Coffs Harbour Sydney Weekender

Explore Coffs Coast with Sydney Weekender

Golden sunshine, cool nights and bright blue skies – this is ‘winter’ on subtropical Coffs Coast.

It is an ideal time to venture out and explore the region’s sights and sounds – under the sea, from the air and on horseback. At the end of the day, enjoy fine food and wine, and a comfy bed to rest up for another day of discovery.

The 30-minute Coffs Coast special (5.30pm Saturday 30 May on Seven / Prime TV) showed Mike and the Sydney Weekender team doing a number of fun activities on Coffs Coast. And you can do the same!

On this expedition, Mike and the Sydney Weekender team take you on an adventure ride:

Felicity goes bush on horseback with Valery Trails.

Pete ventures below with Jetty Dive to meet some of Nemo’s cousins and ‘friendly’ Grey Nurse sharks.

Mike takes an exhilarating Precision Helicopter ride to South Solitary Island, enjoys a tour of the historic lighthouse cottages and chats with some of the Island’s past lighthouse keepers.

Get a birds-eye view with some amazing video footage of South Solitary Island now.

Mel is out wining and dining again in Woolgoolga and Coffs Harbour’s Jetty Strip.

And Erica has a great Hot Deal for you at Novotel Pacific Bay Resort.

So saddle, belt and buckle up for more adventures on Coffs Coast.
