Experience the endless picturesque views from the Gold Coast to the unique heritage of Mt Tamborine. One of the first Tourism Destinations in QLD with ads in newspapers in the 1800s
Our Luxury minibus will take through the winding valleys of the Gold Coast to the famous Tambourine Mountain. As we move through the valley, your senses will be stimulated by picturesque mountain views, breathtaking landscapes and fresh mountain air as you anticipate exploring the trails that lie ahead.
Glow worms are dependent on rainforests and wet caves for their continuous survival since they need a home that is perpetually moist. However, due to climate change and human activities, Australia's rainforest habitats are dwindling. This specially designed glow worm cave at Tamborine Mountain offers the best conditions for glow worms in a controlled habitat, mitigating the effects of human activity.

Good mix for Tambourine

4.00This trip was an easy way to see some of the highlights of Tambourine Mountain. The structure of it was more like a standard group tour rather than a hop on hop off bus. I appreciated that we had quite a bit of flexibility — some activities you had to join the group, but you could also request to be dropped off somewhere different. Overall, it was a good set mix of things to do, and with a leisurely pace, though I found the glow worm experience underwhelming.
Fun down under
