Travel Tips from Cooee Tours
Hello explorers and curious wanderers!
Queensland has its world-famous icons — but some of the best memories come from the places you never saw coming. At Cooee Tours, we love taking you to the hidden gems that make this region unforgettable.
Not every journey is about the big-ticket sights — sometimes the smaller, unexpected places steal your heart the most.
Our tours are designed to help you slow down, explore deeper, and find those unforgettable pockets of Queensland you’ll want to visit again and again.
1. Canungra – Gateway to the Scenic Rim
A charming town with vineyards, historic trails, and cozy cafés. Perfect for a countryside coffee crawl or wine tasting day.
2. Maleny Botanic Gardens and Bird World
Nestled above the Glass House Mountains, these gardens are a wonderland of waterfalls, aviaries, and panoramic views. A true hidden treasure.
3. Eumundi Markets
Everyone loves a market, but Eumundi’s vibrant energy, artisan crafts, and local eats make it one of Queensland’s most authentic shopping experiences.
4. Montville – The village in the clouds
This artsy, historic town offers boutique galleries, fudge shops, and sweeping hinterland views you won’t soon forget.
5. Sunshine Coast Coffee Trails
Beyond the beaches, the Sunshine Coast hides award-winning roasteries and secret cafés — all explored on our Coffee Tours.
6. The Big Pineapple and surrounding farms
This retro roadside icon is surrounded by working farms, rainforest trails, and even a small wildlife park — a perfect photo stop on our day tours.
7. Glass House Mountains Lookout
A lesser-known viewpoint that’s worth the stop. See ancient volcanic peaks stretch into the horizon from one of the Sunshine Coast’s best-kept secrets.
8. Lamington National Park's quiet trails
Most people know about the treetop walk, but we love guiding you along the park’s quieter trails — full of ancient trees, secret waterfalls, and stunning valley views.
9. Hidden beaches along the coast
Beyond Noosa and Mooloolaba lie tucked-away beaches like Coolum and Peregian — perfect for a peaceful swim, a slow walk, or a stunning sunset.
