Sometimes you just want a ‘stop and drop’ holiday. Other times you want to take it all in - get active, try new things. If you’re in the second camp and you’re staying at Reflections Holiday Parks Nambucca Heads you’re in luck.
Here are ten unusual, active or just simply memorable things to do in Nambucca Heads.
Go whale watching
You never forget the first time you see a whale. Watching them soaring and tail-slapping along the humpback highway is awe-inspiring and Nambucca Heads is a great place to take in the action. See if you can spot them from the top of Nambucca Heads Holiday Park, or walk to the Captain Cook lookout which is famous as a whale watching hotspot. Don’t forget the binoculars!
Look out for the gliders
Just 100 metres north of Nambucca Heads Holiday Park is a prime location for hang gliders and para gliders. Watch as they soar the coastal breezes of the headlands and keep an eye out for any curious sea eagles flying alongside them! For details visit the Mid North Coast Flyers.
Visit the Pub with No Beer
An easy 40-minute drive from Nambucca Heads is where you’ll find the famous Pub with No Beer. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of beer flowing. And a pizza lounge and restaurant too.
Learn to surf
Do you want to improve your surfing, or even just stand up on a board? Then contact the crew at the Trent Munro Surf Academy for the tricks of the trade. They offer private and group lessons for adults and kids and they also have soft boards for hire.
Do some graffiti
Say what now? Not that kind of graffiti. We’re talking about the famous V-Wall, the outdoor breakwall gallery where everyone is encouraged to paint a rock. Leave a holiday message, some inspirational food-for-thought or just embrace your inner-artist. After all that creativity you might be a little peckish, so head to the nearby V-Wall Tavern for delicious fresh seafood.
Make a splash
Want to explore the Nambucca River in a way that’ll really get the heart pumping? With Nambucca River Water Ski and Wake Sports you can have a water-skiing lesson, go out on a tube, try wake-boarding, or even give knee-boarding a go. You won’t forget this in a hurry!
Get cultural
Learn about the local Indigenous culture with Unkya Cultural Eco Tours. Choose from the 1.5-hour Gurruuja Juun (Whale Tail Tour) or the 3.5-hour Gaagal Wanggaan Eco Tour. Listen, learn and discover the rich cultural heritage of the Gumbaynggirr people.
Head to the shed
The Nambucca Boatshed is the place to hire kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, motor boats and all sorts of fishing gear. With a boat ramp right next door it’s easy to enjoy a day out on the Nambucca River. There’s also a café famous for its coffee, food and beautiful views.
Go on a day trip
Nambucca Heads Holiday Park is a great place for exploring the region. Head north to Coffs Harbour for its famous attractions and natural wonders or journey inland to the picturesque and historic Bellingen and Dorrigo. The Waterfall Way is another unforgettable Coffs Coast experience.
Take a hike
Nothing beats a good old-fashioned stroll and Nambucca Heads has plenty of walks to choose from. Check out the Nyambagga Walking Trail, an interpretive walking track which joins the V-Wall to the main beach. Beautiful scenery and interesting information to boot.
