Highlights
- Mooloolaba Beach - Recently voted the number sixth best beach in Australia by Tripadvisor, Mooloolaba Beach is known as one of the most beautiful beaches on the Sunshine Coast.
- Point Cartwright - Flanked on one side by the ocean and the Mooloolah River on the other, Point Cartwright is a stunning beach, located at the base of the headland at the northern end of Kawana Beach. See the iconic Point Cartwright lighthouse and ocean themed mural-painted reservoir.
- Alexandra Headland Beach - Alexandra Headland has a relaxed and laid back atmosphere that complements the soothing rolling surf and inviting beaches. Alexandra Headland’s main attraction is its magnificent coastal frontage of beach, headland and parks extending for kilometres north and south.
-
Mudjimba beach - Old Woman Island (or Mudjimba Island) is located 1km off the coast. There are a number of Aboriginal legends abound about the Island. One has it, the Island was the result of an epic battle between two men, Coolum and Ninderry, and a woman called Maroochy. The end result was that Coolum’s head was knocked off and ended up in the ocean, creating Mudjimba Island. Mount Coolum, seven kilometers to the north, is now flat topped due to the lack of a head!
There are various other legends involving Aboriginal women living on the island until old age, hence the “Old Woman” name.

The skipper Anthony was great.
Nina our host was truly amazing, her enthusiasm was contagious and her knowledge was outstanding.
This was our first ever whale watching cruise and would recommend it to anybody that is thinking about doing it.
Well worth the money.

We saw whales 🙌 - This was an enjoyable morning. Staff friendly and boat felt safe.
At first no whales but the guides preserved and we finally came across 3 whales. I would recommend this company.

Big Splash - Another awesome day on the water watching these majestic gentle giants at play. This is a must do while on the Sunshine Coast!!! We are locals and are repeat customers of Adventure Rafting … they are a great crew and lots of fun! Kudos to Brendon … he is usually our Skipper and has a wicked sense of humour as well as great knowledge of the local area.

Whale watching - We went on the whale watching cruise and found the captain Zoe to be very knowledgeable and also considerate of the whales. We saw a couple of whales but as they didn’t want to get close to the boat she left them alone to look for some others.
Although we didn’t find any others I was happy that she respected them and didn’t annoy them.
An enjoyable experience.

Bad Business - If you're on a cruise ship, do not book this tour. This port often has difficult weather, making the docking or tendering process difficult. We were unable to stop at this port and this tour company did not refund us our money, despite the fact that the cruise ship could not stop. There is only one way to stop unethical companies, and that is not to do business with them.
