The Best Queensland Experiences for Solo Travellers

While family holidays, friend-cations, and romantic escapes are all in high demand, solo travel is also becoming remarkably sought-after. You don’t need a travel companion to find yourself on holiday. Take the opportunity to travel Queensland on a solo adventure that will give you an experience you’ll remember forever.

Going solo has many benefits, such as self-discovery, introspection, independence, easier decision-making, full control of itineraries, meeting new people, openness to new experiences, digital disconnection, plus peace and quiet. Read: FREEDOM. Here, we reveal our top five ultimate solo experiences in Queensland.

Fall in love with travelling solo.

Nature Walk Through Gold Coast’s Hinterland

Nature Walk Through Gold Coast’s Hinterland

One of our favourite treks to bush walk is hidden in Gold Coast’s lush hinterland. Twin Falls Circuit in Springbrook National Park is the perfect place to meditate, unwind, and immerse yourself in nature on one of the most stunning hikes available to you. Ever noticed that when you trek alongside a friend, you’re so immersed in conversation that you almost entirely disregard your surroundings? Not so when solo hiking. The appeal of walking solo is that you can clear your mind, be fully present, and soak in your environment. Everything seems a little more vibrant. Reconnect with nature and reduce overwhelm.

If you’re drawn to the coastline, head to Burleigh Heads National Park – a wild rainforest alongside stunning ocean views. Whichever you choose, walking solo is bound to have many benefits. Stay on the Gold Coast with My Queensland to enjoy your lush walking adventure.

Treat Yourself to a Soak Session in Southeast Queensland

There’s nothing like completely disconnecting whilst on holiday, especially in a tropical setting like Queensland. A soak session at Soak Bathhouse in Gold Coast’s Mermaid Waters or Brisbane’s West End offers a chance to reset. Enjoy facilities such as mineral pools, saunas, steam rooms, cold plunges, and hot spas. 

Embracing a holistic approach to wellness, soaking in magnesium pools has many benefits including sport recovery, mindfulness, improved mental health, immunity, skin health, relaxation, and more. It’s the perfect place to immerse yourself in water and carve quality time for yourself. Book yourself a weekend or week on the magnificent  Gold Coast and feel the change in your physical and mental state.

Get Creative on the Sunshine Coast

Get Creative on the Sunshine Coast

Flying solo is the perfect opportunity to get those creative juices flowing again. And remember, everyone is creative – it’s human nature to create on many levels. Join a pottery workshop with Syndicate Creative in Maroochydore, giving yourself a chance to slow down and make an artisan piece you’ll hold dear forever. Produce delicious loaves of sourdough in Buderim using ancient artisan techniques. Indulge your inner artist and take a Sip ‘n Paint class outdoors, learning every brushstroke with Frida’s Studio Mooloolaba. For a solo experience that will push you outside your comfort zone and allow you to take treasures home with you, the Sunshine Coast is buzzing with creativity.

Marvel Through Brisbane’s Museums at Your Own Pace

Marvel Through Brisbane’s Museums at Your Own Pace

The truth is, walking through museums and galleries with friends or family isn’t ideal. You feel rushed when you want to engage, or you feel bored when you wish to move on. When you visit these attractions on your own, you set the tone and marvel at your own pace.

Spend several hours exploring Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA). An institution across two buildings along the river, the gallery offers a collection of historical and contemporary art, as well as hosting everchanging and thought-provoking Australian and international exhibitions. The Museum of Brisbane brings culture and history to life and provides a range of engaging activities. Queensland Museum hosts a breathtaking display of science, biology, and artifacts, while SparkLab is an extraordinary place to open your mind to the possibilities of science and technology. Bookworms and art aficionados will love getting lost in the State Library of Queensland. Base yourself in Brisbane with My Queensland for the perfect artistic solo adventure.

Getting There

While the Sunshine State is an idyllic holiday destination for families, friends, and lovers, there’s something very special about exploring the beauty of Queensland with yourself. After all, there’s nothing quite like discovering a new place all on your own. Reconnect with yourself and book your perfectly packaged solo getaway today with a friendly My Queensland Expert.
