A new premium tourism experience called the Dreaming Trails Tour is set to launch in Australia next year.

This full-day experience will be led by First Nations knowledge holders and supported by well-established local Indigenous and agritourism operators on the Sunshine Coast.

Hosted by Mystic Mountain Tours, the journey begins with pick-ups across the Sunshine Coast and Noosa, followed by a welcome video from Traditional Owner Kerry Neill, who will introduce guests to the cultural stories and themes that shape the day.

The first destination is QCamel Dairy, a family-run camel dairy in the hinterland. Here, guests learn about the unexpected history of camels in Australia – including their ties with First Nations communities – before enjoying tastings and exploring QCamel’s range of ethical, organic products.

The tour then continues to TribalLink Activity Centre in Mapleton for an authentic cultural immersion.

Guided by First Nations facilitators, visitors take part in ochre painting, learn about traditional tools and storytelling, enjoy a short rainforest walk through the bushtucker farm and share a bush-inspired lunch with refreshing lemon myrtle drinks.

The final stop is My Dilly Bag, where renowned Aboriginal chef Aunty Dale (below) and her team showcase native flavours and seasonal bush ingredients.

Tours will be offered every Monday from January 12, 2026. The cost is $240 per person, which includes transfers, food and drinks. The tour is subject to availability and minimum numbers.

Visit Sunshine Coast is supporting the development of the Dreaming Trails Tour through seed funding provided under the Strategic Indigenous Tourism Program, an initiative of the Queensland Government.

This support complements Visit Sunshine Coast’s ongoing work to deliver the region’s First Nations Tourism Action Plan, which aims to strengthen cultural tourism and create long term opportunities for First Nations operators.
