Detailed itinerary

1

Start your journey with incredible views over Noosa at the only location where you can view all 5 of Noosa’s mountains. Enjoy breathtaking views of the beginning of Noosa’s Everglade system and Noosa River.
Your guide leads you on a gentle 30-minute walk. Learn about our koala population, biodiversity, bush tucker, and both Colonial and Indigenous history.

2
Stop 2

You finish the first leg of the trail with a guided stroll along the world famous Noosa Beach and the waters of Laguna Bay, and the World Surf Reserve.

3

Rest your feet as you take a seat aboard the Noosa Ferry. Enjoy views of million dollar mansions lining the waterfront while getting your orientation on our incredible river system, which is the backbone of the Noosa Everglades.
Relax on the banks of the Noosa River with coffees, refreshments, and a swim. You’ll enjoy uninterrupted views of the spectacular river mouth and its ever-shifting sandbanks. At low tides, see thousands of soldier crabs and flocks of rare birdlife stopping on the North Shore during their migrations.

4

Your journey carries on via 2 wheels to Lake Weyba…ride a short, flat bike path on comfortable and easy-to-ride bikes (think cruisers and bikes in Amsterdam). The cycle route is very safe and easy, so suits all ages and fitness levels (it’s a gentle 15-min ride).

5

Finish your ride at Lake Weyba, the southern end of the Noosa Everglades. Embark on an extremely light and easy kayak in perfectly calm waters requiring no experience or fitness. Explore a sheltered mangrove bay to learn about the incredible ecosystem of the Noosa Everglades. Lucky guests may even spot local stingrays, as the mangroves visited are part of a stingray sanctuary. This final leg of the journey lasts for approx. 40 minutes with minimal paddling needed.
