Top 10 Free Things To Do and Attractions in Mooloolaba

"The passage of the Noosa River that cuts into the Great Sandy National Park north of Lake Cootharaba is poetically known as the ‘river of mirrors’ or the Everglades. Hosting almost half of the bird species found in Australia, the river's entire upper catchment is protected, making this one of the most pristine wetlands in the world. It's a perfect place to launch a kayak and camp in one of the many national park camping grounds along the riverbank."

"The ferry isn’t the only way to see the Noosa River, and it can be a lot of fun to head out on the water for half a day and be in control yourself. There are quite a few places in town where you can rent a kayak or a paddle board, for instance, and just explore the river. For something a bit different, you can hire a water bike for a couple of hours and pedal, not paddle (my bad joke, not theirs)."
