sunshine coast tour from brisbane

Things To Do

Tours on the Sunshine Coast are deliciously diverse, starring everything from local produce, craft beer, dolphins and scenic views. The best part is... you don’t have to plan a thing!  

When we’re the Craft Beer Capital of Australia , it makes sense that we’ve got some fabulous tours like the Coastal Hop Craft Beer Tour in the mix to showcase our offerings. Your only job is to raise a glass. Cheers!  

Creative Tours and Tasty Tours are some of our delicious food tour operators on the Sunshine Coast who’ll make sure you don’t go home hungry. Featuring plenty of local cuisine, inside information, and stop-offs at distilleries and farms, this is the ultimate way to taste all that our beautiful region has to offer.  

Only got a few hours left to spare in your itinerary? Not a problem. Check out Kanu Kapers’ half-day guided kayak tour of the magnificent Noosa Everglades! If you’re an animal lover, the Dolphin View Sea Kayak Tour by Epic Ocean Adventures Noosa will always be a winner. Alternatively, if you’re keen to take a spin on some wheels, check out the tour offerings from ecoTekk Sunshine Coast . Highlights include a picturesque e-bike tour across Maleny, where you’ll be in the prime position to spot platypus, view the Glass House Mountains, and explore the lush countryside – all in one spectacular ride.   

For those looking for a full day of activities, Joel’s Journeys is your go-to option – choose from a range of tour packages, including (but not limited to) a Maleny and Montville Tour, a Mary Valley Tour and a Rainbow Beach Tour. Plus, Joel was recently awarded Silver at the 2023 Australian Tourism Awards for Best Tour Guide, so you’ll be in safe hands! 

A full day tour not enough? The Gheerulla Loop Hike, guided by Outdoor Adventure Australia , covers two days and one night in the heart of the Sunshine Coast hinterland rainforest.

Experience overview:.

 * Sample Itinerary* 

Some say this is our best tour, but the Eumundi Markets only operate twice a week, so book early for this full day experience. Travel through the spectacular Blackall Ranges to Montville, Eumundi and Noosa and travel back down the Sunshine Coast to Yandina and the World's largest Ginger Factory. You will see spectacular views of the Glass House Mountains.

.  Travel North from Brisbane into the Blackall Ranges where you will experience fantastic views of the Queensland coastline. As you travel along the mountain ridges you pass through farms and quant villages.

.  Visit the new Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve and Lookout to enjoy the best views of the Glass House Mountains. You can have a stroll through the rainforest here if you wish and undertake a tree-top walk.

.  You will visit Montville perched on the Range and have free time (45min) to explore this quaint mountain village of art galleries and eclectic range of boutique shops. Excellent coastal views. Best place to grab some morning tea!

.  You cannot visit the Sunshine Coast without visiting the famous Eumundi Markets . This is Australia's premier artisan and country markets where you will find a large range of goods, art, food and characters. Suggested lunch stop. Free time to explore - 1 hour.

.  A half-hour drive brings us to Noosa , one of Australia's most popular beach destinations and the playground of the "rich and famous". The small size of this "village" nestled behind the National Park provides the exclusivity and uniqueness. Free time 1.5 hours.

. We leave Noosa and travel south past the beaches of Sunshine, Marcus, Peregian and Coolum Beaches before heading inland through the cane fields to Yandina.

.  Visit the World's largest operating Ginger Factory at Yandina . A short stop (30 min) will allow you to visit the Visitor's Centre and perhaps try their delicious ginger ice cream.

Proposal for Sunshine Coast hinterland to become stargazing destination with Dark Sky Reserve status

A Queensland region renowned for its multi-million-dollar wedding industry hopes to add stargazing to its tourism drawcard.

A proposal to establish a Dark Sky Reserve in the Sunshine Coast hinterland through the International Dark Sky Places Program is being considered by the local council.

A Dark Sky Reserve protects night skies through responsible lighting and public education. 

There are only five "dark sky places" in Australia and if the Sunshine Coast hinterland was accepted, local businesses believe it would attract national and international astro-tourism visitors.

The proposed reserve spans the Mary River catchment area and encompasses the townships of Maleny, Mapleton, Montville, Witta, Flaxton, Conondale, and Kenilworth.

Astronomers say, in the Obi Obi Valley, the Milky Way can sometimes be so bright it casts a shadow. 

Astronomer Ken Wishaw, a passionate stargazer and convener of the Maleny Observatory for the Brisbane Astronomical Society, says the mapped reserve offers prime locations for stargazing and astronomical studies.

"The hinterland skies are quite a spectacular thing to see," Dr Wishaw says.

Sunshine Coast Councillor Winston Johnston says, being near airports, the hinterland has a unique advantage to draw tourists eager for a stargazing experience.

Nearly all the other reserves are in remote areas, making them harder and more expensive to reach, he says.

"People from heavily light-polluted areas are often amazed by the stars they can see here.

"It's something that many have never experienced before."

Dr Wishaw, who is also on the board of the Australasian Dark Sky Alliance, has witnessed an increase in astrotourism over the past five years.

Through the Maleny Observatory's 14-inch telescopes, you can see 5-kilometre-long craters on the Moon, detail within the rings of Saturn and six of its moons, and galaxies out to 10 million light years.

"Whenever we run public stargazing nights, we get excellent attendance," Dr Wishaw says.

"Kids love it; people of all ages find it fascinating and educational.

"When they experience truly dark skies, they realise what they've been missing."

Residents' responsibilities

Dr Wishaw says 80 per cent of the world's population lives under "skyglow", which obscures stars at night. 

As the Sunshine Coast's population grows, light pollution is expected to increase, impacting on the quality of its night skies.

Dark Sky Reserves support responsible lighting practices, reducing light pollution and properly managing artificial lighting.

"Light pollution is a huge problem," Dr Wishaw explains.

"The best way to address this issue is through education and proper lighting practices."

Both Cr Johnston and Dr Wishaw says Dark Sky Reserve status would have a minimal impact on the 15,000 residents living in the area. 

"We'll be asking them to use LED lights and ensure they have light shields to direct light downwards," Cr Johnston says.

"Most people we talk to are really excited about it.

"We're not going to make it compulsory, but we'll encourage environmentally friendly lighting."

Cr Johnston says the initiative also has strong environmental benefits.

"Low lighting helps nocturnal animals that tend to avoid bright lights."

Amateur astronomer Owen Benedict from Wappa Falls Observatory says reducing light pollution would be a win for the environment.

"The environmental aspects outweigh the potential tourism benefits a reserve could bring," Mr Benedict says.

"Light pollution kills millions of bugs, which birds rely on for food, and that affects flower pollination.

"We need to automate our street lights with available technology."

Future in astrotourism

On Friday night, a group of eager stargazers bundled up for the inaugural astro-tourism tour under the proposed Dark Sky Reserve.

Lynn Fallon, tour manager of local attraction Mystic Mountain, says the night-sky journey attracted people of all ages and backgrounds.

"The experience changes one's perspective of the big picture," Ms Fallon says. 

"It's about slowing down and appreciating the beautiful universe we live in."

Hinterland Tourism Sunshine Coast president Kerry Brown views the proposed Dark Sky Reserve as a valuable addition to the region.

"We've seen a growing interest in astrotourism as families look to getting back to basics due to tougher financial times," Ms Brown says.

The Sunshine Coast Council has now called for public submissions on the proposal.

"The more people that can support us, the better," Dr Wishaw says.

"If there's a lot of community support, it reinforces the direction we're going.

Dr Wishaw says in a world increasingly brightened by artificial lights, the Sunshine Coast's Dark Sky Reserve offers hope and a glimpse into the natural wonder of the night sky.

"By making small changes in how we use light, we can ensure that the awe-inspiring beauty of the night sky remains a part of our natural heritage."
