Noosa Things To Do

5 Best activities for Noosa this winter

Want to explore Noosa without the crazy crowds? Winter is definitely the best time to do it. Noosa is considered one of Australia’s best winter holiday destinations and for good reason! While Noosa still has a few weeks of light jacket weather, it never gets freezing. The sun stays nice and warm during the day, so you can still experience loads of wonderful activities. Here are some great options.

Experience the wonder of whale watching

Did you know that from July to October, around 40,000 humpback whales migrate up Queensland’s coast and back to Antarctica through Noosa’s waters each year? If you’re keen to catch them on their journey, book a whale watching trip with Noosa Ocean Adventures. These gentle giants are known to breach and show off their amazing acrobatic skills, so keep your camera ready. Don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled for dolphins and sea turtles on this Noosa ocean cruise.

Hike the Noosa National Park coastal walk

Winter is the perfect time to tackle the Noosa National Park coastal walk. With less crowds, and clearer views you can explore the dramatic coastline, taking in mesmerising views of turquoise waters, pristine sands and spectacular sea spray against the rocks at Boiling Pot and Hell’s Gates. This 10.8km return trip takes approximately 4 hours and is the perfect way to see Noosa’s natural splendour.
