South East Queensland Tours & Trips
Picture Queensland's southeast corner beyond just Brisbane and Gold Coast. You've got Brisbane's river and cultural scene, Gold Coast's beaches and theme parks, and Sunshine Coast for more beach vibes. Hinterland includes Lamington and Springbrook National Parks with rainforests and waterfalls, and Mount Tamborine for wineries. It’s a true experience and one you’ll want to return to.

I have just finished my 5 week east cost tour and it was just like a movie. I was able to see so many beautiful places and got to know so many lovely people who I already miss. First and foremost Jenn. She was not only a wonderful tour guide but has also become a really good friend. Thanks for everything Jenn you were amazing!!

Overall Via Travel was excellent. With the cyclone moving into Brisbane they quickly rearranged the meeting point for the start of the tour and made sure that everyone got there safely. The tour was well organized and Jason made sure that we were very informed on things that we would see in the areas that we visited. He was very knowledgeable on the culture, the environment and the indigenous people. The last couple of days in the the Daintree Rain Forest with Chris were also exceptional. Chris was also very knowledgeable on all the sights, animals, birds and vegetation. Great experience.
