Experience the Thrill: Unleash Your Inner Sharpshooter with Our Exclusive Clay Target Shooting Tour!

What to Expect

We’ll drive you through the spectacular scenery of the Sunshine Coast to the historic gold mining town of Gympie, the town that saved Queensland from going flat broke.

There’s no time for any traditional gold-panning (which still goes on) because your first stop is the Gympie Clay Target Club, where you can try your hand at clay pigeon shooting in safety and style. You’ll be kitted out with the right equipment and now’s the time you’ll find out if you’re a crack shot or if your friends should be running screaming away from you. (Not really. Safety is the Club’s number one priority).

We think you’ll have worked up an appetite so at lunchtime we’ll chauffeur you to the Pomona Distilling Company, nestled at the foot of Mt Cooroora in the Noosa hinterlands. You’ll receive a warm welcome from the team and have the opportunity to taste some exquisite gins and of course a delicious lunch.

After lunch, based on your drop-off location, wrap up your culinary journey with a visit to one of the Sunshine Coast’s standout breweries, tailored to your drop-off location. Whether it’s the bold flavors at The Boiling Pot Noosa, the laid-back vibe of 10 Toes Brewery Buderim, the iconic creations at Your Mates Brewery Warana, or the award-winning brews at Moffat Beach Brewing Co., this stop offers a personalized craft beer experience. Indulge in a tasting paddle and immerse yourself in the artistry of beer-making, discovering the unique flavors and aromas crafted by passionate brewers.

Highlights
  • Expert-Led Clay Pigeon Shooting: Enjoy a two-hour session of clay pigeon shooting at the Gympie Clay Target Club, where experts will help hone your skills in this classic sport.
  • Gourmet Lunch at Pomona Distillery: Relish a sumptuous lunch at the Pomona Distillery Co., where each dish is a celebration of local produce and culinary craftsmanship.
  • Signature Gin Indulgence: Savor the nuances of a handcrafted “perfect serve” gin drink at Pomona Distilling Co., tailored to complement the flavours of your meal.
  • Craft Beer Discovery: Conclude your adventure with a curated beer-tasting paddle at one of the Sunshine Coast’s esteemed craft breweries, exploring a variety of unique and local brews

Lunch at Pomona Distilling Company

Next, we retreat to the chic and casual Pomona Distilling Company. It’s not just a place to dine; it’s an experience, with its airy spaces, trendy street front, and a hidden gem of a beer garden. Indulge in a scrumptious lunch and immerse yourself in the artisanal world of gin, crafted by Master Distiller Robin Yates.

Taste the local flair in each gin blend, enhanced by the finest juniper berries, and don’t miss the chance to elevate the moment with a handcrafted cocktail (note: gin tasting and cocktails are additional delights on your journey).

A great day and really well organised.
Staff couldn't be more helpful and informative
Response from the owner:Thank you, Ralph. It was our pleasure.
Jill G.
Definitely worth visiting Eumundi Markets. Using Coast to coast hinterland tours was the best decision rather than trying to get parks if going in own vehicle.
Peter was excellent as gave us interesting information on the way over
Response from the owner:That is wonderful to her hear Jill. Thank you for leaving your review.

I recently did the Eumundi market trip with Rob who was excellent. Picked up on time and Rob was knowledgeable and friendly. An easy, carefree way to experience the markets.

I also did the scenic culinary tour with Peter who was great! He was able to share lots of information about the places we went too. Lunch was incredible and the tour did not feel rushed at all! Highly recommend Coast to Hinterland.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Rachel. That’s wonderful you had a positive experience on both of our trips. We certainly hope you enjoyed your visit to the Sunshine Coast and we hope to see you next time.

His knowledge of the area was excellent.
Thanks Peter, Carol and I had a wonderful day

KERRIE H.
Thursday 2nd July Hi Great day with driver Dave who was so helpful with the bus load of ladies. I was the only one going to Ginger Factory plenty of time at both Ginger factory and Nut factory across the road. Please give my thanks to Dave. I had front seat and easy conversation with Dave some ladies went to Market and also had a great day with many purchases. Picked up on time from my accommodation Great tour would recommend Kerrie
Response from the owner:That's wonderful to hear Kerrie. Thank you so much for leaving a review. I'll pass on your comments to Dave..
Zoe M.
Dave was lovely! Very friendly and helpful, and down for a chat. Van was very clean and neat. Dave offered to show some of the guests where a place to book boat tours were after he dropped the rest of us off. Also offered to drop us off closer to our hotels/resorts on the way home as there is less of a time constraint. Would highly recommend.
Only note, they need to fix where it says to be picked up. There is NO pick up point at the Coco, first pick up point is the Mantra. We confirmed the pick up point the day prior to our tour.
Response from the owner:Thank you Zoe. Yes we do understand the confusion with pick ups, when you book through travel agents Unfortunately sometimes they give slightly different information. However the official pick ups from Mooloola bar are exactly as you said mantra Mooloolaba beach and sea life Mooloolaba. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review.

Timing was perfect for pick up and drop off, food was delicious, chocolates and wine and 2 course lunch included in the culinary package. Highly recommended; will tell our friends and family.

Wow what a day!!! We had a wonderful day today celebrating our 18 year wedding anniversary by doing the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Scenic Culinary Experience! Our tour guide Lucas was so awesome - he was fabulous from start to finish. We had such a lovely relaxing day celebrating with yummy cheese tastings, chocolate tastings, wine tastings, a divine 2 course lunch @ Secrets on the Lake too.
There was also plenty of time to explore the beautiful scenery/lookouts and time to wander the fabulous little boutique shops and just breathe in the fresh air!
Would highly recommend this day tour!
Thank you and it’s a day my hubby and I will always remember!

amanda
Had a fabulous day with C2H tours. Jan was friendly, informative, professional and created a super fun and relaxed day. Thx for your confident driving and local knowledge. Wld definitely tour with you again. Helped that the weather was also stunning. Only small thought is if they dont produce their own cheese maybe pick another form of produce or do the co-op dairy tour. But all in all a super fun day and the sneaky treehouse tour was a fabulous bonus thx heaps Jan 🙏🏻💖 loved it
Response from the owner:Wonderful review and thanks you for the constructive feedback regarding the cheese stop.
Amanda R.
We had a wonderful time on our transfer and time at Eumundi markets. Peter was very kind and we enjoyed hearing all the information he told us about the surroundings. Thank you Peter for a lovely day!

We had a wonderful tour, Lucas our guide and driver is amazing. The venues, sites, commentary and timings had the goldilocks effect, not too long, not too short, just right. Both my husband and I would highly recommend this tour, we have visited the Sunshine Coast many times but taking this tour opened our eyes and experiences to things we never know were there. Such a lovely, lovely day and Lucas is wonderful

Fabulous day with Jan who was knowledgeable, thoughtful, very friendly and inclusive. We enjoyed a day in the hinterland learning much about the area and indulging in yummy food. Maleny and Montville were charming and great local artisan experiences, gifts and food. Highly recommend.

Myself & a friend went on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Scenic Culinary Experience: Discover Montville and Maleny, I feel for what we got from the tour it was very overpriced. We went cheese tasting at a shop in Maleny & then "chocolate tasting" at a different shop, we were offered to try a piece of 3 different chocolates on a plate in the middle of the shop floor. It would have been a better experience if we went somewhere that showed you how the cheese and/or chocolate was made. There were 5 of us in total in the trip & we were all under the impression that we would be visiting a winery at some point but all we received were two glasses of wine at lunch. The town of Maleny was beautiful, we had lunch at Secrets by the lake & it was wonderful we then headed for Montville but unfortunately by the time we arrived there most of the shops were closed or closing. Our tour guide for the day was Lucas & he was fantastic, very knowledgeable, very friendly & a lot of fun, he was the person that made the tour worthwhile. For $275 per person I feel we should have been offered more.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Scenic Culinary Experience. We’re sorry to hear the tour didn’t fully meet your expectations. While our website reflects the inclusions, we agree it may need a review to ensure everything is clearer. Your constructive feedback is very much appreciated, as it helps us ensure we meet and exceed expectations in the future.

We did the Scenic Food and Wine tour today with our guide Jan and a wonderful family from Norway. What a day! Jan was amazing, fun, and knowledgeable. Do this tour everyone if you have a day free. The wine, chocolate, and cheese tasting were great. the meal and hospitality at Secrets on the Lake were perfect, and Jan made sure we had time to tour the townships, spend time viewing beautiful scenery and we had the chance encounter paragliding launch. Top tour and guide
Response from the owner:And what a perfect time to visit the Sunshine Coast Andrea to explore our Hinterland region thank you for the review

Thank you for a great day.

We had a fabulous time at all 3 venues.

We all particularly wanted to compliment your driver, Dave.

He went well above and beyond for us throughout the day and is a huge benefit to your tour company.

He deserves to be acknowledged for his efforts and we expressed our sincere appreciation to him on Saturday.

Thanks again for a great day.
