Walking Tours Noosa Heads

Explore the wonders of the west on our Noosa Country Tour where we include a guided walk through the beautiful Noosa Botanic Gardens, coffee and ginger scone at The Ginger Factory with free time, the incredible panoramic views from the top of Mt Tinbeerwah, lunch in Cooroy with time to explore, and Eumundi, including the Eumundi Markets on Wednesday and Saturday. This is an all-inclusive tour will show you the best of the west of Noosa.
To further compliment this tour, we provide you with an experienced local guide and door to door pick-ups in a luxury vehicle with reclining seats and a USB port for each seat to charge your phones and cameras along the way.
ITINERARY You will be picked up between 8-9am before a country drive to the The Ginger Factory where you will enjoy a delicious ginger scone with a coffee/cake or equivalent drink. Here you will have enough time to explore this charming place, and do one of the experiences on offer there, such as the ginger factory tour, live bee show, ride the ginger train, or ride on the overboard boat ride. There is also a nut shop and coffee roaster across the road that you can explore. We then go on a specially selected country drive to Eumundi through picturesque landscapes. In Eumundi you will have time to explore this historic little town, including the Eumundi Markets, Australia's largest artisan market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Next, we make our way through the Eumundi Range to Cooroy for lunch and a drink at a boutique cafe that supports local growers. Here you will also have free time to explore Noosa's most westerly village, that could include the art exhibits at the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre (open Tues - Sun), a historical walk through the town, or a play at the Hinterland Adventure Playground. You will then be taken on a leisurely 1.5km guided walk around the beautiful Noosa Botanic Gardens nestled alongside Lake McDonald. This walk is relatively flat with a few gradual inclines. This guided walk is optional and guests who are not comfortable participating in the walk, are welcome to relax in the gardens or by the lake instead. Our last stop on this amazing tour is at Mt Tinbeerwah where you will be treated to some of the best panoramic views of Noosa and the Sunshine Coast. This requires a 500m walk up a gradual incline to the summit. An alternative is an easy 125m walk to a lookout with amazing views, for those not comfortable participating in the summit walk. A short final drive will have you back to your accommodation no later than approximately 5pm, in time for sunset and dinner.

Explore the secrets of the Sunshine Coast and the hidden hotspots of its northern beaches, where you’ll discover villages, mountain and coastal walks, islands and more, with lunch overlooking the surf in Coolum and a drink with a view at our last stop.
ITINERARY You will be picked up at 9am for a short drive to our first stop at the beautiful Peregian Beach Village. Here you can explore the wonderful variety of boutique locally owned stores in what’s becoming one of Noosa’s favourite shopping hideaways. Make sure you save some time to also walk through the park to the secluded Peregian surf beach. After another short drive we will take an easy climb to the top of the 70 metre high Emu Mountain, which is not much of a mountain, but offers incredible panoramic views of the area. Our experienced guide will point out some endemic plants that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Next we visit Coolum Beach, home of one of Australia’s best surfers, where we will take in the sea views from the clifftops of Point Arkwright before walking the coastal boardwalk down to Coolum Beach esplanade. As it is now time for lunch, you will be seated at your table overlooking the Coolum surf, where you will indulge in your included lunch with a drink. Once you’ve eaten you can decide whether to stay for another drink or go explore the beach, park, or shops until it’s time to leave. A scenic drive south of Coolum will land us in a hidden part of the Sunshine Coast called Mudjimba where you can peer across at Old Woman Island from this little paradise and get some sand between the toes. Our most southerly stop of the tour could easily be your favourite as we walk the Maroochy river mouth and visit the smallest island on the coast, with uninterrupted views of Maroochydore and Cotton Tree. A tour along this stretch of the Sunshine Coast would not be complete without a drink on the open deck of a hidden lakeside bar. We’ll get the first round of drinks and let you sit back and reflect on your day or go explore a little before we leave. One last short drive will get you dropped back to your accommodation by approximately 4:30pm in time for sunset and dinner.
