Highlights
  • Glass House Mountains Lookout - This tour has 4 hours of driving time. The Sunshine Coast Hinterland—our destination— is 1.5 hours drive north of Brisbane. Sometimes we can strike traffic on the return journey to Brisbane.

Making a wonderful start to any journey is the view from the lookout of the Glass House Mountains. Study the signs at the lookout area to identify the various peaks of the well-known Glass House Mountains. Take an optional 800m stroll along the Glass House Mountains lookout track, which starts at one side of the day-use area and returns on the other side. This easy track takes you about 30 mins and is worth the time as it takes you along the side of the hill through open scribbly gum forest with grass trees, and down through a wet eucalypt forest gully with emergent rainforest species. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Glass House Mountains and surrounds from lookouts, then continue on the sometimes steep track through ironbark and tallowwood eucalypt forests back to the day-use area.

Lookout, this trip is great! - This trip was very pleasant and fun. The stops were well-planned and we were given plenty of time to do what we wanted. Our guide was attentive, informative and thoughtful. We loved the environmental center, especially the amazing scones! The lookouts gave us spectacular views and the shopping areas were excellent. I would recommend this trip and this guide to anyone traveling with adults.

Enjoyable Tour - The tour was really small sized (3 of us) and Trevor brought along his family whom were super nice and friendly. Since it was a really small tour, he even went to lengths to drove us to a nearby small museum in one of the town upon learning that we were interested in art (though it was closed). We had ample of time to explore and walk around on our, and he even gave us recommendations on the food in the towns. The towns had amazing views and it was really a great trip to take for a breather. Trevor was really accommodating and picked us up /dropped us at our convenience and we really appreciated this.
