Our host Jan, was amazing. She was very prompt, knowledgeable, & courteous. We would highly recommend Coast to Hinterland Tours. We went places we wouldn't have on our own. Lunch was our favorite part. The food & views were spectacular. In some cases they even pick you up & drop you off at your primary location. Thank you, Jan!

Two great tours 😊 The first through the Hinterland with stunning scenery and a delicious lakeside lunch. Thanks, Rob! We also enjoyed a half-day trip to the Eumundi Markets. Thanks, Dave! Easy to book, friendly drivers, door-to-door service, and no parking hassles at the markets. Highly recommended.

A great day at Eumundi Markets. Met by our friendly and very helpful driver and guide Dave . We had a very comfortable scenic tour from Mooloolaba via Maroochydore, Coolum, Noosa with Dave sharing some very interesting knowledge of each area, before arriving at the markets. We were dropped and picked up in a great comfortable, central location after Dave explained the layout with helpful suggestions for the market. We had 3 hours wandering around before being met by Dave and driven back to Moolooloba. A comfortable, friendly and easy way to see the markets plus a lot more. Thank you Dave you were great. We will recommend this tour to our friends and family.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Helen. I'll be sure to pass on your feedback and comments to Dave. Thank you for leaving a review.

We had a group of 8 on a golf trip to the Sunshine Coast in July and Peter provided us with the transport from the airport then to and from each of the golf courses we played over 5 days then back to the airport. He was flexible with pick up times after golf which allowed us to have a few beers after the game. Peter was very professional with all he did but did so in a friendly and informal manner. We also got to meet his dog Roma who shared a couple of trips home from the golf course - particularly good for those who had a tough day on the course and appreciated the company. I have no hesitation in recommending the service of Coast to Hinterland Tours.
Response from the owner:Great to hear Gary and I certainly know that Peter would be pleased to introduce you to Roma! Thank you for taking the time to leave a five star review for our golf transfer service.

This was a lovely day out cheese tasting, shopping, enjoying a delicious lunch and seeing the beautiful towns of Maleny and Montville while also driving through Flaxton and Mapleton. We saw the lovely Glasshouse mountains and topped it off by seeing Mapleton falls. Our tour guide Peter was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend.

Rob was an absolute standout as our tour guide and bus driver! He was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and professional from start to finish. Our group of 9 had a fantastic day exploring beautiful wineries and distilleries — everything ran smoothly, and Rob’s expert knowledge, safe driving, and warm personality made the whole experience truly memorable and enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better host. Highly recommended!
