Hand-picked tours across Queensland
Our team has been pulling together the best small-group tours, day trips and multi-day adventures around Queensland for years. Mick reads the traveller reviews before any tour earns a spot on this page — if a tour's a dud, it doesn't get listed.

Outer Reef Scuba Diving Day Tour from Agnes Water 1770
Eight-hour scuba expedition to the outer reefs of the Southern [Great Barrier Reef](/places/great-barrier-reef), departing from Agnes Water 1770. Dive pristine, lightly visited sites where manta rays, sea turtles, dolphins and whales appear regularly. Small groups mean you'll work with experienced guides who tailor each dive to your certification level and interests. Contribute to marine conservation by participating in the Eye on the Reef monitoring scheme, gathering data that helps protect these vibrant ecosystems.

Gold Coast and Wavebreak Island Cultural Small Group Cruise
A 2.5-hour cruise across the Gold Coast Broadwater aboard the Kokomo that centres First Nations perspectives on this waterway. You'll hear stories from an Aboriginal guide about cultural ties to the land and sea, begin with a formal Acknowledgement of Country, and join a Yarring Circle at Wavebreak Island where conversation flows freely. The boat moves through striking coastal scenery while you learn how this region has been understood and inhabited for thousands of years.

Koalas, Glow Worms & Kangaroos - Nature & Rainforest Walk
Spot kangaroos grazing at dusk, then venture into the rainforest after dark to hunt glow worms by torchlight and discover the nocturnal wildlife of Australia's Gold Coast hinterland. This five-hour experience deliberately keeps group sizes small to maximise animal encounters and minimise crowds. Walk roughly a mile to a waterfall base, where clear skies reveal the stars above the hinterland landscape.

The Reef Spectacular - 60 minute reef scenic flight
Sixty minutes surveying the [Great Barrier Reef](/places/great-barrier-reef) from the air, tracking two major reef systems in a single flight. You'll spot rays, turtles and sharks moving across the coral gardens below. The scale of the reef—its sprawl, colour and complexity—hits differently from above. Complimentary refreshments included.

Gold Coast Learn to Dive – Open Water Certification Course
Earn your Open Water Diver certification over three days on the Gold Coast, then put it straight to use with two guided dives at Cook Island Aquatic Reserve. You'll descend into one of the region's premier dive sites, encounter turtles and rays, and navigate colourful reef systems under professional supervision. All training, equipment, and those inaugural ocean dives are included—no hidden costs.

Private Transfer from Brisbane Airport to Noosa for 1 to 3 people
A private SUV or MPV whisks you from Brisbane Airport straight to your Noosa accommodation in roughly two hours, handling up to three passengers and their checked luggage without fuss. The vehicle arrives at your terminal, loads your bags, and deposits you at your hotel or private address. Child seats and boosters are fitted free on request. It's a straightforward point-to-point service that beats the airport shuttle grind, especially if you're travelling as a small group or with little ones.

Magnetic Island Sailing Cruise ex Townsville
Board a sailing yacht from Magnetic Island for six hours of coastal cruising, swimming and wildlife spotting. After a short ferry from Townsville, you'll anchor in a sheltered bay with granite outcrops and hoop pines as your backdrop. Swim or beachcomb, then settle in for locally sourced prawns and antipasto paired with regional wines and beers. Watch for sea eagles, kites, reef fish and turtles in their natural habitat. The crew invites you to take the helm or learn sailing basics if keen. Return ferry included.

Cairns Paronella Park Herberton and Wild life Tour
This 10-hour loop from Cairns connects three distinct Queensland landmarks in one day. You'll explore Paronella Park, a 1930s castle surrounded by gardens and cascades, then step into Herberton's open-air museum with its 60-plus restored buildings from the pioneering era. Finish at Granite Gorge where you hand-feed the endemic Mareeba Rock Wallabies. Your local guide leads a small group of up to six, travelling in air-conditioned comfort.

Bladensburg National Park Half Day Tour From Winton
Explore Bladensburg National Park on a four-hour guided tour from Winton, visiting one of the region's earliest settlements now preserved as parkland. You'll travel through the park's rugged terrain and pastoral history in an air-conditioned vehicle, stopping to discover how early settlers shaped this landscape and what the natural environment tells about the area's past.

Sunset Sail Cruise Airlie Beach
Experience genuine sailing with a small crew of eight aboard a proper sailing vessel departing Airlie Beach. Unlike crowded sunset tours that motor out with minimal canvas, this two-and-a-half-hour journey actually harnesses wind and sail. You'll help trim sails, feel the boat respond to your input, and watch the sky transform over the Whitsundays. Champagne and canapés included; bring your own other drinks if you prefer.
