The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive 20 minutes early

Orientation and helmet fitting start before departure—arriving early ensures your seat height and helmet are adjusted for comfort.

Bring a refillable water bottle

Electrically assisted riding masks effort; stay hydrated, especially on warm days.

Sunscreen and a brimmed hat

Much of the route opens to sun near lookouts—apply sunscreen before you ride and carry a lightweight hat for stops.

Closed-toe shoes recommended

Boardwalks and short sandy sections are easier and safer in sneakers or light hiking shoes.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Early-morning boardwalk coffee at Curly's on the Boardwalk near the Mount Coolum viewpoint
  • Tidal rock pools south of Mudjimba for low-tide exploration and quiet birdwatching

Wildlife

  • Humpback whales (June–November migrations)
  • Eastern grey kangaroos or swamp wallabies in adjacent reserves

Conservation Note

Routes traverse protected dunal vegetation and estuarine habitats—stay on paths, avoid trampling dunes, and respect signage to protect bird nesting and sensitive plants.

The coastline and islands are part of Kabi Kabi Country; Mudjimba Island and middens in the Maroochy area carry cultural stories tied to fishing, food plants and ceremony.
