Our Hinterland Waterfalls tour is designed to show off the best of the Sunshine Coast’s cool, green interior — think towering rainforest, fern-lined tracks and quiet pools fed by clear mountain streams. We prioritise sustainable access, low-impact swimming spots and local knowledge so you see wildlife and landscapes most visitors miss.
What to expect
Guided rainforest walks: 20–40 minute easy to moderate walks to each lookout and waterfall.
Swimming spots: Safe, monitored pools with time to cool off — bring your togs and a towel.
Local stories: Learn about Aboriginal connections, early timber and settler history, and local flora and fauna.
