A narrow, red-hued waterway zig-zagging through Cooloola National Park has abundant bird and fish life. The Noosa Everglades span around 60 km in total, best explored by canoe paddling through the breathtaking still waters that create mirror-like reflections; you won’t know whether you're looking up or down!
The Fig Tree Point to Harry's Hut stretch shines for its beauty and bass fishing spots. At some points, you will find yourself drifting under low-reaching gum trees, making the journey interesting and fun! There are campsites approximately every 3 km. Our top pick is Campsite 3, where you can walk up to the Cooloola Sand patch for a dreamy sunrise.
This is a ‘don’t miss’ activity in the area. One of only two Everglades systems in the world, it's a mesmerising experience with abundant wildlife, mirror-like waters, and picturesque camping spots. Our top pick if you’re after a tranquil wilderness escape.
Views: Breathtaking panoramas of Noosa, Noosa North Shore, Lake Cootharaba, Double Island Point, Cooloola National Park, the Everglades, waterholes, sand patches, and Lake Poona.
Wildlife: A thriving ecosystem with lots of fish and bird life.
Difficulty: No matter the wind, it’s generally beautiful calm waters that are a breeze to paddle through. The distance is the only element of difficulty, so it's up to you how far into the Everglades you’d like to explore.
Favourite Parts: The mirror-like reflection on the still water is breathtaking! We enjoyed the journey from Fig Tree Point to Harry’s Hut most of all, with the thriving wildlife.
