Noosa Boating

Noosa River provides extensive boating opportunities. Launching facilities are found at Tewantin by Noosa Marina, Gympie Terrace next to the petrol station and at Munna Point inside the Noosa campsite.

Laguna Bay provides a protected environment for fishing and other boating pleasures. Crossing the Noosa Bar is a serious undertaking and must be done with extreme caution. The bar is shallow with shifting sands and best crossed at high tide in gentle surf. Noosa Coastguard (07 5449 7670) provides an excellent rescue service and monitor all bar crossings with a camera. You should contact Noosa Coastguard on Channel 88 prior to attempting a crossing. Their HQ is located at Munna Point just through the campsite. Noosa Coastguard will escort you across the Noosa Bar on your first attempt if you require assistance. They also sell a number of Noosa river maps with local points of interest and is worth buying.

One of the most popular activities to do whilst in Noosa is take a river cruise to the Everglades. The upper Noosa River is a beautiful tranquil place. The cruise passes the township of Tewantin, then Makepeace Island recently bought by Richard Branson and crosses Lake Cooribah and Lake Cootharaba.
