A lovely afternoon up in the rainforest looking at waterfalls, followed by an evening looking at the glow worms. Peter is very knowledgeable and took time and effort to point out various plants and animals... ensuring we knew which ones are dangerous. In all we walked between 8 and 10km, often up and down steps and steep inclines. It was quite a tiring day but worth the effort! Description says small level of fitness required, I would change this to a moderate level.

The Rainforest tour is definitely one of our highlights of our honeymoon the wildlife, waterfalls, views and the wealth of knowledge our guide Peter and Talitha bestowed onto us made this a magical experience. I would recommend this to anyone it is definitely worth it in everyway, a self guided tour will not be the same.
wonderful experience

I had a wonderful experience visiting Springbrook National Park. The scenery was breathtaking, and everything was well-organized. Our guide, Talitha, was warm, cheerful, and made the whole trip feel like a refreshing breeze. She shared great insights and created a relaxed, friendly atmosphere throughout the tour. Highly recommended!

I joined the Glow Worms, Rainforest & Waterfalls Tour with Gold Coast Rainforest Tours and it was fantastic from start to finish. Pete runs things perfectly and special thanks to our guide Talitha, who made the whole day relaxed, fun and really interesting. We visited beautiful spots like Natural Bridge, Best of All Lookout, Twin Falls, Purling Brook Falls, and finished with the magical glow worms at Curtis Falls. Such an amazing way to explore the real Gold Coast beyond the beaches — can’t recommend it enough!
Fantastic experience, highly recommend

Peter was so knowledgeable and could answer every question I could've had. The waterfalls and the rainforest were so beautiful! And he was so chill and there was no stress at all and one could take his/her time to absorb the nature around you. Swimming under a waterfall is definitely a highlight of my time in Aussie
