Some of the best views I have seen. Its a good climb to the top and not for the faint hearted - but once you are up there it is stunning.

Great place for a walk, bike ride, coffee, lunch, dinner cocktail. Wonderful spot for families as there is a park for the kids to one end. Also then a great spot for couples as there are ample bars and restaurants to pick from.

A bit of a drive to get there, but totally worth it. You can do the small track down to the 1st waterfall or you can keep going to the further walk. Take a picnic down with you and sit and watch visitors jump off the falls. In the summer the water is amazing to swim in and will cool you off. A great place to visit - make sure your phone is charged as you will want to take lots of photos.

Wonderful for kids in the summer. Water park full of fountains and splash areas for the kids. It is only small and in the summer it can get busy, so get there early.

I love doing this trip and I have been on this many a times. The commentary is awesome and depending on who you get can be really funny. They take you on the waterways and show you around Noosa via water. You will start at one end of Noosa and end up in Hastings Street. Have a walk around Hastings Street and then catch the ferry back to your car. It is a great afternoon or morning out.

This spot is breathtaking. It is a hidden gem. You do have to go there on an outgoing tide though. Take your snorkel and mask wit you as you will see fish left in the pool after the tide goes out. Wear runners as it is a bit of a walk down on rocks to get to the pools. Not recommended for small children.

Traveler advice
Getting around
Hospital
Local hospital is Noosa. 111 Goodchap Street, Noosaville. They do have an emergency ward there.
Getting around
Uber
You will be able to call an Uber from the property. I do recommend in this area though to leave 30 minutes to ensure you get a ride on time. Sometimes the rides are quick and other times they can take up to 30 minutes.
