Sunshine Coast Hinterland Scenic Culinary Experience: Discover Montville and Maleny – Reviews
We had a fantastic day with Coast to Hinterland Tours. Jan was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and attentive. All of the activities – cheese board, wine tasting, chocolate samples and delicious lunch at Secrets on the Lake were great. The amount of free time to wander the towns and rainforest was perfect too! I would definitely recommend this day trip!

What a wonderful day – from pick up to drop off! Met by Dave who was friendly, chatty, extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He made sure we were all comfortable and happy and took us to many interesting places around the Hinterland. Timing was perfect for pick up and drop off, food was delicious, chocolates and wine and 2 course lunch included in the culinary package. Highly recommended; will tell our friends and family.

Wow what a day!!! We had a wonderful day today celebrating our 18 year wedding anniversary by doing the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Scenic Culinary Experience! Our tour guide Lucas was so awesome – he was fabulous from start to finish. We had such a lovely relaxing day celebrating with yummy cheese tastings, chocolate tastings, wine tastings, a divine 2 course lunch @ Secrets on the Lake too.
There was also plenty of time to explore the beautiful scenery/lookouts and time to wander the fabulous little boutique shops and just breathe in the fresh air!
Would highly recommend this day tour!
Thank you and it’s a day my hubby and I will always remember!
