We think Mother Nature sprinkled a little something extra on the Sunshine Coast.
From our sparkling coastline to the Hinterland rainforests, Noosa Everglades and Glass House Mountains, there’s beauty to be found around every corner.
Learn more about our nature-based experiences below, and the programs, credentials and operators focused on celebrating what makes us so special.
Sunshine Coast Sustainability Program
Want to protect our beautiful backyard? We do too.
That’s why we’ve made it easier to remove carbon emissions from your trip through the Sunshine Coast Sustainability Program.
We’ve partnered with Reforest to help restore local ecosystems right here on the Sunshine Coast, with more than 6,400 trees planted to date.
Contribute from as little as $3, and see the positive contributions our industry and visitors are making in real time through the program dashboard.
Biosphere Corridor
Biosphere Reserves have an internationally-recognised status and play vital roles in the conservation journey. We’re so thrilled to be the only place in Australia where three UNESCO Biosphere Reserves sit side-by-side across the spectacular Sunshine Coast, Noosa, and the Great Sandy regions.
Get back to nature
See the Sunshine Coast as you’ve never seen it before on a cultural experience, guided adventure, and by spending the night at an award-winning retreat that celebrates our natural surroundings.
Taste canapes with native flavours and learn more about our Traditional Owners on a journey with Saltwater Eco Tours, gain new respect for our majestic humpbacks on a swim-with-whales adventure, and get back to nature with a stay at Glass House Mountains Eco Lodge.
Did you know?
When creating our Sunshine Moments campaign, we wanted to reduce our impact on the environment – for real. The result was a destination film powered by our beautiful sunshine!
