So cool. We aren't Rum drinkers but the tour was still totally worth it. Very educational and eye opening. The jokes were funny if you appreciate the usual "Dad jokes". The alcohol at the end of the tour is cheaper too

    Fun and informative tour of the Bundaberg rum factory

    Kathleen_J, Mar 2026
    Really fun tour of the Bundaberg rum factory. Nice little café at the end of the tour. Scrumptious samples of rum drinks provided at the end of the tour. I wish they had an adults only tour or smaller group tours I thought the group was just a little large and there were some whiny children and children running around on our tour. They provide provided umbrellas for the shade, which was really nice.

    Great tour

    Waste of money

    Washington_M, Jan 2026
    they dont show anything at all only a tank of molasses and and a few fermenters that you can only see the fermenter not whats inside or how it work all you see is a buch of metal and hear stupid Jokes from the guide you can not show images as photos are not allowed

    Rum distillery

    Elizabeth_F, Dec 2025
    Very informative great staff and knowledgeable explained everything loud and clear It’s just a shame you don’t get to actually see any of the product in the making as all you do is walk through the distillery and see outside of all the tanks the only part you really see is when you walk through the molasses

    Salted Caramel Liqueur

    Dave_W, Nov 2025

    William_S, Oct 2025
    Very enthusiastic guide, and all staff were very welcoming. Tour is about an hour long, with some stairs to climb as you walk around. No items with batteries are allowed on the tour, but they provide lockers.

    Tour guides hard to hear...

    Colin_M, Aug 2025
    Tour guides hard to hear at times, they also tried to hard to deliver very corny jokes. Less jokes and more time delivering the facts.

    Enjoyable tour

    Graeme_H, Aug 2025
    The three young people who guided us around were the best they knew everything plus a few jokes thrown in to make the afternoon

    Paul_J, Aug 2025
    (Bad joke delivery ha ha) The history of Bundaberg Rum is very Australian. The growth of the company is a real story. We felt that as we moved around the distillery. Well informed and friendly guides. Shaz and Jayden make a good team.
