Coast art Tour
$165pp
How It Works:
Board our luxurious and spacious Art Shuttle to begin your guided art tour. This exclusive tour visits three studios/galleries and will get you behind the scenes and directly involved with the artists to learn about their inspirations and artistic processes. Our relaxing and highly curated 7-hour tour includes a delicious one-hour lunch and snacks and beverages throughout—and we finish up with a stop at one of our famous craft beer tasting rooms.
You will be amazed by the variety of art being created on the Sunshine Coast. We offer you the option to Choose Your Own Art Adventure. Whether you like street art or ceramics, someone out here is doing it, and we are happy to customize your day to focus on a more thematic experience. Also, if you would prefer us to introduce you to some of our favourite studio experiences, we will be happy to do so. We have artists working in many different genres on the Coast:
● Painting
● Sculpture
● Street art
● Glass
● Ceramics
● Photography
● Digital imagery
● Woodwork
● Textiles
● Jewellery
● Metal work
Walk-on Ferry Passengers:
We recommend travelling to the Sunshine Coast as a foot passenger so that you can skip the vehicle lines and costly ferry reservations. This also keeps road traffic congestion and vehicle pollution to a minimum while visiting the Sunshine Coast. Then start your leisurely tour off with a mid-morning pickup from the Langdale Ferry Terminal near Gibsons, or we pick you up at your preferred Sunshine Coast location.
