Noosa headlands, hinterland villages, rainforest waterfalls, Glass House Mountains, Eumundi Markets, Mooloolaba beaches and golf. Eight guided tours with departures from Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.
The Sunshine Coast stretches from Caloundra in the south to Noosa in the north — sixty kilometres of golden beaches, surfing coves and sheltered bays, backed by the rainforest-clad Blackall Range, the volcanic Glass House Mountains, and artisan villages like Montville and Maleny. Our guided tours are built for people who want to see the best of this region without the stress of planning, driving and parking.
Whether you want a half-day coastal walk, a full-day food-and-markets experience, a family beach tour, a multi-day escape or a round of golf on one of the country's finest resort courses, we have a tour to match. Small groups (max 12), local guides, door-to-door pickup, and a pace that lets you enjoy every stop.
If you're staying in Brisbane, the Noosa Day Trip from Brisbane and Paradise Tour both depart the CBD. Staying on the Coast itself? Every other tour picks up across Caloundra to Noosa. Heading deeper into Queensland or comparing regions? See our all Queensland tours hub.
From a focused half-day coastal walk to a six-day multi-region escape — our Sunshine Coast tour range covers every traveller, departure city, fitness level and interest.

Fifty years of regional Queensland tour operation. Six things we do better than the alternatives.
Maximum 12 guests on every standard tour. The pace is personal — no crowds at the lookouts, no waiting for stragglers, no PA-system commentary.
Our guides live on the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane. They know the best coffee in Montville, when the koalas are most likely in the trees, and the secret spots most operators miss.
Hotel pickup and drop-off included on every tour. No parking, no logistics, no GPS issues — just be ready at the lobby at the agreed time.
Itineraries adapt to weather, tides and your group's interests on the day. A rainy hinterland morning becomes a museum-and-café morning instead.
Family-friendly, senior-friendly. We have tours designed for young families (Mooloolaba) and tours paced for older travellers who want less walking.
Every tour can be booked as a private experience for celebrations, corporate entertaining or special-interest groups. Itineraries fully customisable.
The destinations our tours visit — from the headlands of Noosa to the volcanic peaks of the Glass House Mountains.
A rare combination of accessible coastline and wild hinterland — both within an hour's drive of each other, both worth a full day on their own.
The coast itself — 60 km of beaches from the family-friendly shores of Caloundra through to the boutique elegance of Noosa — offers safe swimming, surf breaks, rock pools and esplanades lined with cafés. Inland, the landscape changes dramatically. The volcanic Glass House Mountains rise from the coastal plain. The Blackall Range is draped in subtropical rainforest. The villages of Maleny and Montville are a world of artisan cheese, handmade chocolate, galleries and lookouts that stretch to the ocean.

An amazing day — Noosa was beautiful and our guide had brilliant local knowledge. The day was paced perfectly, and we never felt rushed.
Eumundi Markets and Montville were a perfect combo. Loved the little cafés and the scenic stops. The guide's lunch recommendations were spot on.
Cooee Tours made our anniversary easy and relaxed — private pickup, lovely lunch and a quiet lookout for sunset. We'll be booking the 6-day tour next time.
