Description

Full-Day Rainforest Tour from Brisbane: Tamborine, Springbrook & Glow Worm Caves Escape the city and immerse yourself in the natural wonders of Southeast Queensland on this full-day guided tour from Brisbane. Discover two of the region’s most iconic national parks—Tamborine and Springbrook—both part of the Gondwana Rainforests, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed area rich in biodiversity, natural beauty, and ancient landscapes. Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Brisbane into the lush hinterland. The first stop is Curtis Falls, a peaceful rainforest walk that leads to a beautiful waterfall nestled beneath a canopy of towering eucalypts and ancient ferns. Keep an ear out for birdsong and the sound of rushing water as you soak in the tranquil setting. Next, visit the Hang Glider Lookout at Tamborine Mountain for sweeping views across the valleys below. It’s a perfect photo opportunity and a chance to take in the expansive beauty of the Scenic Rim. Continue to Cedar Creek Estate, where you’ll take a guided tour of the Glow Worm Caves. Step into a purpose-built cave that mimics the natural environment of these bioluminescent creatures and witness their soft glow in a magical, educational experience suitable for all ages. After your glow worm tour, head to the nearby Gallery Walk. This charming strip is filled with quirky boutiques, local art, handmade fudge, and artisan products. Here, you’ll also have time to purchase lunch from one of the many inviting cafes or enjoy your own packed meal in a relaxed, leafy setting. In the afternoon, travel to Springbrook National Park and explore the famous Natural Bridge. This spectacular natural rock arch, formed by a waterfall plunging through a basalt cave, is one of Queensland’s most iconic geological wonders. Enjoy a gentle walk through ancient rainforest and admire the dramatic scenery. On the return journey to Brisbane, enjoy a final stop at Hinze Dam. Take in panoramic views of the water and surrounding forested hills, stretch your legs, snap a few photos, or grab a coffee at the café overlooking the dam. This scenic spot is also home to native wildlife, including fish like Australian Bass and Golden Perch, a variety of waterbirds, koalas in the treetops, and wallabies along the edges. A butterfly conservation project has reintroduced the rare Richmond birdwing, and a fishway system supports healthy biodiversity in the dam. After a full day of nature, wildlife, and cultural exploration, sit back and relax as your guide drives you back to Brisbane. You’ll return with unforgettable memories of some of Southeast Queensland’s most stunning landscapes.
