Our tour was 8 people (our party was of 4) on a minibus.
The day started by visiting the Maleny Cheese Factory - excellent cheese tasting. From here, we visited a lookout of the Glasshouse Mountains. We then had time in Maleny which included a small chocolate tasting and selection of our free chocolate. We then had the opportunity to look through the interesting local shops - very enjoyable cute town.
We then visited Clouds winery where we did a flight of wines. At this point it was clear that our small group really clicked and we had a fun time at the wine tasting.
We then went to Secret’s of the Lake at Montville for lunch. A beautiful location which should be considered for accomodation! After lunch, we visited the town of Montville (also another cute tourist town) and viewed the Mapleton falls.
I highly recommend doing this tour. It was a lot of fun and we got to see things we ordinarily would not have. Thanks very much!

Dave went above and beyond to ensure the trip was just as enjoyable as the rest of the day.

We had a great private tour with Peter. The tour was varied stopping at a waterfall and other good vantage points of the beautiful Hinterland countryside for pictures. Peter had lots of local info and the tour included wine tasting, schnapps and a filling meal at a German restaurant followed by more drinks at another bar. A good way to sample the lovely area of the central Sunshine Coast.
Great driver, pleasant drive
we just had to run to catch the bus as there was confusion with our pick up point.
Your service was prompt, efficient, friendly and supportive. The minibus was very clean and comfortable and Mark, a pleasant driver. We were provided with appropriate seating for ourselves and our toddlers and baby. Because of the unpredictable weather conditions we were provided with an optional earlier pick up from Australia Zoo, which we didn’t take. We had a great day and appreciated this option for transport for our family outing and will certainly use the service again.
We had such a great time with Coast to Hinterland Tours for my Hens party. Steve our driver was punctual, friendly and ensured we enjoyed our day. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend!
Thanks Jan for looking after our group. Very accommodating to our needs
