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.

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

Bruce M.
We would have liked to have fine weather for the Culinary tour experience of the Hinterland. The tastings were good and the lunch stop was very scenic. Our bus driver, Lucas, was very helpful and did his best to accommodate the dreadful weather. No lookout photos, just whiteout. I'm sure that in good weather, this trip would be well worth the time as it is a beautiful part of the Sunshine Coast and a great day out.
Response from the owner:Thank you Bruce, one thing we can't control is the weather on the day however the Hinterland has its own climate to some degree. Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review.

Kudos to Coast to Hinterland Tours, we had an early staff Christmas Party yesterday, what an absolute awesome day we all had.

They personally picked us up from Mooloolaba with our tour
starting with a trip up to Mary Cairncross Rainforest reserve where we had a light morning tea with Bubbles of course 🥂

Then to Maleny Chocolate Factory where we could choose a take home gift 🎁 what a suprise. 🤗😋

Next stop was to King Ludwigs Restaurant, Bier & Wein Bar in Maleny for the most informative and entertaining wine / beer tasting ever 🍷🍺.Bravo 🙌🙌🙌

Gerrads lookout was next on our agenda and the views back to the Coast didn't disappoint .

Lunch was at Secrets on the Lake at Montville, such an awesome space so tranquil.

Oh my what a treat , such a beautiful lunch and dessert 😋 🥂🍺🍹we were each given a red rose on departure by the Matre d'
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
We felt very special! 😊

Our next destination The Flamehill winery where we sampled some lovely wines while looking over beautiful views 🍾🥃🥂

Last but certainly not least we ended our tour at Sunshine and Sons Distillery @ Woombye for Vodka, Gin and Rum tasting, owner Micheal and his lovely assistant Ash took us through a myriad of sensational tastes each one quite unique.

Our Tour guides Owner Mark aka 'Pine nuts' and his assistant Mark made our day delightful in every way nothing was too much trouble, their service was exemplary.
Thank you.😊
Response from the owner:So funny, who is this ‘pinenutz”. Thank you for taking the time to review. It was our pleasure to show you around the Hinterland for your Christmas social get-together.

We have just done the Sunshine Coast Private Wine tour with Coast to Hinterland, to say we had a sensational day is an understatement. We had an absolute ball, what a great day. Being a Monday quite a few of the places on the itinerary weren’t open, so Mark rehashed our itinerary with other venues, we stopped at the Sunshine and sons Gin distillery where Ash and Michael ran us through the making of and then the drinking of the gins, it was fabulous and beautiful Gin. After many laughs it was time to head back to the bus with our tour leader Jan, she was wonderful, nothing was too much trouble, she was funny, lighthearted and incredibly friendly. We visited the Barrel winery and lunch at the Montville Bar and Grill, which has a lovely alfresco eatery. Overall I would not hesitate to recommend this tour but also this company, they were wonderful to deal with.

We filled the bus with a party of 20 for my 40th.
We had Josie as our guide & she was absolutely fantastic. She had the rare trifecta of being both easy going & funny but also professional.
The day was really well executed with a great mix of different activities & locations.
My group had a ball on our tour! I would go again in a heartbeat.
