“We had a fabulous day exploring the Hinterlands. Joel has great local knowledge with lots of interesting stories to tell. The tour was a great balance between walking on the edge of stunning Lake Cootharaba, views of Hinterland mountains, wandering around the quaint town of Pomona ( great local art) to sampling delicious mead ( first time I have ever tasted mead I am sold on it!!) and local craft beer ( the beer tasting was very enjoyable even for a non beer person!!). My son (19) and daughter (21) both loved the tour. Thanks Joel again, fantastic day. Hope to see you on another tour in the future.”
“Joel, our guide was very nice and informative. We heard a lot of great stories about the locations we visited. Lunch at one of the local restaurants was good as well we had plenty of time to see the sights and do some shopping.”
“We loved the tour Joel was friendly and knowledgeable. A great overview of the towns. Good to get out into the countryside. We were quite surprised with the winery and their delicious wines…We would highly recommend Joel’s Journeys.”
“We had a great day out with Joel’s Journeys. Joel was very knowledgeable about the area and went above and beyond to make us feel like a royalty on this trip!”
“Thank you Joel for an amazing day exploring Noosa and its surrounds! Joel was such a patient and engaging tour guide, leaving enough space for our big 18 people group to have fun, and at the same time gently guiding us towards our next adventure when needed so we don’t miss anything from our itinerary. Thank you for being so kind and taking care of us. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Noosa!!!”
