About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 487sylvian0 contributionsGreat day at the wineriesTerrific day wine tasting. Delicious lunch. Thank you to Scotty and Terry for their information and guidance. Small issue- we were somewhat confused about what we were paying and what was included, but well and truly worth it regardless.Written 28 January 2025
- Leilah_Hillman0 contributionsExcellent!Incredible experience. We got to choose all the places we wanted to see and hike! The van left on time and was organized. Really pleased with this tour!Written 23 January 2025
- Greg P0 contributionsDefinitely worth the money.Michelle is a very good tour guide. She explained the trip from the beginning and interacted with everyone on the tour. I would take another one with her as a guideWritten 23 January 2025
- patersonamy970 contributionsPerfect!Despite the torrential rain, our guide Michaela was the perfect tour guide around Mount Tamborine. She made everything super easy and had great knowledge of the local area.Written 14 January 2025
- Simon E0 contributionsGreat day outHad a great day out today. Our driver Scottie was a great guy, very efficient and did everything to ensure that we enjoyed our trip. The vineyards weee great and plenty to drink throughout they say. Great gourmet lunch at masons. Met some great folk on the trip too. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this trip to others.Written 9 January 2025
- sc0a08d76512d42720250 contributionsScotty was so friendly and accomodating!Best part of the tour is the tour guides/drivers really put a lot of effort in trying to give you a good experience! Otherwise if you have a car this is something you could do on your own.Written 6 January 2025
- K8943UAmelaniew0 contributionsGreat time with Scottie!Scottie was a great driver and tour guide up the lovely Tambourine Mountain. Great views and great wine! Especially loved the St Bernard hotel.Written 6 January 2025
- I7305FOvictoriar0 contributionsBest way to see different parts of the mountainAmazing people, Scottie and Mint were so friendly and great at giving recommendations. The hop on hop off was new but already a smooth and great way to see the mountain.Written 27 December 2024
- Eli A0 contributionsMessy, confusing and lack of communication!During this holiday, I’ve taken several tours similar to this one and definitely this once not the best. Our driver, Anthony, was sweet and trying his best but he told us that he has been in the company only for 6 week and he was trying to find his way, which it showed. Tour itself was confusing, there were many tours inside the tour, some doing some activities, others doing others, even people of two different buses got mixed up for some activities. Which is ok, but there was zero communication from the drivers, zero explanation of what was going on, or itineraries. At the first winery, there were merely waiters serving the wine, saying basic things about them and leaving. They were definitely not experts, they were just serving us. A couple bought some crackers from the restaurant and they brought them in the same package they got them from the supermarket :( not even place on a plate. Lunch was also confusing, driver kept saying that it was a pub with “pub food” but at the end it was a proper restaurant and he then said that actually it was his first time taking a group there. Bottom line, company try to take advantage of one tour to sell many other different ones that it becomes a bit messy. My positive input it’s the wonderful group of people I met. Other than that, I’ll recommend to look for another company.Written 24 December 2024
- Michael D0 contributionsNice driver but to call this a tour is somewhat misleading.It was mediocre at best. It’s basically a hired ride up to the mountain with suggestions on what to do. I mean you could rent a car and drive yourself and probably save yourself $35 since rental cars are pretty cheap.Written 12 December 2024
- Natalie89240 contributionsGreat tour and a fun dayMy son and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and we did the glow work caves too it was awesome. Would definitely go again!Written 7 December 2024
- briteg650 contributionsGuides were fun!There is confusion regarding departure pick up; we did not receive the confirmation text. But after that we had a wonderful time!Written 30 November 2024
- clarkefiona030 contributionsHop on hop off Tambourine MountainsMichelle and Anthony were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Thoroughly enjoyed being able to choose different activities, and the area is a lovely respite from the busy Gold Coast. Well organised and excellent communication.

Michelle was amazing - I’d give her 10 stars if I could. She’s so friendly and knows the area so well. The mountain is really beautiful. We did a wine tasting at Witches Falls which was really nice. I gave four stars for the review because the “hop on, hop off” isn’t as convenient as it sounds. There are 11 seats on the bus and bookings seem to take precedence over the hop on and off option.

Booked Pineapple on last minute basis and they were able to accommodate us . Pick up from hotel was prompt . Sinya was our driver. Ours was a small group and she tailored the tour to our needs and smiled through our last minute changes on what to see in Mt Tamborine. The tour bus was very clean and comfortable. I would use pineapple again and recommend to friends and family.

We had a fun time with Graham on the hop on hop off bus to Tamborine Mountain! The drive was safe and easy and Graham made sure we got to hit everything we wanted to do. It is worth noting that the route/order of stops is formed by multiple tour guides who help get everyone where they want to go once you're up on the mountain, so it's helpful to be flexible and to have an idea what you want to do once you're up there (we thought that the cars would run in a fixed circuit like other hop on hop off tours in big cities where we would plan our trip around the route, but the guides will plan the route around the guests!). Also you might be with other guests depending on who else is interested in your stop (though we got driven around just the two of us, thanks Graham!). The one stop the guides picked was the distillery at the end, where they seemed to have a hook up. Overall, a fun trip and so glad we got to see the mountain with a friendly and knowledgeable host!

You will spend a lot of unnecessary time waiting for other guests on these tours. We spent more time dropping other people off at other destinations than we did taking into the beautiful area. And then we had to spend more time waiting for other guests who were late for pick up at the end of the day. We also had a new tour guide who clearly didn't know where he was going as he kept getting lost. Vans were spacious and comfy. The scenery was beautiful.

Thanks for letting us know about this, the Hop on Hop off Bus is quite new and it has been so popular that we have had to train some new drivers. We have had the same staff for nearly 10 years and every now and then we do need to get someone new on the team, I'm glad you liked our buses and the attractions though and we will use your feedback to provide additional training to the new drivers

Despite initial confusion this turned out to be an awesome day out. Sinya was very happy to work out a schedule that suited all parties. Spent an incredible time up on the mountain, took some amazing photos and had lovely food and drinks. The Cauldron Gin Distillery was a winner as well.

Michelle (Pineapple Tours) did our tour and she was brilliant, such a lovely lady. She did everything she could to make Bri’s day special. We had such a wonderful day, did lots of wine tasting, had a fantastic lunch at the Hamptons Winery.

Having enjoyed a tour so much last year with Pineapple Tours we were up for another full day tour this year on our annual girls weekend away! Pete once again created a personalised tour for our group of 7. His extensive knowledge of the area and wine is exceptional. He has a very friendly demeanor and reads the group very well. We visited Mt Nathan wines with their specialty being honey fortified wines....delicious. We enjoyed an outstanding lunch at Albert River wines with a fabulous view overlooking the vines. Also visited Witches Falls our favourite a must visit with exceptional wines.
Pineapple Tours provide excellent buses which are super comfy and our bus even had USB charging points at each seat.
Now to enjoy drinking all the wine we bought!! Thanks again Pete for looking us. See you again next year!

We organised a tour for my wife's 40th. Our driver and guide was Kazuki. The most polite and friendly host we could hope for. Pickup and drop off directly at our door. We had a lovely day out and great fun. The weather was a bit temperamental, but even when it was rainy Kazuki would bring the minibus around for us for easy hop on. Great reception at all the wineries and a yummy lunch included.
Very organised and professional. We also loved the fresh water and cheese and crackers in the bus!
We really had a blast and couldn't thank the guys at Pineapple tours, especially Kazuki, enough. Would highly recommend them and will very likely use them again in future.

Hi, We are considering booking the tour for Saturday October 27th. It would be two of us. Myself and a friend on holiday from Scotland. Does the $720 quote include the tour for just the two of us? We do not want to travel in a group. Would Peter be available?
Thank you
Pam
