Outdoor Adventure Beyond the Beach

Outdoor Adventures in Noosa: Beyond the Beach

Noosa’s Main Beach is iconic, but the region is a playground for adventurers seeking more than sun and sand. From river paddles to rainforest hikes, there’s no shortage of activities to fill your days. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or simply love being outdoors, Noosa invites you to dive deeper into nature.

Paddle the Noosa Everglades

Known as one of only two Everglade systems in the world, the Noosa Everglades are a hidden gem. Just 40 minutes from Hastings Street, you can kayak or take a guided boat tour through mirrored waterways, spotting birdlife and enjoying the serenity of untouched wilderness.

Stand-Up Paddleboarding & Kayaking on the River

The Noosa River is calm and inviting, perfect for paddle boarding or kayaking. Sunrise sessions are particularly magical, with pelicans gliding past and the town slowly waking up.

Catch a Wave

Noosa is one of the world’s best surfing destinations, catering to beginners and pros alike. Take a lesson at Main Beach or head to the famous point breaks at First Point and Tea Tree Bay for an unforgettable surf.

Hike Through Noosa National Park

The Noosa National Park is one of Australia’s most visited, and for good reason. The coastal track offers breathtaking views, hidden coves, and the chance to spot koalas in the wild. Inland trails wind through lush rainforest and are perfect for a shaded walk on warmer days.

Explore the Hinterland

Just beyond Noosa, the hinterland opens up to rolling hills, waterfalls and charming villages. Hike up Mount Tinbeerwah for panoramic views, or visit Eumundi for its renowned markets. Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve and Kondalilla Falls are also within easy reach for a day trip.

Adventure Meets Luxury

After a day of exploration, return to No. 1 Hastings. Relax by your private spa, enjoy a glass of wine on the balcony and let the sounds of the ocean remind you that in Noosa, adventure and relaxation go hand in hand.
