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!

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.
