NOOSA – it evokes images of beautiful beaches, river, National Parks and holidays in the sun, and it is no coincidence that the name is believed to have derived from a word in the local Gubbi Gubbi language that means “place of rest”… a perfect space to restore life’s balance.
1. Noosa’s nature
Beauty and fresh air surround Noosa with clear seas lapping golden beaches (there are more than a dozen beaches, bays and hidden coves), the river and lakes with their source in the pristine Noosa Everglades, national parks, Biosphere Reserves, World Heritage wonder and the nearby hinterland with mountains to conquer and valleys to roam.
There are endless ways to immerse yourself in Noosa’s nature – follow the sun from glorious sunrises over the eastern beaches to golden sunsets over hinterland hills; jog the Noosa National Park’s coastal tracks; plunge in for an ocean swim; stretch it out with yoga on the beach; or follow miles of forest trails on foot, horseback or bike.
2. Experiences for your senses
Noosa makes the most of its stunning nature, with activities and experiences to tingle all the senses. Learn to surf or stand-up paddle with local experts; go ocean kayaking or into the stillness of the Noosa Everglades on self-guided or guided tours; let a personal trainer show you hidden places to run, stretch and breathe; go skydiving or kitesurfing or join adventure tours such as the new swim with the whales experience.
3. Healing help
