Unique things to do in Sunshine Coast

Please inquire before booking My goal is for you to have an excellent surfing experience, whether it's your first time surfing or you are trying to advance your skills. We will most likely meet at Noosa River Mouth. Alternately, I will contact you with the location that will be best on that day. From there we will collect the surfboards I provide for you and walk to the surf location that I believe will be best suited to your ability and the conditions on the day. Noosa has multiple bays offering a very diverse group of waves. Each wave breaks differently. There are also many other great surfing locations on the Sunshine Coast if you are interested. For the first 10- 30 minutes we’ll be training on the beach, depending on your ability. Making sure that you have the correct technique and body position on the surfboard before trying in the water. The next hour will be in the water, catching waves and getting feedback with my assistance. This experience is unique as we can change location to find the best waves for you. Small group sizes make you get much more out of the session. I can focus just on you, giving consistent, constructive feedback that adheres to your specific needs. Other things to note: You must know how to swim Any level of surfer can attend

2022 Winner of Australia's Most Magical Experience: We meet 5 mins from Noosa Junction and away from the crowds and hustle of Noosa. You'll suddenly find yourself in nature at the edge of Lake Weyba. This lake is connected all the way through to the Everglades so we experience the same flora and fauna all around us. Once we've got you comfortable in the kayaks, we'll launch and start our adventure onto the lake to then travel down some creeks. As you paddle, look to the skies for chances to see the local Sea Eagles, Ospreys & Kites climbing the thermals whilst they hunt for their lunch. As the only tour group within this section of Noosa's waterways we always get the start to ourselves and can enjoy some hidden areas to savour the tranquility of being on calm water. We keep your enjoyment high by responding to the prevailing weather and paddling to protected areas away from strong winds. We'll play games, quizzes and spend time trying to spot all the local marine life including Estuary Stingrays and Leopard Whiprays. It's a calming trip as you listen to nature and learn a little about the Gubbi Gubbi, natural ecosystems and Noosa's role in caring for this region. The whole experience lasts around 2hours. You'll have a lovely time but expect to get wet and be in the sun for a few hours. We recommend wearing your beach attire (sun safe & water safe)

This is one of SE QLD's best kept secrets, as the beach one visits to get away from the crowds & feel like you are in your own personal paradise. After a safety briefing & orientation on the map, you are free to explore the Passage & Island at your leisure, spotting wildlife and stepping into the beautiful natural surrounds. If you aren’t confident with your paddling skills, the team at Golden Beach Hire are very keen to teach you all the skills you need to paddle confidently on the Passage, whether it be just a casual paddle close to shore, or a challenging fitness excursion on the water and surrounding islands.

You can ggl 'By Earth & Ocean' to find all my direct contact details and ask any questions but here is the general info; I am so grateful to be the FIRST and ONLY person permitted by Queensland Park and Wildlife Services (QPWS) to take guests into Tewantin National Parks single-track mountain bike trails on eBikes. Starting after lunch, we'll take the eBikes into the park so you can discover the hidden tracks and trails and experience the amazing new sport of eMtn Biking. I've got 7 top of the range, state of the art, dual suspension electric mountain bikes from Giant (world leading manufacturer). These bikes are incredibly comfortable and easy to ride off road with large wide tyres for extra grip and soft suspension for extra comfort. Normally this would make riding hard work, but the small, silent motor assists as you pedal. It rides, handles and feels like any bike but suddenly you can climb hills whilst having a conversation and without sweating. No one gets left behind. We'll take these bikes through the manicured bike trails, stopping along the way to witness how the flora changes in such a small area. Glide up to the top of the trails and then flow back down. You'll find your inner child returns with smiles from ear to ear. We'll finish with some well deserved refreshments in the national park whilst telling some tales and finishing the day with some laughs Other things to note Guests don't need a high level of fitness (because of the motor) but it's still an active day and guests should have experience and be comfortable to ride a bike over rocky terrain and up/down hills

We start with our boards on the beach and do a full warm up, practising our board handling and surfing techniques. We jump into the flat water to practise these skills before returning to shore to discuss ocean currents/rips, safety and surf etiquette. Once you have all these skills, we put them to good use and enter the surf for some fun waves. Noosa World Surf Reserve is an incredible place to learn and we'll find you the best banks with the best waves for your ability. I'll be out there with you, giving you feedback after every wave, making sure you're safe and helping get you onto the waves (if needed). We'll take a break and have a breather halfway through, quickly practise a few land-based exercises to keep improving your technique and then get you back out into the surf for some final waves. Other things to note Bring along the usual beach attire: swimmers, sunscreen, water. When making the booking pls also notify me of each persons age and surfing experience.
