Lovely Tour - Very informative and saw plenty of wildlife! I appreciate there being a courtesy shuttle. Got lucky with the weather :) Our skipper really made the tour! He was very knowledgeable and funny. I really liked listening to him talk. During the boat ride we saw lots of birds such as pelicans, a cormorant, some black swans, a kingfisher, tawny frogmouths, a Willie wagtail, and an osprey! It's also possible to see koalas though they were hiding from us. Springtime should be better for sightings. There were 2 boats - boat 1 would stop at Fig Tree Point and canoe up to Harry's Hut while the other would do the opposite. I was in boat 2 so we went straight to the hut. The description of the tour only really described boat 1. So I didn't expect this but didn't mind. The opposite direction also meant canoeing with our backs against the sun so that was preferable. When the boat stopped, we got about a 30 min break before it was time to canoe. Here we could use the toilets (no toilet on the boat), walk to Harry's Hut, swim in the tea tree infused river, and/or enjoy refreshments. The hut was a very short walk. It's a hut, not much to look at. The refreshments included muffins, oranges, orange juice, and apple juice. Then it was canoe time. There are 2 and 3 person canoes. As an amateur canoer, I was more focused on moving the boat than taking in the scenery but it was still fun. I think it's a definite must to canoe if you do this tour. Otherwise the price I don't think is as worth it. You would probably be better off signing up for the serenity tour in that case. When we got back to fig tree point, we also had the option to swim again. The tour listing also mentioned a rainforest walk at Fig tree point. I believe this was just the walk from the boat to the canoe launch site. Once everyone returned, the boat headed back to the camp. We had about 1.5 hours of free time until the shuttle back. I walked about the camp and saw some monitor lizards and kangaroos. Aside from that the camp wasn't that interesting if you weren't getting food/drinks. I suppose you could also swim here too.

Excellent, but…. - Excellent outing, however Viator confirmation explained correct pick up point but not the correct time. That meant we missed the appointment. Luckily we rescheduled for following day but take care using Viator bookings.

Total waste of money - My husband and I took booked this trip last minute as unsure about the cost of it, but had been advised that going to Harry's Hut was a must. We were picked up and all going very well until we got into our canoes at Fig Tree Point and were told the route up to the Everglades which we particularly wanted to do was closed, due to the rain the previous day and the water levels rising. I understand that this can't be helped but when you spend $300 to paddle around a windy lake, we were both very disappointed. On our return we were told nothing could be done about it, eventually after being offered to go there the following day to do the same thing again and then being told it was closed for 7 days we were very frustrated. Eventually we were told we could go again at a later date. We are from the UK and that is not possible. I feel some sort of compensation would of made the loss a bit more bearable. Will not take the risk again.
