    Challenging climb with great views to reward when you summit. One of my top experiences on the Sunshine Coast. Meeting lots of walkers on way up and down.

    We had a fantastic ride with Issy through the amazing rainforest and the horses were beautiful, calm and well matched to our ability. We loved it so much we can wait to come back soon.

    We had a great time today at Aussie World with our 5 year old. There was enough fun to be had for a solid 3.5 hours. It’s well run with very friendly and helpful staff. I’d definitely recommend going.

    Great facilities around it with changing rooms tables & chairs to sit at if you don't participate and just want to watch. Our 17year old teenagers were exhausted after 1 session but had a blast!

    We had the BEST time here. As a mum I'm not usually one to participate in these activities but I'm so glad I did as I've not laughed so much in ages. The course is relatively easy but could be be harder if you go faster. We were lucky to go on a week day when it was quiet. It's huge! We did one session and loved it that much that we did a second. Our 6yo probably could have just done one session. Wish we did it at the start of our holiday instead of our last so we could have gone back a second day. Great that the cable ski is next to it too. Plenty of food options to purchase as well as bbq facilities. Amenities were clean and staff very friendly. We'll be back!

    I had a fantastic double dive at the HMAS Brisbane with Scuba World in March 2022! I'm new to diving, and was by myself, but it was a small group and I was well looked after and so always felt safe... so could just enjoy the dives! It was my first wreck dive, and I couldn't have enjoyed it more... loved watching the fish swimming through the wreck and saw my first lion fish and guitar sharks!! A big thank you to Chris and all of the friendly crew at Scuba World, thoroughly recommend! :-)

    I love doing this walk as it’s such a beautiful view when you get to the top. It’s not too difficult but steps are uneven heights so not recommended for anyone with mobility issues.

    Recently completed the clamber up Mt Cooroora, which is both exhilarating and exhausting. It gets steep towards the top but there are , steps chipped into the rockface, railings, chains and even metal stairs to help you along. Not sure how climbers managed before these aids were in place. There are signs at the start of the walk warning that the track can be very slippery in wet weather but when I climbed the area was having one of its driest periods in many years and I found the dust-covered rocks forming the track along the steeper parts of the track to be very slippery, treacherously so for the downhill section. Take your time, and you'll have a very rewarding experience

    We took 2 teenage grandchildren away on a grandparents/grandchildren adventure holiday. As both are water babies we decided to organised waterski lessons for them. Our grandson had very little waterskiing experience some 5 years previously and our granddaughter no experience at all. Emma coached them both beautifully and patiently. Our grandson was up and away on one ski immediately and spent the rest of his lesson time perfecting his stance and cutting the wake skills. Our granddaughter progressed through the initial training onto 2 skis and with a lot of determination managed to stand on 1 ski by the end of her second lesson. Their lessons ended with an exhilarating ride on a tube behind the boat with spectacular spills. All of this was achieved surrounded in the perfect location and facilities of the Oz Ski and with the incredible coaching of Emma and Rick.

    Next to Oz Ski Resort the Blast Aqua Park offers more fun on the water, so needless to say our grandchildren headed straight over there after their ski lessons finishing off their day with more climbing, jumping and sliding fun of the Blast Aqua Park. To say we had 2 very tired but very happy grandchildren at the end of the day is an understatement.

    Emma and Rick, congratulations on building an incredible facility for family fun.

    Great fun for all the family
    We had 2 children and 1 adult racing, and they all enjoyed the experience
    Social distancing was not apparent

    We used NoosatoFraser 4WD hire just prior to Christmas & hired for 5 days. Richard was awesome to deal with & provided heaps of friendly & easy advice about 4WDing on Fraser Island. The Toyota Prado that was hired was in excellent clean condition, well maintained & easy to drive (especially for us first timers). I highly recommend NoosatoFraser hire, we will definitely use again, it was a lot of fun. cheers

    The games master was very helpful and kind. The escape room was heaps of fun - it took input from all of us to escape which made the experience even better. Would definitely go again!

    Fantastic 1 hour beach ride on Noosa North Shore. Three of us in the riding party, two experienced riders and one who had never been on a horse. We all had a wonderful time with our guide Daniel seeing that we all got to ride to our levels and have fun. All the people are friendly and the horses are in beautiful condition. I have ridden with them several times now over the years and always had a great experience. My horse Oscar was an absolute gem, Moose is a legend and Duke so kind to a complete beginner.

    Had a fantastic ride through the bush and out into the lake. The horses were lovely. It was easy to book and so close by.
