What backpackers say

★★★★★

We did this trip as a group of us! It was amazing, Pat who was our tour leader was incredible, super friendly & we learnt a lot! Visiting the cattle farm was incredible! Lots of friendly cows & we got to go in the creek with inflatables & play volleyball 🙂 Ended the day with a lovely pub trip & a pint! I would totally recommend this tour to anybody who is looking at doing this!

A day out with us

Hinterland Bush Tours runs small-group day trips from Surfers Paradise into the Gold Coast hinterland, made for backpackers, solo travellers and adventurers. You'll be in a van of up to 11 people on the same trip as you: travelling, keen to swim and up for a laugh.

Hike to waterfalls on the rim of an ancient volcano in Springbrook National Park, or float a crystal-clear creek on a cattle farm near Canungra and Tamborine Mountain and finish at a country pub. Do one, or do both.

Check out our Instagram to see what your day will look like.
