Duration: 9 hours

Whitsunday Gold Coffee Plantation

12505 Bruce Hwy, Proserpine, 4800, Queensland

Just outside Proserpine lies the Whitsunday Gold Coffee Plantation—one of the largest coffee producers in the region and a perfect blend of rustic charm and caffeine-fueled hospitality.
As part of your Bowen day adventure, we’ll stop in for a fresh-brewed coffee (or two), roasted on-site from 100% Australian-grown beans. Wander through the plantation grounds, relax under the shade of the mango trees, and soak up the laid-back country vibes.

There’s more than just coffee here—explore the gift shop stocked with local produce, browse the tropical garden surrounds, or say hello to a cheeky macaw or two in the aviary. Whether you're a caffeine connoisseur or just along for the ride, this stop is a relaxing, aromatic highlight on the way to the coast.
