The experience

Tania, your local guide, meets you at your Brisbane, Logan or Gold Coast hotel at whatever time suits your schedule. You'll travel in an air-conditioned 13-seat minibus, and the day unfolds around your priorities, not a fixed itinerary that wastes hours on things you don't care about. Want to spend the morning at Scarborough Beach with its golden sands and cottonwood trees, then skip the landmarks and head straight to a hiking trail instead? Done. Prefer to explore Brisbane's inner city art galleries and vintage shops, then catch the evening crowd at South Bank Market? That works too. The guide knows the spots most visitors miss and can suggest her favorites, or you can direct the route entirely.

The Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast both open up depending on what appeals to you. On the Gold Coast, that might mean the Skypoint tower or the beaches themselves. The Sunshine Coast offers a different pace: Sunshine Beach for swimming, Springbrook National Park for bushwalks, or stops at attractions like the Sealife Aquarium and Ozzie World if those interest you. Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary puts you face-to-face with tree kangaroos, koalas, wallabies and wombats in natural settings, a draw for families traveling with kids. Because the day is yours to shape, a full-day tour (around 8 hours) can cover more ground or move slowly through fewer stops, whichever suits the group.

Catering can be arranged to your specifications, or you can bring your own. The rate is set upfront based on group size and whether you book a full day or half day, so there are no surprises at the end.
