Frequently Asked Questions

Will I definitely see koalas?

While we can't guarantee wildlife sightings, Noosa National Park has one of the highest koala populations in Southeast Queensland. Our experienced guides know the best spots, and sightings occur on approximately 90% of tours. We also spot other wildlife including wallabies, lizards, and various bird species.

What should I bring?

Bring swimwear, towel, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, comfortable walking shoes, camera, and spending money for lunch and shopping. We recommend bringing a reusable water bottle and light jacket for air-conditioned comfort.

Is the tour suitable for children?

Yes! This tour is family-friendly and perfect for children of all ages. The national park walk is easy (approximately 2km) with plenty of rest stops. The beach activities and wildlife spotting are especially popular with kids.

Can I swim at Noosa Beach?

Absolutely! Noosa Main Beach is patrolled and one of the safest swimming beaches on the Sunshine Coast. The calm waters make it ideal for swimming, and we allow 1.5 hours of beach time for those who want to enjoy the water.

What if the Eumundi Markets aren't on?

The famous Eumundi Markets operate Wednesday and Saturday only. On other days, we spend more time exploring Noosa's boutique shops along Hastings Street and enjoying the national park and beaches. Both itineraries are equally enjoyable.

How long is the drive from Brisbane?

The journey takes approximately 2 hours each way. We travel in comfortable air-conditioned vehicles and make regular comfort stops. The scenic coastal route provides beautiful views and photo opportunities.
