Mountain biking in Noosa
Mountain bike trails snake their way up and down hill through Tewantin National Park, just 10km west of Noosa Heads, and it’s a fun – and unexpected – experience that’s so close to the water activity that Noosa is usually known for.

The Wooroi Day Use Area at the main entrance off Cooroy-Noosa Road, is a lovely, shaded picnic spot, perfect for inexperienced riders, with tracks weaving off from here.
If you don’t have your own bike, you can join a guided mountain biking tour with Bike On who cater for all skills levels – they’re also running children’s mountain biking camps over the Christmas school holidays. Their Off The Top mountain bike tour is a half-day downhill adventure that starts from the top of Mt Tinbeerwah (they thoughtfully drive you to the top!). The fully guided tour which includes pick-up and drop-off from your accommodation, and a forest picnic, is done at your pace through bush tracks, small creeks and rainforest.

All sorts of bikes, including electric bikes are available for hire – just ask at the Visitor Information Centre in Hastings Street or at Noosa Marina, phone 1 3000 NOOSA or email info@visitnoosa.com.au
