About this tour
This eight-hour Sunshine Coast loop starts with a pickup from your accommodation and takes you through Noosa's best pockets: browse Hastings Street's boutiques and cafés, ferry across the river to a two-course lunch at a riverside restaurant, then drift through the Noosa Everglades on a three-hour cruise spotting native birds and waterways. Light snacks bookend the experience, and you'll have pockets of free time to wander beaches or national park trails before heading back.
Highlights
- Ferry crossing up the Noosa River to Tewantin Marina
- Two-course lunch with wine or beer overlooking the water
- Three-hour Everglades Serenity Cruise through mangroves and waterways

What to expect
Pick-up happens between 8:20–9:30 am depending on your location. You'll spend the morning exploring Hastings Street's shops and sandy stretches, then board the ferry for a scenic river journey. Lunch arrives with water views and a glass in hand at a quality restaurant. The Everglades cruise—the tour's centrepiece—is slow and quiet; expect to see brolgas, osprey, and banksia flowers reflected in still water. The pace suits all fitness levels. You're back at accommodation by 5:45–6:45 pm.
