We hired a mini bus to take family members to a party and back. Perfect service. Incredibly quick and easy to book, so easy I called to make sure I’d booked what I thought I had, great service. Prompt, great bus, just wonderful.

Booked the Eumundi Markets Transfer. David arrived at the time arranged and with one other guest we headed out of Mooloolaba. David was fantastic, passing on his knowledge of the area and the interesting aspects of the Sunshine Coast. He even took us on the scenic way back from the markets which was most appreciated.

Truly amazing day. Awesome locations, wine tasting and food, but most importantly incredible service from Dave. He was incredibly friendly, accomodating, knowledgeable, polite, and just an awesome person to have for the day. Not to mention he would have taken about 300 photos without a single complaint. Thanks so much Dave and the tour company, perfect experience and would recommend to anyone!

We just had a couple of transfers and were met with politeness and respect, in an immaculately clean minibus. Safe careful driving and interesting conversation helped to fill the time….we couldn’t ask for better service and recommend this company, especially considering the very reasonable pricing!

The day was exceptional. Our guide (Jeff) shared his local knowledge and ensured we were well informed as the the day progressed. Along the way we visited many local attractions and enjoyed a great lunch, our travel companions from Canberra made the day even more enjoyable.

What a fantastic day out! A huge thank you to Mark at Coast to Hinterland Tours for making a day with friends so special. We had plenty of time to enjoy each tasting place and had a huge amount of fun throughout the day. I would thoroughly recommend the Hinterland wine tasting tours with lunch!

Yesterday my husband and I went on a wine tasting Hinterland tour with Geoff our driver and a small group of people. From the time that Geoff arrived at our pickup point (on time) we had a very professional, friendly, fun and "foodie" day. Unfortunately the rain in the Hinterland made for a few damp walks and scenic lookouts but the hills looked very atmospheric shrouded in clouds and mist. Our cheese tasting in Maleny, wine tasting at the Barrel and beautiful lunch at Secrets at the Lake were all enjoyed and savoured. The belgian chocolates to take home were also a delight. Although our group differed in ages we all enjoyed each others company and the day. We would say it was a day well spent, thank you Geoff.

01:46 26 Jun 21

We had a wonderful day with Jeff and 2 other guests. A set of beautiful lookouts, a great lunch, the Ginger factory was far more interesting than I would have believed possible and ending with a pleasant stroll through the forest. Having someone guide you through the day with the knowledge of the area that Jeff has, only enhanced what would have been a superb day anyway.

I was discriminated against I suffer a disability in which I have a dog to help meShe is very well behaved the company let me go the first time and I booked again and they said they can't allow the dog due to someone suffering allergies this is a out right lie as the dog I have is a Japanese Spitz in which is allergy free and odourless that's another reason I got this dog as I suffer allergies I find this company very disapointing

We had the most amazing day on the scenic wine and food tour. We end up having a private tour with Geoff and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. The locations were breathtaking and food, and wine experience were Brilliant. We highly recommend and we most definitely will be booking another tour with Coast Hinterland Tours when we are back again.

My husband & I were gifted with this fabulous day from off Red Balloon and we both the best time. Right from the start when we booked we had exceptional customer service from Mark always being able to be contacted when we needed to ask questions. We were picked up from our location on time and Geoff was our tour operator/driver/guide for the day. He was extremely knowledgeable about the areas we visited and was friendly and accommodating. There was only 6 of us on this tour and we thoroughly enjoyed this relaxing day tour. Would definitely recommend 😀

We were picked up by Geoff on time. Geoff greeted us with a smile and made us feel very welcome. As we took off Geoff’s wealth of knowledge begin to flow out. He had an incredible amount of historical knowledge of the area. We got to our destination and felt like locals with the amount of knowledge that had been shared with us. The destinations we stopped at have been hand picked and were all fantastic. The day flew and I can’t recommend this tour enough. Hopefully you’re as lucky as us to have Geoff take you around this great area. Make sure to bring some loose change and pick up some roadside avocados.

Geoff was an awesome tour guide. His local knowledge is amazing and we loved his stories and especially the way that he integrated First Nation legends into these. The experiences were great - cheese tasting was to die for and lunch was awesome. The wine tasting was interesting and of course chocolate tasting was a great way to end our day. A highlight of the tour was also the great sight seeing stops we took on route. All up it was a fab day and I would highly recommend this tour and company to anyone.

An amazing Sunshine Coast tour, perfect way to spend a rainy day. Mark created a customized itinerary including Noosa, Montville (Secrets on the Lake for lunch and wine-tasting at Flame Hill Vineyard). Surprise stops at Buderim Ginger Factory and Nutworks for macadamia tasting and purchase. Geoff was so knowledgeable about local lore and history.. a treat to travel with. Thanks from Melina and Maura (Canada)

We had the pleasure of going on the Sunshine Coast & Noosa Private Tour. There were 4 adults so they provider a mini bus to ensure that we were very comfortable during our tour. Lunch was delicious and Jeff our tour guide was extremely accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great time but he made the trip a pleasure. We are so happy by our experience with this company that we are booking another tour with them. I would highly recommend this company.

A truly amazing tour operator! We booked a private Sunshine Coast Hinterland trip, and had Geoff as our guide. We were thoroughly impressed by the tour and the information Geoff provided. He paid attention to a lot of details such that my mom can't walk for too long and made prompt adjustments which make the trip really enjoyable. Mark replied to my email quickly and provided comprehensive information before the trip. Our overall experience is really positive, and we would certainly contact them again if we are going to have a vacation in Sunshine coast again. Their service deserves more than 5 stars!!!
