TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN MAP

Leave the Gold Coast behind and enjoy a full day exploring Tamborine Mountain without needing to drive. This flexible hop on hop off experience includes return coach transfers from the Gold Coast plus unlimited access to the local loop on the mountain, so you can create your own itinerary.

Your day starts with the Gold Coast shuttle, departing from convenient central pickup points and travelling up into the hinterland. On arrival at Tamborine Mountain, you’ll transfer to the Hop On Hop Off Mountain Loop, which runs throughout the day between participating wineries, breweries, distilleries, cafés, Gallery Walk and key attractions.

You’re free to choose where you go and how long you stay. Hop off for tastings at local wineries and breweries, relax over lunch at a café, browse boutiques and gift shops along Gallery Walk, or visit short walks and lookouts for sweeping views over the Scenic Rim and Gold Coast hinterland.

When you’re ready to move on, simply meet the next bus and let the driver know your next stop. In the afternoon, you’ll rejoin the Gold Coast shuttle for a comfortable return to your original pickup area, ending the day with fresh mountain air, local flavours and a relaxed taste of the hinterland – on your own schedule.

(Add-ons such as Glow Worm Caves and Rainforest Skywalk can be booked separately or combined under other tour options.)
