Enjoy a cold beer off the wood at the Breakfast Creek Hotel, explore St John's Cathedral and the amazing Southbank as well as marvelling at the fantastic views of the city day and night from Mount Coot-tha and Kangaroo Point Cliffs.

Gold Coast Tours: Explore Surfers Paradise and Cavil Avenue. See beautiful beaches and enjoy a one hour Broadwater and Canal Cruise. Discover the 'Green behind the Gold' in the Gold Coast Hinterland. Enjoy breathtaking views from Mount Tamborine, walk inside a rainforest and visit an award winning winery.

Sunshine Coast Tours: Drive through the scenic Glasshouse Mountains on the way to Australia Zoo - home of Steve Irwin and the Crocodile Hunters. Visit the Big pineapple and stop at Mooloolaba and Underwater World.

Tailor made Tours: A Tour and Detour can also custom design tours to suit your budget and specific needs. Ideal for families and groups who wish to combine several sights and attractions with the freedom to choose departure time and duration.
