Noosa Everglades - Afternoon River Cruise

Description

The Noosa Everglades Afternoon River Cruise is a four-hour luxury tour that takes you deep into the mysterious and beautiful Noosa Everglades estuary system. A unique wilderness area with dark waters and a myriad of unique flora and fauna, the Everglades River Cruise is one you will never forget. Your spacious purpose built vessel, with large opening windows, allows for perfect viewing and photographic opportunities. Your skipper – who has more than twenty years’ experience, traversing the magnificent Noosa River – will ensure a fun and educational encounter. Recognised as a 'Wetland of International Importance', the Noosa Everglades is an unforgettable, once in a lifetime experience, through a stunning area where more than 1 365 plants have been identified. 

Pristine Wilderness
The calm dark waters of the Noosa River are home to a number of rare and threatened species, including dugongs, sea turtles, and in-shore dolphins. Look for them amid waving sea grass, mangrove swamps, and on mud and sand banks. You will spot a myriad of birds in these ancient swamplands, as it is an important area for migratory birds as much as for the native bird life.  With over 44% of all Australia's bird species residing in this region – as well as more than 700 native animals cohabiting in this spectacular wilderness area – photo opportunities abound.
