Noosa Everglades is a pristine natural haven. Only a 40-minute drive away from Noosa Heads, the Noosa Everglades is a windy river that gently weaves through untouched wetlands.

Explore the River of Mirrors

Also known as the River of Mirrors, the surface of the Noosa Everglades is dark and glassy, thanks to the infusion of tea trees that hug the water’s edge. The setting is beautiful, and you won’t find anywhere else like it. Not only is it one-of-a-kind in Australia, but it’s also one of the only Everglades in the whole world.

A natural hub of Queensland’s quintessential wildlife, the river meanders amongst a windy river path framed by green leafy surroundings.
