Our seasoned guides, true experts of the area, invite you to delve into the Gold Coast Hinterland's rich tapestry of ecosystems, sharing their beloved haunts and the secrets of the region's diverse plant and animal life.
Set off on a tranquil early morning meander through a Coombabah Conservation Park, basking in the sight of kangaroos at rest in their natural lounge, effortlessly striking poses for your camera. Keep your eyes peeled for the more elusive koalas, a common and delightful sighting.
Ascend Tamborine Mountain for morning tea, delicious oven-fresh scones, topped with jam and cream and a selection of fine teas and coffees.
Time for shopping along Gallery Walk, the celebrated heart of Tamborine Mountain's art and craft scene, featuring exquisite, locally crafted goods. The region is fast gaining acclaim for its boutique wineries - take this chance to savour an exquisite glass of the local red, white, or fortified wine, perhaps even selecting a bottle to cherish at home. If hops and barley are more to your taste, the local brewery welcomes you to savour their craft through a tasting flight (at your own expense).
The mountain top views are unforgettable as you see the Gold Coast skyline like never before, get your camera ready for the perfect Instagram shoot location.
Our vehicles carry a limited stock of sunscreen and insect repellent. However, we do ask that you also bring your own if you require it. Our vehicles do not have luggage space therefore large bags, prams etc are not able to come on tour, please leave them at your hotel or residence.
A few key things to bring:
Weather: Our tours operate in almost all weather. Should we deem the conditions unsafe or miserable for our guests we may need to cancel and will advise you. Please ignore the weather forecast on your phones for the Gold Coast region etc. Depending on your tour we can travel in up to 4 weather regions. Often we can get coastal rain and this does not affect us when we go inland. A majority of our tours are conducted in Rainforest areas so it can rain from time to time.
Remember: If it doesn't rain, we don't have Rainforests and waterfalls
Infants: If you are travelling with infants we must know this at the time of booking so we can provide the appropriate child seat and restraint. Infants will not receive their own meal on tour.
“Take a light jacket or some warmer clothes with you as the temperatures in the Gold Coast Hinterland can be much cooler than down on the beach.”
