TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN
MAP

Leave the city behind and spend a full day exploring Tamborine Mountain at
your own pace. This flexible hop on hop off experience gives you return coach
transfers from Brisbane plus unlimited access to the local shuttle on the
mountain, so you can create your own itinerary without the stress of driving
or parking.

After a relaxed drive to the Scenic Rim, you’ll arrive at Tamborine Mountain –
a cool, green plateau known for its wineries, breweries, distilleries,
rainforest walks and the boutiques and cafés of Gallery Walk. From here, your
driver will connect you with the hop on hop off service, which loops between
key stops throughout the day.

You’re free to choose where you go and how long you stay. Hop off at wineries
and breweries for tastings, linger over lunch at a café, browse local art and
gift shops, or head to short walks and lookouts for views over the hinterland.
Popular attractions such as the Glow Worm Caves and Rainforest Skywalk can
also be visited during your free time (entry at own expense, pre-booking
recommended).

When you’re ready to move on, simply meet the next bus and let the driver know
your next stop. In the afternoon, you’ll rejoin the Brisbane shuttle for a
comfortable return trip to the city, finishing your day with mountain air,
scenic views and a relaxed taste of the hinterland – all on your own schedule.
