What to expect
You'll begin at Coombabah Lake, where the wildlife moves at its own pace—bring patience and a decent camera. The lakeside walk is gentle and flat. Next comes the drive up to Mount Tamborine village, where you'll settle in for tea and fresh scones at an old-school hotel with character. Afterwards, wander through Gallery Walk at your own rhythm, dipping into independent craft shops and studios. The final leg positions you for those sweeping coastal views—clearest on cloudless days. Total time on feet is moderate; most of the tour involves transport and sitting down.
