2 boats - boat 1 would stop at Fig Tree Point and canoe up to Harry's Hut while the other would do the opposite. I was in boat 2 so we went straight to the hut. The description of the tour only really described boat 1. So I didn't expect this but didn't mind. The opposite direction also meant canoeing with our backs against the sun so that was preferable. When the boat stopped, we got about a 30 min break before it was time to canoe. Here we could use the toilets (no toilet on the boat), walk to Harry's Hut, swim in the tea tree infused river, and/or enjoy refreshments. The hut was a very short walk. It's a hut, not much to look at. The refreshments included muffins, oranges, orange juice, and apple juice. Then it was canoe time. There are 2 and 3 person canoes. As an amateur canoer, I was more focused on moving the boat than taking in the scenery but it was still fun. I think it's a definite must to canoe if you do this tour. Otherwise the price I don't think is as worth it. You would probably be better off signing up for the serenity tour in that case. When we got back to fig tree point, we also had the option to swim again. The tour listing also mentioned a rainforest walk at Fig tree point. I believe this was just the walk from the boat to the canoe launch site. Once everyone returned, the boat headed back to the camp. We had about 1.5 hours of free time until the shuttle back. I walked about the camp and saw some monitor lizards and kangaroos. Aside from that the camp wasn't that interesting if you weren't getting food/drinks. I suppose you could also swim here too.
