Mystic Mountain Tours is excited to present three amazing tours of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland as part of the Rangebow Festival.
The Montville-based company plans three cheekily-named tours including the Grapes of Mirth & Grains of Truth Tour, the Up the Arts Tour and the Sniff, Lick, Nibble Tour.
They will happen on 10, 11 and 12 August departing from the Montville Tourist Information bus zone.
“The tours have been a perfect opportunity for the businesses in the Hinterland to work together and learn more about each other, how together we are an impressive and unique experience,” said Mystic Mountain Tours owner Lynn Fallon.
“The spectacular natural environment of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland is the perfect backdrop with fabulous views, natural rainforests and stunning venues. There is time to explore the interesting mountain townships and main streets of Montville and Maleny and talk to the locals who share their passion for what they do.
“What we love about the festival is that it connects so many people, it is really about the diversity of being a human and being accepted in a joyful environment where you are safe to be yourself and celebrate life!
“To be able to enjoy so many varied cultural aspects of life is outstanding, have fun and laugh, be surprised by something you have never seen, done or tried. Surrounded by music, creativity, amazing costumes and people with stories to tell.
“Listen to an opera, watch an artist at work, learn to make your own chocolate, taste bushfoods, meet the distillers savour the moments and the flavours.”
