Explore the lush Sunshine Coast hinterland in a private, chauffeured vehicle — browsing Australia's most celebrated artisan market at Eumundi before a rainforest walk through the ancient Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve above Maleny.
What to expect
Departing the pier in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle, your guide narrates the transformation from coastal plain to volcanic hinterland as you climb toward Maleny. The famous Eumundi Markets (Wednesdays and Saturdays) showcase over 600 local artists, craftspeople, and food producers — a world away from tourist trinkets. The Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve delivers a 90-minute rainforest circuit with views across the Glass House Mountains and rich birdlife commentary from your guide. A long lunch at a local farm-to-table restaurant rounds out the day.
Good to know
The Eumundi Markets only operate on Wednesdays and Saturdays — confirm your cruise day aligns. Tour duration approximately 6–7 hours; confirm all-aboard time with your guide at booking so the itinerary is tailored accordingly. Private bookings can adjust the pace for any mobility considerations.
