Rainbow Beach Day Tour with Lunch and Carlo Sandblow

This full-day guided tour takes you from the Sunshine Coast to Rainbow Beach and some of the standout spots around it, without needing to organise a car or route yourself. It includes lunch overlooking the beach, a visit to Carlo Sandblow, views across to K'gari from Inskip Point, and time through Cooloola National Park and the Noosa Hinterland. It is pitched as an all-inclusive day out with accommodation pick-up and a guide providing commentary along the way. At this price, it sits more in the premium small-group or private-style touring category than the budget end.

You’ll be picked up directly from your accommodation in Noosa, Coolum or Twin Waters and travel by air-conditioned vehicle with reclining seats and USB ports. The route heads inland through the Noosa Hinterland and Cooloola National Park rather than taking a more direct drive, so the journey is part of the experience. During the day, you can expect stops for views of K'gari, Double Island Point and the Coloured Sands, plus a guided walk at Carlo Sandblow where you can get out onto the ancient sandscape. The tour also includes lunch overlooking the beach, a stop at Cooloola Berries, and a visit to a brewery and farm. Commentary is provided throughout the day by the guide.
