~ Eumundi Markets, Kenilworth and Ginger Factory Tour

Our Eumundi Markets, Kenilworth and Ginger Factory Tour brings together three of the Sunshine Coast's best-loved destinations, blending artisan culture, gourmet indulgence and hinterland scenery into one perfectly paced day.

We begin in Eumundi, home to Australia's favourite artisan marketplace. After an orientation loop around the markets, you'll have 1.5 hours to browse handmade arts and crafts, sample local produce, enjoy live entertainment, or slip across to the main street's bookshop and breweries.

A scenic country drive through the Mary Valley lands us in Kenilworth, where lunch and a drink of your choosing await, with time to explore the town's quirky shops, famous donuts and cheese factory.

Winding up the Blackall Range, we pause at a panoramic lookout over Mapleton Falls and a picturesque valley, before descending to the charming Ginger Factory. Choose your experience — the Taste of Ginger Tour, Live Bee Show, Moreton the Ginger Train or Overboard boat ride — then explore the grounds and nearby Nutworks at your leisure.

With door-to-door pick-up, a luxury vehicle with reclining seats, and commentary throughout from your experienced host, you'll be back at your accommodation in time for sunset.
