Cooloola Great Walk

Fully Supported | Moderately challenging | Transport included | Fully guided

Rainforest | Beachside | Sand blows | Noosa River | Noosa Everglades

Embark on five unforgettable days of hiking through the Great Sandy National Park, where every step reveals a new side of nature’s beauty. This near 100km journey will challenge and inspire you with breathtaking coastal views, pristine wilderness, and the satisfaction of completing one of Queensland’s most stunning multi-day hikes.

Perfect for adventurers seeking a truly unique experience, this trail takes you deep into nature through ever-changing landscapes — from lush rainforest and towering eucalypt forest to dry coastal woodland, heath plains, and even one of only two everglade systems in the world.

Your adventure begins at the iconic Carlo Sandblow in Rainbow Beach, where we bid farewell to civilisation and step into the wild...

As this is a fully supported hike with a guide accompanying you the entire way, we are mindful that some people are happy to hike with a full pack (approximately 15kg) for 5 days and some people would prefer to hike with a day pack (3-5kg) for as much time as possilbe.

  • Discovery: Guided, full pack, tent accomodation, basic but healthy and nutritious food, hikers camp accomodation locations with basic facilities.

  • Indulgence: Light packs, nutritious and delicious meals, Accomodation with beds, kitchens, flushing toilets and hot showers where possible.

Luxury in the Wilderness - The ‘indulgence’ package

Adventure Tribe’s Cooloola Great Walk ‘indulgence’ package is designed to provide the highest level of comfort possible in this remote environment. There are no cabins or permanent facilities within the park and Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service regulations prevent operators from introducing new infrastructure.

Despite these restrictions, we’ve worked extraordinarily hard to deliver a sense of wilderness luxury — combining expert preparation, appropriate gear and thoughtful touches to make your experience as easy, comfortable and unforgettable as possible.

With strictly limited group sizes, your journey is personal, immersive and focused entirely on you and your time in the wilderness.

We just finished the Cooloola great walk. Fantastic experience and expertly guided by Kris and Chontelle. Very good equipment and planning... Above all it was a lot of fun and definitely 5 stars. Thinking about the Carnarvon gorge walk next!
