When you want a little extra edge on your next coastal getaway ...
We’ve filled your Sunshine Coast trip with action-packed activities that’ll get your adrenalin pumping, your cheeks flushed and fill that memory bank with living-on-the-edge experiences.
Check-in to beachside accommodation at Oceans Mooloolaba. This will be your digs for the next few days. Not bad, huh? Get acquainted with the water on a SUP from Mooloolaba Surf Club for the afternoon, before donning your best for a truly decadent dining experience at Spice Bar. Take away the effort of decision-making and opt for the incredible degustation menu including dessert.
Brekkie at Gainsbourg on Mooloolaba esplanade is a must-do, so that’s exactly where you’re starting the day. Next, you’ll be making everyone you know super jealous, with a rare opportunity to swim with humpback whales. Nope, we’re not kidding. If you’ve got a GoPro, use it! After spending the day on the water, grab a bite to eat—fish and chips at the spit are delish—before finding a sunny spot beside the rooftop pool at Oceans. To tie a bow around the perfect day, you’ll be dining at The Boat Shed Cotton Tree.
Wake up early and jump in the car for an early jaunt north to Noosa Farmers Market. Grab a coffee, a quick brekkie and some food to take on today’s adventure. Yep, you’ll be spending the better part of the day on a 4WD tour with Epic Ocean Adventures, including a guided dolphin kayak or SUP tour at Double Island Point. Return to Mooloolaba but not without a sneaky stop-off at Hello Harry’s for burgers and shakes—these guys have quite the rep on the Coast.
Keep your last morning simple with breakfast at The Velo Project, before we take things up a notch with an incredible, fast-paced jetski experience in the Pumicestone Passage in Caloundra. It’ll be hard to leave the Sunshine Coast, but at least you’ve got the memories.
