Forest Sky Pier

The Forest Sky Pier is a spectacular architectural feature providing the panoramic views over the Coffs Coast and Hinterland. Cantilevered off the edge of Sealy Lookout in Orara East State Forest, the Forest Sky Pier projects 22 metres out over rainforest, 15 metres above the forest canopy. The Forest Sky Pier is a 5-10 minute drive off the Pacific Highway through banana plantations and forest, taking in amazing views as you travel up the hill side. It's a must-see destination for the North Coast.

Mutton Bird Island Lookout

Reviewed By KaisAhm - Port Macquarie, Australia

Extremely beautiful and peaceful. Although bit of a steep walk up and down the hill. But worth it. Its a place where you can just sit and relax for hours and enjoy the great views, the breeze and not get over it.

The Big Banana Fun Park

In 1964 John Landi wanted something to make passing traffic stop at his road side banana stall. He had heard of a "Big Pineapple" in Hawaii and thought that something big would definitely stop traffic. With assistance of 1200 pounds and local engineer, Alan Chapman, The Big Banana could become a reality. Builder Alan Harvey started the construction in September 1964 and the biggest banana in the world and Australia's first "Big Thing" was officially opened on December 22 that year. The Big Banana now boasts the biggest Water Park between Sydney & the Gold Coast, an Ice Skating Rink, Toboggan Ride, "The World of Bananas" theatre and tour experience, state-of-the-art Laser Tag arena, 36 hole Mini Golf Course, the biggest Giant Slide in the country known as "The Racer", Go Bananas Fun Zone, 4D Ride Simulator, Gift Shop, Going Bananas Cafe, Candy Making Kitchen, Opal Centre, Cheesemaking Workshop and Steve McEwans Reptile World. The Big Banana Fun Park, "It's a Whole Bunch of Fun!"

Our family visit to the Big Banana was soooo much fun. We did most of the rides, Waterpark, Toboggan, Mini golf just to name a few. Our favourite was the Ice skating, who new Coffs Harbour has an Ice Rink! Added bonus the cafe did excellent coffee and the kids loved all the choices at the Ice Creamery

The Clog Barn

Reviewed By Compass451850 - Gold Coast, Australia

Seeing clogs being made is an eye opener, waliking through the miniature village of Holland is also fun to see and you also learn some history, so its a learning experience as well. Café next door, great little pit stop

Coffs Harbour Jetty

Reviewed By trdonna - Sydney, Australia

Fabulous beach for junior surfer and gentle waves for not so confident swimmers too. There is a coffee van, and a snack van right there - though that may only be in the warmer months. Went for a walk along the jetty to the end and saw a dolphin playing at the end, then on our walk back down the jetty we saw a sea turtle and two sting rays. It was a delightful experience. Right near the marina and yacht club, we visited here three times during our 1 week visit to Coffs

Raleigh International Raceway

Reviewed By seanw194 - Sydney, Australia

My son loves Karts. This course is over a Klm long and the karts are 7hp. Best of all my boy and I can race each other unlike the tracks I take him to in Sydney. The owner Chris is a really nice guy and the setting is only 20-30min outside Coffs.
