Tour Details

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, indulge in a hoppy delight at a Local Craft Beer Brewery (wildcard choice of Brewery), where you’ll have the opportunity to savour an enticing beer-tasting paddle. Step into a world of flavorful craftsmanship as you sample a variety of finely crafted beers. From hoppy IPAs to smooth stouts, there’s a brew to tantalise every taste bud. Immerse yourself in the artistry of beer-making, as passionate brewers share their expertise and guide you through the flavours and aromas that make each brew unique.

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

Fasten your seatbelt, select your favourite tunes, and we’ll whisk you away to the historic gold town of Gympie, nestled along the winding Mary River and surrounded by a tapestry of national parks.

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).

Dave took us to Eumundi markets today. He was punctual, friendly, welcoming and efficient. The trip was made even better with his informative banter throughout the journey. We would thoroughly recommend his services to those back in New zealand. Thanks Dave for a wonderful day today.Martin Lesleigh and Paula

We took the Eumundi Markets Group Transfer Tour on Saturday 7/9/24. It was perfect. We were picked up from our accomodation at Noosa Lakes Resort and dropped off at the market. Three hours at the market was just the right amount of time to see everything. We were then picked up and taken back to our accomodation. The bus was clean and comfortable. The drver was polite and friendly. We avoided any hassles with parking around the market. We thought it was well worthwhile and would recommend it.

We had a great tour yesterday with Rob and we enjoyed some magnificent scenery and towns that we had not experienced on previous trips to the Sunshine Coast Rob was a very attentive and professional driver and tour guide who went out of his way to ensure all of the people on the tour were well catered for. We were on the food and wine tour as well and all four experiences were great. The cheese tasting, the wine and beer tasting the chocolate factory and last but not least the Christmas in July lunch at the stunning Secrets on the Lake where both the food and the venue were outstandinga highly recommended tour and thanks again Rob for making it an extra special occasion
Response from the owner: Thank you David, what a lovely review to read, we'll be sure to pass on your feedback to Rob who I'm sure will appreciate your kind words. We hope to see you next time.

Friendly and knowledgeable driver and easy pick up with clear instructions. Good amount of time to spend at markets. Highly recommend this service if wanting to go to the Eumundi markets, plus you will avoid what appeared to be very busy carpark for people who drive there themselves. Thanks for the drive :)

Where do I begin. Jan picked us up from our hotel and I knew from the moment we met her we were in for a GREAT day. We felt so welcome and safe with her gentle reminder "seat belts on please". Our trip 'the scenic wine and food tour' was more than we could have expected. Jans cultural knowledge was exceptional..the places we stopped for photos and walking through the rainforest area were just wonderful. The food & wine tour was 5 star...beautiful venues to experience tastings of chocolate, cheeses, wine and then a magnificent 5 star 2 course lunch...we did not want the day to end. I was in the travel industry for 40 years and I can honestly say Jan is an absolute credit to your company and I will promote Coast to Hinterland Tours to anyone who comes to the Sunshine Coast.
Response from the owner: Hello Sharyn, thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to leave a full review. As the owner of the business. I have to agree. 100%. Jan is a true asset to the organisation. We are so glad you enjoyed your day with us and we certainly hope to see you next time.

We travelled up north and discovered this marvellous organisation! This was the first time we had done a tour led by someone else as we like to be independant when travelling. So we were a little cautious at first but Mark and Geoff were thoroughly professional and full of knowledge prior to the tour and during. We were extremely impressed and not only will recommend but we will be back again soon with more family and friends! Thank you Mark and Geoff!😀
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your kind words. It was our absolute pleasure to show you our piece of paradise.

Having had a positive experience many years ago visiting Eumundi Markets with Mark/Geoff, I was happy to rebook with them recently to visit the markets again. Three hours is a perfect amount of time to explore all the stalls and have something to eat. Rob was the perfect host and has great knowledge of the area. Highly recommended.
Response from the owner: So wonderful to see you visiting once again, i’m biased however I understand why you’ve returned to the Sunshine Coast 😁👍

We had the absolute pleasure, for the 2nd time, of booking Coast to Hinterland Tours for their fabulous 'Scenic, Food, Cheese and Wine Tour'. We had the lovely Jan to escort us as our Tour Guide and Mini Bus driver. The Hinterland scenery was spectacular and the quaint little villages, chocolate factory, cheese & wine tasting and the lovely 2 course lunch at 'Secrets on the Lake' were all absolutely amazing. It's so easy to book online. A special thanks to Mark, who went out of his way to make sure our Tour still went ahead, after several people cancelled at the last minute. And a big thanks to Jan. We thoroughly recommend Coast to Hinterland Tours.
Response from the owner: Thank you David, what a lovely review. Super glad you enjoyed our Scenic Food and Wine Tour and equally pleased we were able to run the tour for you so as not to miss out.

Truly enjoyable experience. Eumundi Markets is the best market I have ever been to in Australia. Full of unique and beautiful artisan items. Rob of Coast to Hinterland Tours looked after us well and safely. He is very knowledgeable and very passionate about sharing his local knowledge of the area. Highly recommend this trip.
Response from the owner: Thank you Shirley, Rob indeed is an asset to the business. I trust your retail therapy was well worth it :) Thank you for booking with us.

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.
