What to expect
Expect a relaxed pace mixing gentle exertion with downtime. The Emu Mountain climb is moderate—steep but short, rewarding you with sweeping coastal panoramas. You'll then explore quieter headlands on foot, taking in rock formations and sea views before paddling or walking to a hidden island spot. Lunch comes with unobstructed views of surfers at Coolum, followed by a lakeside drink in a more secluded setting. The route winds through Peregian's small-scale shops and galleries. Your driver offers local knowledge without rush; the journey itself is as much the point as the stops.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required for the mountain climb and coastal walks. Prams and infant seats available. Service animals welcome. The tour operates year-round; coastal weather can change quickly, so bring layers. Public transport links nearby if needed.
