Meet passionate local producers, sample freshly brewed coffee at a working coffee plantation, and tour Tamborine Mountain’s oldest distillery for award-winning spirits and liqueurs. Complete your day with a delicious lunch accompanied by a glass of wine, beer, or juice at an award-winning local winery, with time to explore the famous ‘Gallery Walk’ for handmade crafts and additional tastings.

Mat was an amazing tour guide! The waterfalls were beautiful, and he even stopped along the way to show us wildlife. He was incredibly attentive and went the extra mile to contact another guest to get a photo they had taken of a bird we spotted during the tour. Highly recommend!

O’Ryan was an exceptional tour guide. He brings great energy and enthusiasm to discuss the beauty and significance of the destinations my sister and myself went to - which was the Gold Coast, Surfers Paradise, Springbrook National Park and Coombabah Lakelands Conservation Park. He was also very friendly and made sure all guests onboard the tour made the most of the tour. Overall, an engaging and memorable tour guide and my sister and I really enjoyed it all. :)
