~ Eumundi Markets, Kenilworth and Ginger Factory Private Tour

Have three of the Sunshine Coast's best-loved destinations all to yourselves. Our Eumundi Markets, Kenilworth and Ginger Factory Private Tour gives your group the whole day, the same artisan culture, gourmet indulgence and hinterland scenery, with no strangers along for the ride.

It's your day, so there's room to shape it. Linger longer at the markets, choose a different Ginger Factory experience, tell us what you'd like when you book and we'll do our best to make it happen.

We begin at Eumundi, home to Australia's favourite artisan marketplace, with time to browse handmade arts and crafts, sample local produce and take in the live entertainment. A scenic country drive then brings us to Kenilworth for lunch and a drink, and time to explore its famous donuts, cheese factory and quirky shops.

Winding up the Blackall Range, we pause at a panoramic lookout over Mapleton Falls, before descending to the charming Ginger Factory for your chosen experience or ride and time to explore the grounds and nearby Nutworks.

With door-to-door pick-up across the Noosa and Sunshine Coast region, you'll be home in time for sunset.
