Fabulous hinterland tour. Would have liked a bit more time in Montville to explore more shops. Could have done without the chocolate shop in Maleny to allow more shop wandering time. Fabulous art galleries in the towns and magnificent lunch at Secrets on the lake. Fabulous day. Would do it again !!

We enjoyed a fabulous trip with Peter today. The tour was a great way to view all the hinterland sights and hear local knowledge and information. The chocolate, cheese and amazing lunch added to the experience. A great day out.

We had a great day out with Peter. He was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastically shared his experiences and insights about the hinterland. We had a great balance of guided tour and free time to explore. We enjoyed the cheese tasting at Maleny and free chocolate to take home 😊 The ‘secret’ lunch was just Devine!! Peter took us to great viewing platforms. Highly recommend for a day out exploring.

We booked this tour with no expectation or knowledge. We were collected from our accommodation bang on time and, as there were only eight of us, were at the markets nice and early our driver was fabulous. The drive was terrific. We were given three hours and then come back but no one was rushed.
I would highly recommend this tour. It is well priced ,on time ,clean and efficient and extremely friendly thank you Ron

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.

What a wonderful day - from pick up to drop off! Met by Dave who was friendly, chatty, extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He made sure we were all comfortable and happy and took us to many interesting places around the Hinterland. 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!

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

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

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.😊

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.

Accommodation pick-up was convenient, the venues and food were absolutely amazing, and our guide was an extremely knowledgeable and generous sharer of his expertise. A delightful way to discover all the Sunshine Coast had to offer ????

My bridesmaids organised a gin distillery tour through Coast to Hinterland Tours for my Hen’s Weekend. Mark was our guide/driver/expert photographer and helped to make it a wonderful day, maintaining his composure even when 10 women in their thirties started singing WAP in the back of the bus by 1pm.
The tour took us to 3 very different distilleries with lunch at Mr Jones & Me, and we left very happy and very full; the meal came with with an entree and main or dessert and main, and the entrees were so large we almost didn’t need the main also!
All of the distilleries had great gins, with the first also having cane spirit and rums and the second offering a beer paddle for those that wanted to switch it up. A discount on take home products was available at the first venue as an added benefit!
Thanks for a wonderful tour, and we’ll be using Coast to Hinterland again!

What a great day !! We arranged a surprise for our team at The Branding Office and booked our "Xmas Party Tour" with Coast to Hinterland Tours. From our initial inquiry with Grace, to a few inquiries with Mark and then our awesome driver John, it was a very relaxed, enjoyable and great team bonding day. John picked us up on time and we visited Sunshine Coast Cider, Secrets on the Lake, Maleny Chocolate, Clouds The Barrell & Spill Wine Maleny, with John then driving us all back home. Highly recommend the team from Coast to Hinterland Tours, thanks guys, we will be back.

Jan, our Tour Guide was fabulous! Her knowledge was exceptional.
We enjoyed every aspect of the tour but felt that the order of the venues was back to front. It started with a chocolate factory, cheese factory, lunch , and wine tasting.
We completely understand that things are done in order of where they are located, but a slight change could be cheese factory, lunch, wine tasting, and then chocolate.
I would have loved to hear more about each business by the owner instead of just putting their beautiful food in front of us and walking away.
That aside, we had a great day and enjoyed it immensely.
Thank you, Jan. We enjoyed having you as our guide, and you made the tour awesome for us.
All the best from Mike, Matt, and Paul (The Cheeky Kiwi's).
