Mooloolaba has no shortage of land-based attractions for visitors to enjoy, from a scenic hike up the Point Cartwright Loop coastal pathway to a day spa in the salt caves. You can even have a day of mediaeval family fun at Sunshine Castle. But there’s no denying that most of those who come to Mooloolaba, come for the beach and the wide variety of aquatic activities on offer. With some of the Sunshine Coast’s most popular beaches and our truly unique marine wildlife, it’s no wonder that the sea tends to be the star of the show. In this blog, we will present some of our favourite activities to get you out on the water.

All of these activities we have mentioned have their own undeniable appeal, but for our money, nothing compares to seeing humpback whales in their natural environment. Whale One operates daily Whale Watching Cruises between June and early November, and they actually guarantee you’ll see whales. This is a truly unforgettable experience, and many guests are also lucky enough to spot dolphins and other marine animals along the way.
