Terrific ways to tour the Coffs Coast!

Lydia Crossingham • June 3, 2021

There are so many sights to see around the Coffs Coast which can be visited by Air, Land and Water. Our top picks are below.

Air

1.     Helicopter – Soar the skies and swoop in close to Muttonbird and other iconic locations within the comfort of a helicopter. Precision Helicopters is certainly our pick and offers everything from scenic flights to full-on tours to the abandoned lighthouse on South Solitary Island!

2.     Hot Air Balloon – Step away from the noise of a Heli and indulge in the quiet serenity of a hot air balloon, drifting over Coffs Harbour as you’re pushed ever gently by the wind. It’s a bucket list item for many and Balloon Flight Specialist is our foremost recommendation.

3.     Skydive – If the safety of a helicopter or hot air balloon is yawn-inducing then join the motley crew at Skydivers Coffs who you’ll see plummet from the sky and deploy their chutes in true Mission Impossible style.


Land

1.     Trike – With a partner you can roar across the roads atop a three-wheeled motorcycle with completely customised package options. Coffs Harbour Trike Tours is your go-to!

2.     Segway – Have a great time soaring on your all-terrain Segway! Time Out Adventures is our recommendation for booking this kooky form of transport!

3.     Bicycle – Riding a bike is certainly a universally beloved activity, and there’s so many beautiful trails along the coastline and amidst the bush for you to enjoy. Check out Montem Bike Tours for your booking.

4.     Foot – For a full breakdown of the glorious walking trails you can visit our dedicated blog post. Aside from that, there’s also the locally run Bite Food Tours, for customised food tours to the finest venues!

 

Water

1.     Kayaking & Canoeing – No experience is required to enjoy a pleasant, memorable and scenic tour out to the ocean within the safety and comfort of a canoe or kayak. C-Change Adventures is a particular Coffs favourite!

2.     Boat – Enjoy an adventure boat ride out among the Solitary Islands and departing conveniently from Coffs Harbour Marina. You’ll certainly want to hang on to your hats and sunnies for this one! Check out Jetty Dive for your booking. If Whale watching is more your thing, then consider Whale Watch Experience also.
