YANDINA BOAT TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Two Park Rides, One Story: Moreton’s Ginger Train and the Gingerbread Man’s Water Chase in Yandina
The Play Bundle at The Ginger Factory pairs a scenic run on the historic Ginger Train with the Overboard boat ride—two family-friendly attractions on the Sunshine Coast included in one ticket.
Two Park Rides, One Story: Moreton’s Ginger Train and the Gingerbread Man’s Water Chase in Yandina.
The Play Bundle at The Ginger Factory in Yandina pairs two short, purpose-built attractions: a single run on Moreton, the much-loved historic Ginger Train, and the Overboard water ride that sends guests after the Gingerbread Man. The train carries riders in open-air carriages through the gardens and grounds with interpretive notes on Yandina and the local ginger industry; the Overboard experience puts each party in a lifeboat for a meandering water voyage following the Gingerbread Man—an uncomplicated, family-oriented outing.
