Day 5 - Tin Can Bay to Noosa

Hervey Bay, Queensland

Before your departure, please contact the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service to receive tide information and an up to date condition report. Wake up early and take the dolphin ferry from Rainbow Beach to Tin Can Bay, to hand feed the very rare Indo Pacific Humpback dolphins. The dolphins generally arrive early so plan to arrive between 7am and 8am. Feeding commences at 8am with a small group of people in the water at one time. Dolphin feeding does mean getting wet, at least up to your knees, so come prepared! After dolphin feeding, take the return 45-minute ferry back into Rainbow Beach. Depart Rainbow Beach and take the Leisha Track to Double Island Point. In winter look for the annual humpback whales migration, as they travel along the east coast of Australia stopping at nearby Hervey Bay. Head south along the Great Beach Drive to Noosa North Shore - stopping to enjoy the coloured sands at Teewah. Take a vehicle ferry from Noosa North Shore into Noosa. Check into your accommodation for the night at one of the Sunshine Coast's variety of accommodation options to suit all budgets and tastes.
