Happy Flightie Friday โ๏ธ We've just caught up with Expert Cat after her beach holiday in Noosa, Australia last week. Check out her top tips:
๐ฌWhat was the highlight of your trip?
The whole trip was a highlight BUT if I had to choose, it would be kayaking out at Double Island Point with a group of very playful dolphins (including some calves) on my Epic Ocean Adventure tour! ๐ฃโโ๏ธ They put on quite the show jumping out the water and playing with bits of seaweed - it was a wildlife encounter I'll never forget ๐ฌ
๐ก Any tips for first-time travellers to this destination?
If you're into laid-back coastal vibes and a food enthusiast, I'd recommend staying in Peregian Beach. This hidden gem is just an 18-minute bus from bustling Noosa, but you'll find swathes of sand to yourself, soulful cafes & restaurants serving up the culinary riches of the Sunshine Coast, and boutique shops - a real haven after a busy day exploring ๐๏ธ
๐๏ธ What would you do next time?
I'd time my stay to coincide with the best whale-spotting opportunities (Jun-Nov). You can hike Emu Mountain or take on the more challenging Mount Coolum (to work off the aforementioned food), and at the top be rewarded with 360-degree views and if you're lucky, see humpback whales breaching (July) or pods coming close to shore with their calves (Oct) ๐
