🌟 Important News from Sunshine Coast Art Tours! 🌟

Dear Sunshine Coast Art Tours Community,

I have some news to share with all of you today as I embark on a new journey towards brighter horizons.

Following thorough reflection and careful consideration, I've decided to wind down Sunshine Coast Art Tours and steer towards a new direction.

I am thrilled to announce a partnership with Coastal Rides, a local and reputable transportation company that shares Sunshine Coast Art Tours' commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.

We will be integrating my 15-passenger bus into Coastal Rides' outstanding fleet. This means more convenience, flexibility, and larger-ride options for you when it comes to exploring the beautiful Sunshine Coast.

This partnership also means I will continue to offer event and attraction-based transport services, including our popular Brewery Shuttle, Wedding Transport, and Art Studio visits, among others. This will make it easier than ever for you to access the incredible experiences that our region has to offer.

I want to express my deepest gratitude for your continued support throughout the Sunshine Coast Art Tours journey, and know I am excited to embark on this new adventure with Coastal Rides. Rest assured, my commitment to art, culture, and the vibrant Sunshine Coast community remains unwavering… here's to many more memorable moments together!

With warm regards,
Douglas Bevans

Had so much fun hosting a friend’s 50th Birthday and sharing an Artists Studio Tour.

We visited the incredible studios of Jack Gibson, Chris Ainslie and Motoko Fine Art Studio & Gallery , where we also enjoyed beverages and incredible Charcuterie lunch prepared by 'Good Fridays'.

We were delighted to see that many of our Coastal artists are tirelessly preparing for the much-anticipated Sunshine Coast autumn highlight - the Art Crawl, scheduled from October 20th to 22nd.

Whether you're thinking of hosting a unique tour tailored just for you, or wish to embark on a curated tour with your crew during the Art Crawl, we've got you covered. Hurry, though! We have limited availability left for October 20th and 21st.
