TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN
MAP

Leave the Gold Coast behind and enjoy a full day exploring Tamborine Mountain
without needing to drive. This flexible hop on hop off experience includes
return coach transfers from the Gold Coast plus unlimited access to the local
loop on the mountain, so you can create your own itinerary.

Your day starts with the Gold Coast shuttle, departing from convenient central
pickup points and travelling up into the hinterland. On arrival at Tamborine
Mountain, you’ll transfer to the Hop On Hop Off Mountain Loop, which runs
throughout the day between participating wineries, breweries, distilleries,
cafés, Gallery Walk and key attractions.

You’re free to choose where you go and how long you stay. Hop off for tastings
at local wineries and breweries, relax over lunch at a café, browse boutiques
and gift shops along Gallery Walk, or visit short walks and lookouts for
sweeping views over the Scenic Rim and Gold Coast hinterland.

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 Gold Coast shuttle for a
comfortable return to your original pickup area, ending the day with fresh
mountain air, local flavours and a relaxed taste of the hinterland – on your
own schedule.

(Add-ons such as Glow Worm Caves and Rainforest Skywalk can be booked
separately or combined under other tour options.)
