About this tour
A 10-hour guided tour from Brisbane into the Sunshine Coast hinterland and beaches. You'll visit Montville's artisan precinct and Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve for views across the Glass House Mountains, then head to Eumundi Markets to browse local craftwork and produce. The route continues to Noosa Heads where you have time to swim, walk the coastal trails through the national park, or simply sit by the water. Your guide shares local knowledge throughout, and the small group size (max 21) keeps things unhurried and personal.

What to expect
You'll spend the morning driving north from Brisbane through the hinterland, stopping at Montville to wander its galleries and cafés at your own pace. Next is Mary Cairncross Reserve, where a short walk rewards you with panoramic mountain views. After exploring Eumundi Markets—a long-running weekend gathering of farmers, artisans, and food stalls—you'll continue to Noosa. There you get roughly 3–4 hours free time. Some people swim or sunbathe; others tackle the coastal trail through Noosa National Park where you might spot wallabies and sea eagles. It's a relaxed day with structured stops and unstructured downtime mixed through.
Good to know
Bring swimmers and sunscreen if heading to the beach or national park. Lunch isn't included, though Eumundi Markets and Noosa both have food options. No hotel pickup—meet at a central Brisbane location or use nearby public transport. The tour runs rain or shine, so pack a light jacket. Children under 16 need an accompanying adult.
