Description

This all-inclusive tour begins with a 1.5-hour drive from Brisbane to Springbrook National Park, part of a UNESCO World Heritage rainforest. You will enjoy a sealed walking circuit of about 30 minutes, rated easy to moderate, featuring stairs and gentle inclines as you discover the natural bridge formed by underground volcanic activity.

Next, travel through the Scenic Rim for one hour to Mt Tamborine. Here, you will find views stretching from Mt Tamborine to the Great Dividing Range and Lamington National Park, often spotting paragliders in the area. Mt Tamborine sits 525 metres above sea level, offering a unique vantage point.

Lunch is provided at Subway with a choice of wrap, sub, or salad, accompanied by a cookie and a 390ml drink. Time permitting, you can visit Gallery Walk to sample fudge and honey products.

After lunch, join a guided tour of the man-made Glow Worm Cave at Cedar Creek Estate. Learn about the glow worm lifecycle and their bioluminescence from expert guides. Since opening in 2005, the glow worm population has grown to over 3,000.

The day concludes with the Tamborine Rainforest Skywalk, a 1.5 km self-guided walk through 30 acres of rainforest and rock pools. The walk includes forest floor trails, 300 metres of steel bridges, and a 40-meter cantilever bridge elevated 30 metres above the creek and rainforest.
