Noosa tours & holidays

Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. It's important to understand that each country you visit may have its own specific entry requirements, and some destinations mandate travel health insurance for all foreign travellers, regardless of their nationality.

Your leader will record your travel insurance details on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is an essential part of every journey.

The best time to visit Noosa is typically during summer, from December to February, when average temperatures are around 27°C and the weather is at its best. However, this time of year is known for high humidity, with January and February reaching a peak humidity of 66 per cent in the late afternoon.

The weather in the autumn and spring seasons is similar to summer. However, March is one of the wettest and most humid months, so be mindful of that when booking your trip.

Winter is also a great time to visit Noosa as the weather is warm, but there are fewer crowds.

Located in northern Queensland, Noosa enjoys a subtropical climate with warm temperatures for most of the year.

While Noosa's temperatures are quite mild, you can still experience hot weather past 30°C. High temperatures are most likely to occur in January (the hottest month of the year), so try travelling in a different month if you're looking for cooler weather. 

Humidity levels are high from January to March, and rainfall is moderate, though it generally doesn't last for very long.

While temperatures in winter (from June to August) are the coolest in the year, it is by no means cold, with the average around 20°C. However, temperatures can drop to an average of 10°C at night, so it's best to carry a light jumper or cardigan to avoid being cold. 

Thanks to its subtropical climate, winter in Noosa rarely sees rain, with August being the second driest. This is good news for those who want to take advantage of Noosa's natural beauty as you'll still be able to lay on the beach, hike through lush rainforests, and enjoy other outdoor activities without the fear of rain ruining your plans.

Noosa is a laid-back destination so pack casual clothes such as active wear for enjoying Noosa National Park, casual dresses and shorts and t-shirts.

Pack a few smart-casual outfits or resort wear if you're planning on visiting any of the more upmarket restaurants and bars on Hastings Street.

Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat are a must, even in winter, as the sun reflects off the sparkling ocean.
