    The walking trails are great but I wish we could of downloaded them prior to going so that we knew what we were really in for (appreciate this might exist already but didn’t fond it easily). Anyway, this is certainly worth doing if you can appreciate a good view and some natural beauty. Pack enough water and maybe a snack!

    What a beautiful national park. Multiple walking trails with amazing views. If you are looking for an active activity to do with the family, I would highly recommend a visit here. Lots of places to stop along the walk including secluded beaches, fairy rock pools and viewing docks. Making it to the peak at Hell's gate is well worth the trek. Be warned, it gets busy so if you can walk here instead of drive that is definitely the better option as finding a car park after 9am will be hard.

    Gorgeous national park and one of the most easily accessed walk ways into the park itself. Recommend coming here early in the morning for the sunrise and to avoid the crowds. Beware the other holiday makers that will crowd the car park up. The beaches are gorgeous, if a little flat, so they're perfect for families or individuals who aren't interested in pushing themselves too hard. No flag or lifesavers so it's best to play it safe

    Such a beautiful national park, the water is so clear and it's in turquoise colour. There're a lot of different walks to choose from but personally I think the coastal walk is the best. You can spot some whales during the migration season. There's also a fairy pool here, which is pretty cool, bring a swimwear if you'd like to do a dip! Definitely child friendly but dogs are not allowed here. Public restrooms are available. There's an information centre at the start of the walk. Parking can be hard to find if you come late.

    Our first question when we encountered this sign was, what’s the difference between First Point Walk Way and First Point National Park? Secondly, do they both lead to the entrance of Noosa National Park? Essentially, both paths eventually merges and both paths leads to Noosa National Park. The only difference is that the First Point Walk Way leads to a flight of steps while the other is a walk up the slope on the board walk. If we could choose again, definitely the slop via the First Point National Park πŸ˜‰ Before long, we arrived at Noosa National Park… One of the highlights of visiting Noosa National Park is to do the Coastal Walk. The Coastal Walk starts from the entrance of Noosa National Park, passing by iconic landmarks such as the Boiling Pot, Tea Tree Bay, Dolphin Point, Granite Bay and Hell’s Gate. Having learnt from our lessons of trekking across the lava field at Volcanoes National Park Hawaii, we decided that heading back after visiting Hell’s Gate would be a wise decision. Otherwise, the Coastal Walk continues past Hell’s Gate, towards Alexandria Bay – a 1km stretch of beautiful beach and clear blue waters. For more details, visit 2bearbear today!

    Stunning national Park, great access to amenities where required along the various tracks. The beaches were stunning and there were lots of surfers out there doing their thing. The full coastal walk was amazing and I'd highly recommend it πŸ‘

    The beauty of the shoreline at Noosa National Park is beyond belief. The water is so pristine, and gorgeous from every angle. We started our day around 2:30pm on a Friday in July, and the walked along the Ocean Track till Hell's Gate. The view from Hell's Gate was fantastic. We waited here for 20-30minutes and we were lucky enough to see pods of dolphins. The most magical thing was seeing a whale breach and seeing their body, pectoral fins, flukes and all. This definitely made our day. The parking spaces here are limited, but we got a spot straight away perhaps due to it being a weekday. Parking is restricted to 4 hours, so I believe there is a reasonable turnaround of spaces. The journey to Noosa National Park from Brisbane is definitely worth it. It helps one re-energized after prolonged exposure to life in the city.

    This place is more beautiful than they seem in photos. Trekking route is mostly covered by trees. You can stop and enjoy good views in many spots. I am so sad that I could not see most of the park because I could not park my car. Hours wasted... I see from the reviews that this is the case almost for all weekends. So, if you visit here at the weekend you should arrive before 8am in the morning. Or park your car far, take a bus/uber.

    The walks are great, not difficult and accessible. The views are stunning. Plenty of wildlife also, I managed to spot a brown snake!

    Beautiful national park. A big coastline along the sea. There is a trail where you can walk and you can see through the sea and the coastline. Parking is nearby which is free but they have mentioned strictly no overnight parking. It was windy when I was there and a lot of people were sunbathing at the beach. Too bad I can't spend too much time there.

  • 5/5 Kit A. 1 year ago on Google
    It feels wild to give this wonderful national park a star rating - as it is a six star just for the nature itself! An easy walk but can get hot. Pack water, go early to get parking. WelL maintained and busy. Good for a walk, decent for a run. Super early mornings are my favourite

    This place is incredible. A beautiful coastal walk, pristine beaches and unspoiled Australian bush land. Come here for a walk, relax and unwind in the nature. Take only photographs, leave only footprints.

    The most magical place I would ever want to be. I just love the lookout & all the places that you are looking at are written along the railing so you can actually get your bearings.if you live here or are just visiting it's definitely worth a visit. We live in a magical world & this place is one of those places that makes it so.

    We hiked through the Noosa national park from the south side to be rewarded with a swim at Noosa's spectacular beaches at little Cove and main Beach. The water was perfect 🌞 despite being the busiest time of year the hiking trails were quiet. Couldn't get a park near the main beaches this time so we started from the south. Hike was not too challenging but enough to work up a sweat

    The most beautiful place on earth! Just perfect. Come here in winter. It is not crowded and you can enjoy the Nationalpark. The ways in the park are very easy to walk. You can access several beaches.

    Noosa National Park on Queensland's Sunshine Coast is a coastal paradise that captivates visitors with its natural beauty. My friend and I use the coastal route and we are satisfied with our decision. This is the recommended route because most of the walkways are even and cost least energy to travel (except the Sunshine beach, Alexandria Bay and some paths have stairs) but still can enjoy picturesque beaches, scenic walking trails, and breathtaking ocean views. The coastal track offers panoramic vistas and chances to spot dolphins and whales (but really rare, I don't have a chance to see them but hear their sound from a distance near Dolphin Point). The park's interior trails showcase diverse flora, fauna, and iconic landmarks like Hell's Gates. Well-maintained facilities and knowledgeable staff enhance the experience. People can still choose to experience Tanglewood walk and Hill walk but remember to follow the instructions along the way, do not walk alone and bring enough water with you. Be mindful of crowds by visiting on weekdays or arriving early as well. Noosa National Park is an enchanting destination for nature enthusiasts and have a great trip!

    Stunningly beautiful as always! This walk is suitable for all ages and is pram and wheelchair friendly. Don't forget the coffee stop at the bottom. This should be on everyone's list of things to do when visiting Noosa.

    Great national park, well preserved and a nice view. Some cliffs are perfect to look for whales, turtles, dolphins, rays, among other marine animals. We also found echidnas walking around and very close to nice beaches to go for a swim. Longest trail is around 10km both ways

    The Noosa National Park is absolutely gorgeous. The coastal walk offers such incredible views of the ocean and hidden coves along the shoreline. I definitely recommend doing the walk if you visit Noosa. It takes around 2 hours each way and does get at little rocky and unstable towards the Sunshine Beach end. But it is totally worth it.

    An incredibly beautiful National park in the heart of Noosa. Absolutely stunning coastal views from all vantage points, and a walk for all fitness levels. I took the no.5 route to make the most of the coastal views, which was around 10.5km or good quality walking tracks.

    A beautiful national park with good walking trails seeing fabulous views. Wear polaroid glasses for better viewing. We were able to see turtles swimming and a pod of dolphins. Definately recommend walking the trail and wear swimmers so you can swim at one of the beaches if you like. There is a dog beach on the southern end of the park at Sunshine Beach. All the rain bought small waterfalls πŸ˜„

    Worth the visit!! We did the coastal walk and its great to stop by the beaches on the way. There are various surf spots throughout the trail! Tip: recommend to bring a water bottle and a hat. Loved it!

    Excellent walking tracks, spectacular views and fantastic swimming and surf beaches. Only downside is that it can get quite busy on the trails and parking is difficult in peak times.

  • 4/5 Rebecca J. 7 months ago on Google β€’ 20 reviews
    Had a lovely stroll through this national park. The car park gets quite busy. This was our third day attempting to visit the national park (due to parking difficulties). Lots of camper vans when we arrived at 6.30am however we were able to get a parking spot this time which was great. National park was very busy even this early in the morning. Lots of people running and walking, often had to move out of the way. Overall a nice morning out

  • 5/5 Frederik P. 9 months ago on Google
    Definitely one of my favourite places in all of Australia! Beautiful nature is made easily accessible here. We saw whales, dolphins and even a sea turtle. The parking lot fills up quickly, so you'd better come a little earlier. Otherwise, you can also easily reach the park by bus (10 minutes walk) There is a toilet in between.

  • 5/5 Brooklyn B. 2 years ago on Google
    I love the scenery ..just amazing how beautiful the beach in Noosa . The national Noosa park is perfect to walk with your family or your partner and see the beautiful view. Surely will be going back again .

    Bring sufficient water if on a hot day! I walked from Sunshine beach to Noosa heads and only saw 1 water station over 10+km! Breathtaking views

  • 5/5 Joanne L. 2 years ago on Google
    Always loved Noosa National Park and have been a regular visitor now for 30 years plus. Never disappoints...this year wildflowers, dolphins and whales from Hells gates headland!!

  • 5/5 Elliot J. 3 years ago on Google
    Very nice walk! Lots of little beaches along the way. Saw dolphins casually swimming along and apparently that normal around here! Definitely worth a visit. Be aware, parking can be tough

  • 5/5 Carlos A. 2 years ago on Google
    An iconic spot in Noosa, great little hiking trails, family friendly, the main little beach has toilets. Ideal spot for a picnic. Parking can be very hard to find at most hours of the day.

  • 5/5 H T. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful beach and the view is mesmerizing! Perfect place to hike then if you feel hot and tired you can enjoy the beach!

  • 4/5 Dr. F. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a pleasant place to visit. Great for walks and day trips with families or friends. Probably not as intense as amatuer adventurers and hikers would like it to be, but still offers enough area of beauty to explore.

  • 5/5 Louisa A. 3 years ago on Google
    Been to Noosa so many times and didn't know about this gem. What a lovely easy walk and the views are absolutely beautiful. Devil gates are worth the walk. Walking trails are very easy to moderate, I personally didn't find it very hard which was great. You will find amenities along the way which are maintained very well

  • 5/5 Faisal S. 10 months ago on Google
    The Noosa National Park walk/hike turned out to be a fantastic experience. With several trail options to choose from, I had the luxury of exploring the park in very pleasant weather. The symphony of bird songs accompanied me along the way, creating a soothing atmosphere. To my delight, luck was on my side as I spotted a kangaroo during my walk. While I wasn't able to capture a photo, the memory remains vivid. If you're planning a visit to Noosa, the Noosa National Park walk/hike is a must-include item in your itinerary. It's an experience that showcases the park's natural beauty and wildlife, making it a perfect addition to your bucket list.

  • 4/5 Nathan 2 years ago on Google
    A nice park that offers some variety, both sandy rainforest and beach views. For best bang for buck I recommend the Tanglewood path returning via the Coastal Walk. I did the entire Coastal walk too, which I recommend for people who are particularly into beaches. I've been fortunate enough to be spoiled for choice beach-wise so its effect wasn't as strong for me. Don't count on nearby parking; even if you start early the surfers will be here before you. The closest park I could find at 7:30am was 2km away; be sure to account for this extra walk time in your plans

  • 5/5 Rachael C. 2 years ago on Google
    Magical place. The scenery on a nice day is outstanding. Their are a few different bays along the way to pop in for a dip. The whole walk is a good few kilometres but very well worth it. Lots of camera moments along the way plus the 'Fairy Pools' which is a good rock hop along some boulders down into the rock pools.

  • 5/5 Pandy D. 2 years ago on Google
    Noosa Coastal Walk through Noosa National Park, QLD Always a great experience either walking or jogging through various trails within the National Park. Boiling Point Lookout is a great spot for dolphin watching. The trail to Hell’s Gates is spectacular, as is the walk along Alexandria Bay. From Hell’s Gates you can return via Tanglewood Walk which takes you through the forest rather than back along the coast. #NoosaCoastalWalk #NoosaNationalPark #TanglewoodWalk

    Very beautiful. Photos don't really capture what you see. Although we went after heavy rain, it was still amazing. Lots of surf too!

  • 5/5 Jα₯²mΡ–α₯± 10 months ago on Google
    The walking trails here are really beautiful and the scenery from one beach to another is spectacular. I’ve been here a few times now and will be coming back whenever I have the chance. It is an incredible experience.

  • 5/5 Vaughan D. 11 months ago on Google
    Small but beautiful National Park only minutes walk from the town centre of Noosa. Constructed board walk makes access easy for all ages to enjoy the serenity and stunning scenery. Don't forget to keep looking high into the treetops for the ever elusive koalas.

  • 5/5 Daria S. 2 years ago on Google
    Noosa is an unique and absolutely beautiful place in Queensland. There is no other Nusa's in Australia. It instantly wins our hearts with stunning beaches, beautiful Rainforest walks, great restaurants and shopping malls.

  • 5/5 Yang Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful beach, great surfer place and even better a bush walking just close. Noosa Heads National Park has everything you need for’ family fun.

  • 5/5 Evan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely gorgeous park with some fantastic beaches and stunning views! Much of the front of the path is paved, so it should be easy for most to navigate. Popular for surfers, too!
