ADVENTURE BY NOOSA Head out for an adventure. Walk, dive, climb, paddle, ride or cycle through Noosa’s coastal and hinterland landscapes. Aquatic adventures Head to the beach for a long walk, an ocean swim or to conquer a surf break. Local surf schools will have beginners standing in no time. Try the new style of stand-up paddle surfing, strap yourself into a wavejumping boat or climb onto a jet ski, ocean kayak or kite board. Scuba divers can explore the wreck of the ex-HMAS Brisbane, or the extensive network of reefs that extend from Laguna Bay, with coral, abundant marine life and spectacular underwater topography. Sail on a peaceful lake or paddle through the Everglades, a unique system of unspoilt waterways where you can also spend two nights 18
on a self-guided canoeing and camping safari. Join a whale-watching tour from Noosa, try your luck on a fishing charter or hire a boat and see Noosa from the river.
Testing terrain Hurtle down a hill or pedal along cross-country mountain bike tracks that traverse forest, obstacles and mixed terrain. Take in the scenery of Noosa’s North Shore from the back of a horse or join a guided trail ride through the rolling hills of the hinterland or along a beach. Take in the view from atop Mt Tinbeerwah before abseiling down the mountain face, or for something
closer to the ground, walk or ride The Noosa Trail Network, a signposted network of trails for walkers, horse riders and mountain bikers.
Take to the air Take to the air for a bird’s-eye view of the landscape with a chartered flight in a light aircraft or helicopter or experience the adrenalin rush of jumping out of a plane and landing on the oceanfront. Adventure activities by their nature involve some risk and are best experienced under the guidance of those who know how. Hook up with a local operator or guide for instruction or to find out the best places for your sport.
