Embark on our captivating Rainbow Beach Tour, a full-day adventure immersing you in the vibrant hues and natural wonders of this coastal gem. Setting off from Noosa Hinterland, our scenic drive leads you to a charming farm cafe for a cup of coffee amidst rustic tranquility. Continuing through the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park, discover a pristine sand-filtered creek, home to majestic long-finned eels.
The journey unfolds to the iconic Carlo Sandblow, offering panoramic vistas of the kaleidoscopic sands, Double Island Point, and K’Gari (Fraser Island). After a guided nature walk, enjoy a delectable lunch overlooking the azure expanse of Rainbow Beach and Wide Bay.
With free time to explore Rainbow Beach township and its pristine shores, our Rainbow Beach Tour also includes a closer encounter with K’Gari from the nearest mainland point, complemented by a leisurely nature walk. As the day concludes, visit a craft brewery and farm to unwind with a refreshing beverage and perhaps enjoy live music on weekends. Reminisce about the day’s adventures before returning home, hearts full and spirits uplifted.
