Best Outdoor Activities For Families on The Sunshine Coast

The Sunshine Coast is the perfect destination for a family holiday, as there are so many things to do. 

Located in Sunshine Beach, Mykonos Luxury Villa is the ultimate accommodation for families. However, if you want to spend some time outdoors exploring, here are the best activities for families to experience. 

Beach Days

A trip to the Sunshine Coast wouldn’t be complete without hitting some of the best beaches in the region. Mykonos Luxury Villa is within walking distance of Sunshine Beach and just a ten-minute drive from Noosa Heads Main Beach. 

While at the beaches, be sure to give surfing, kayaking or paddleboarding a try! Bonus tip: if you’re up for it, you can kayak from Sunshine Beach to the secluded bays in Noosa National Park.

Go For a Hike

Do you want to see the beaches of the Sunshine Coast from a different angle? Why not climb Mount Coolum? While the climb may be steep in some areas, it’s all worth it once you reach the summit and are rewarded with sweeping views of the ocean and coastal towns.

If you’re looking for something a little easier, Mt. Ngungun in the Glass House Mountains is a short hike that boasts 360-degree views of the hinterland from the summit.

Australia Zoo

Do your kids love animals? As one of the most popular attractions on the Sunshine Coast, Australia Zoo is worth the visit as it allows your kids to get up close and personal with various animals, such as kangaroos, koalas and even crocodiles.

Treetop Adventures 

Take a trip inland to Woombye to experience being Tarzan for the day. 

The TreeTop Challenge spans 10 acres of lush rainforest and boasts 120 high rope games, suspended bridges and 12 ziplines spanning up to 140 metres.

If you’re looking for an exhilarating experience for the whole family, TreeTop Challenge is worth a visit. 

Fishing Excursions

Would you like to make getting the ingredients for dinner fun? Why not take the kids on a fishing excursion? 

There are various spots along the Sunshine Coast where you can cast a line or join a guided tour to make the experience even more memorable. 

Once you’ve got your catch, head back to the villa to cook some fresh fish for dinner!
