Visit venues that capture the grandeur of our colonial past and enjoy their local wines. All while been chauffeur around in luxury Mercedes Benz Bus. First, one was home to three former Queensland Premiers. Expect history, elegance and a relaxing wine tasting. With glorious setting, sweeping drive, the colonnaded veranda and undulating hills covered with vines will provide an immaculate setting for what is sure to be an amazing experience. Second, Historic homestead ‘Killowen’ is Canungra Valley Vineyards with extensive grounds that stretch along the banks of the Canungra Creek and the Alpaca Farm located on the property, so you can feed and walk an Alpaca through lush Vineyard grounds. Here we enjoy our lunch basket with local wines. Third, George Gibson founded the Central Coast Winery Pty Ltd in the 1970s with assistance from his son Peter. Together they experimented with varieties of winemaking from using traditional grape to assorted fruits and vegetables and honey.

Inclusions: Lunch, Wine Tasting, Bottled water, Luxury Air - Con Mercedes Benz Bus

Thanks for a great day out where our expectations were exceeded. Our tour guide, James, was kind generous and extremely knowledgeable about the Mt Tamborine and the wineries. We were a business group coming together to have a fun day out. Would highly recommend this tour of boutique wineries.

Wow what a great experience. I thought I might be scared of the height but all the staff are very professional yet still fun I didn’t feel concerned at all about the height. Richard our bus driver explained everything we needed to know on the way to our launching site & Stuart our pilot was so professional no one had any concerns at all about our flight. We even had the opportunity to help pack the balloon away if we wanted to help which was also a nice experience. We did the sunrise balloon tour which was followed by a champagne breakfast at a lovely nearby winery. Perfect finish for a great experience.

What a fantastic day! Our tour guide, Shane, was knowledgeable and showed us all around the island. Some of the day's highlights included seeing 3 koalas!!, ospreys feeding a chick at their nest, a feeding frenzy beneath the cliffs of the Gorge Walk at Point Lookout, and a visit to Brown Lake. Although it was hot outside, the bus' airconditioning gave us a break

This was a beautiful insight into the Hinterland. Trent was the driver / guide who was very informative, friendly, and expert on the road. We did 3 short walks to beautiful lookouts and Natural Bridge, which was really spectacular. Plenty of time to admire the natural beauty of the area & take photos. Southern Cross even provided a covid-safe afternoon tea; soft drink & choice of sweet or savoury snack.

Did the Australia Zoo tour on Thursday 29th April. Would be good if the Driver could speak at least a few words in English and had some manners!.. he was rude on the phone to other people and they could not understand anything he said. Just a bit disappointing....
