Pay it forward
Got a picky Dad? Keep everyone happy, with a gift voucher or outdoor adventure experience at one of the many Noosa providers. Whether your dad loves surfing, wildlife spotting, mountain biking or skydiving, there's something for everyone in Noosa.
If your dad loves a wave, you’ll trump all other gifts with a voucher from Noosa Longboards, to be used on a board or other goodies in-store. Or gift your dad a surf safari with Epic Ocean Adventures, who run surfing tours to Double Island Point and the Noosa North Shore.
If your dad’s more the golfing type, you can’t go past a voucher for a day on the green at The Noosa Springs Golf & Spa Resort, where he can golf all day and relax with a cold beer in the country club all afternoon. Take advantage of their Father's Day offer - Spa or Nine & Dine - to enjoy breakfast or lunch, followed by nine holes of golf or a thermal spa experience, for $79. Or head into the Noosa Country, to the sprawling Noosa Hills Par 3 Golf Course, with its hinterland views and onsite cafe, for a relaxed, family-friendly day of golfing.
For an experience to remember, book a day out with local foodie tour company, Creative Tours. They have a range of equally tempting experiences to choose from; we like the Noosa Drinks Tour - stopping at Dingo Creek Vineyard, Pomona Distilling Co, 20 20 Distillery and Noosa Hinterland Brewing Co- with lunch, local cheese plate, beer and wine tastings all included, or the Noosa Distillery Tour - sampling gins, cheese platters, lunch and craft beers at 20 20 Distillery, Pomona Distilling Co and Fortune Noosa Heads Distillery.
