Thanks Joel for a fantastic day! Your communication before the tour was spot on and the trip was spectacular. Highlights included the waterfalls, Monteville and the breathtaking old growth forest. As three Western Australian couples we got to see landscapes that we just don't have back west. Highly recommended day trip.

We made a last minute booking with Joel's Journeys for Hinterland tour and chocolate and wine tasting. This was an amazing tour, beautiful countryside, amazing views of waterfall, mountains and walk through the forest. Joel made our trip a memorable one, with his pleasant personality, knowledge of nature and patience. Would love to book other tours with him if I am back in Noosa in future

Joel was a very knowledgeable guide and did everything possible to give his clients a great experience. The tour covered a round trip of about 160 km into the hinterland behind Noosa and other coastal holiday towns. Some of the highlights were an hour exploring the delightful Montville, a 45 minute walk in a fabulous peaceful & beautiful remnant old growth forest, beautiful views from the best lookout spots, a lovely lunch, a top rate chocolate tasting stop and a wine tasting. Everything was top class, nothing was too much effort for Joel and I thoroughly recommend this tour.
