The ultimate panorama of Noosa is just a short drive from the town’s bustling hub of Hastings Street, and provides sweeping views that extend out as far as the Glasshouse Mountains in the distance and across the Noosa River.

Next stop is Hastings Street where you will enjoy 90 minutes’ free time to explore Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach. You will have plenty of time to grab a coffee or browse the many shops along Hastings Street or take a walk to Noosa National Park.

Noosa Main Beach is one of the few beaches along Australia’s coastline facing north and is the best option for families or those who are not confident in the surf, as it is protected by the headland, has gentle waves and is patrolled year-round by surf lifesavers.

Noosa Everglades Serentiy Cruise

After lunch enjoy a 20-minute scenic drive through Noosaville & Tewantin past the forrestry plantations before arriving at Habitat Noosa Everglades Eco Camp, recently awarded Australia’s Best New Tourism Business, where you’ll depart on an afternoon Serenity Cruise, on Lake Cootharaba, heading north up the Upper Noosa River to Fig Tree Point ( historic indigenious location ) past the Kinaba Information Centre. This is the start of the Noosa Everglades.

Onboard you’ll enjoy a glass of bubble and light savory afternoon tea before returning to Habitat Noosa with the sun lowering over the lake to end what is an amazing full day in Noosa.
