Escape into the Sunshine Coast hinterland on a small-group day tour that packs three local favourites into one easy, well-paced day.
Your first stop is Eumundi, home to Australia's favourite artisan market. Wander hundreds of stalls of handmade crafts, fresh local produce and street food, with live music throughout and plenty of time to browse at your own pace.
From there, a country drive into the Mary Valley brings you to the historic township of Kenilworth for a relaxed lunch and a drink, plus time to seek out its famous donuts, local cheese and quirky shops.
The road climbs the Blackall Range to a sweeping lookout over Mapleton Falls, then drops to the Ginger Factory where you'll choose your own experience or ride, from a guided tasting tour to a bee show, ginger train or boat ride.
Enjoy door-to-door pick-up, friendly local commentary and a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle throughout.
