Genuine local knowledge
We live where we tour. That means the quiet lookout instead of the crowded one, the bakery worth stopping for, and the timing that misses the queues — local insight you can't get from a brochure.
Half a century of touring, planned by one Brisbane-based specialist team — across the country we call home, Aotearoa New Zealand, and the world beyond. The roads, the seasons, and the stories behind every stop, known firsthand.
Cooee Tours began in 1974 with a simple idea: that the best way to see a place is alongside someone who genuinely loves it. Five decades on, that hasn't changed. We're still Brisbane-based, still hands-on, and still building every trip around the small details that turn a journey into a memory.
Over the years we've grown into six distinct touring threads — from golf escapes and wine country to coffee culture, shopping, nature and cruising — now reaching across Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand and the world. Different interests, same approach: thoughtful planning, comfortable travel, and one Brisbane specialist who treats you like a guest rather than a number.
We live where we tour. That means the quiet lookout instead of the crowded one, the bakery worth stopping for, and the timing that misses the queues — local insight you can't get from a brochure.
Private groups, custom routes, special occasions — we plan tours to suit your pace and interests, not a one-size-fits-all schedule. Tell us what you'd love to see and we'll make it work.
Cooee Golf, Coffee, Shopping, Wine, Cruising and Nature each bring focused expertise. Whatever style of trip you're after, there's a dedicated thread that knows it inside out.
Clean, modern vehicles and experienced, professional drivers — coordinated through our trusted network so every departure runs smoothly from pickup to drop-off.
Since 1974 we've earned the trust of travellers, schools, clubs and corporate groups across Australia and beyond. Longevity in this industry isn't an accident — it's a track record.
Real humans answer the phone. When you book with Cooee you're dealing directly with the team running the tour — quick to respond, easy to talk to, and invested in your day going well.
Each Cooee thread is a specialist in its own right — pick the experience you're after and dive straight in.
Cooee Tours acknowledges the Turrbal and Yuggera/Jagera peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we operate in Meanjin (Brisbane), and we pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We extend that same respect to the Traditional Owners and host communities of every region we travel, across Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand and the world.
Tell us where you'd like to go and how you like to travel — we'll handle the rest, the way we have since 1974.
