Description

Experience a side of the Gold Coast and Springbrook few travellers ever see on this nature-filled, small-group adventure. Begin your journey with a peaceful walk through Coombabah Lake Conservation Area—a unique mosaic of wetlands and eucalypt forest home to wild koalas and curious kangaroos. As you wander beneath tall paperbark trees, keep your eyes peeled for these Australian icons relaxing in the branches or grazing in the early light. After this special wildlife encounter, travel into the heart of Springbrook National Park, where ancient rainforests, striking waterfalls and dramatic views await. Your first stop is Purling Brook Falls Lookout, reached by an easy stroll—no need for strenuous hiking to enjoy the thundering drop and breathtaking outlook across the valley. From here, the adventure continues to Canyon Lookout, an ideal spot for panoramic photos and a taste of the region’s volcanic history. Enjoy a relaxed picnic-style lunch at a serene forest rest area, where you might spot wallabies foraging in the undergrowth or hear the calls of rainforest birds above. With energy restored, set off on the Twin Falls Circuit—a gentle rainforest walk rich with ferns, rock pools and waterfalls, including the enchanting Rainbow Falls and lesser-known Tamarramai Falls. A brief stop at Bilbrough Falls reveals yet another side of Springbrook’s lush landscape, before you finish the day at the iconic Natural Bridge. Here, a river carves its way through solid basalt, creating a natural cave and waterfall that glows with late afternoon light—a highlight for photographers and nature lovers alike. Throughout the tour, your guide ensures a friendly, welcoming atmosphere with plenty of time for photos, wildlife spotting and unhurried exploration. The pace is relaxed, the group is small, and every detail is designed to help you enjoy the best of Australia’s wild places—without the crowds or rush. Every guest helps restore 1 m² of native forest, so your visit leaves a positive mark on the land. We’ll capture digital photos for you, and live AI-powered translation means everyone can join in the fun, no matter where you’re from. Come and discover a tour where every moment counts: wild koalas at sunrise, ancient waterfalls, sweeping lookouts and a genuine small-group spirit, all in a single unforgettable day.
