Tour Operator details
Golden beaches, majestic sand dunes and rocky headlands rising above intriguing dark waterways and crystal lakes.....Welcome to the unique world of the Great Sandy National Park. Beyond invites you on a journey to experience this stunning National Park of magnificent waterways aboard the Cooloola Queen. Our boat caters for groups of up to 49 people and offers an upper viewing deck - the perfect platform for not only viewing the spectacular scenery but a great place to enjoy the cool breezes of these tranquil waterways. The
Cooloola Queen provides comfortable coach style seating, bathroom facilities and a Hostess on board.
We offer two distinctly different experiences - the Everglades Cruise and the Everglades Cruise and Coloured Sands Safari. The Everglades Cruise is a journey of the beautiful Noosa River and Noosa Lakes and the magical Everglades. We visit the Kinaba Information Centre, a unique centre built on a boardwalk above the wetlands. The Everglades is often called the River of Mirrors - tranquil and unspoilt waterways which we cruise through whilst you can enjoy and photograph the wonderful scenery. A barbecue lunch is catered for at Harry's Hut with a superb selection of meat, fish, fresh salads, crusty bread and a glass of wine. Morning and afternoon tea is served by our Hostess who will assist and provide, along with our experienced skipper, an informative commentary about the waterways, the history and the region.
The Everglades Cruise and Coloured Sands Safari offers all the experiences of the Everglades Cruise plus more! On "Safari" you will enjoy the natural rainforest, bushland and eucalyptus fores, the Carlo Sandblow, Rainbow Beach, Double Island Point, the Cherry Venture shipwreck, Red Canyon and marvel at the renowned Coloured Sand Cliffs - distinctive sand dunes with magical colours of deep reds, oranges, browns, yellows and blacks.
The Everglades Cruise and Coloured Sand Safairi departs from our jetty at Noosa Harbour Marine Village at 8:30am and returns approx 4:30pm. Due to tidal conditions this safari may operate in reverse.
