Not a hop on hop off
Lisa R,,Jan 24, 2026

3.00this is a great way to get to and from tambourine mountain but it is not a true hop on hop off experience. You need to choose 3 attractions. Also when I booked it was not clear that i could have booked a wine tour or paid for the glow worm tour.. I was very happy that we were able to get picked up from the JW marriott gold coast resort although it wasn’t on the hotel list
Smooth ride

5.00Lovely tour guide and good transport. Activities are not included and can be bought separately, for example the sky walk and glow worm cave.
Great tour

5.00Anthony seemed a bit flustered initially but it turned out to be a great tour. Nothing was too much trouble for him. I did Glow worms, Skywalk, Curtis Falls and Lookout all in plenty of time with no hanging about and great commentary from Anthony when appropriate . Would highly recommend and Plenty of Reasons to be Cheerful. Really enjoyed the day
Room for improvement

2.00The company could really improve with clearer communication. At the start, we were handed a laminated map but given no guidance about what to see, how the timetable worked, or how to make the most of the day. Because of the disorganisation, it was after 11am before we even managed to see or do anything. When we got off the bus, the first question was “What do you want to do?”—but we had no idea what the options were or how it all worked. We said the falls, so they took us there, only for us to be told its better to start with the treetop walk. It wasn’t just us who were confused. Another couple became so worried about not getting picked up that they started walking in the heat. The staff clearly mean well, and they do want everyone to have a good time, but for a paid tour this level of confusion just isn’t good enough. With better communication and structure, the experience could be much better. As it stands, hiring a car would have been the easier option.

4.00We had an amazing experience, there were a few things that were disorganized and can be improved on, but it was nothing that negatively impacted our experience.
Terrible

1.00The experience was terrible. Was advised of pickup at 9.10am but was 9.30. No commentary from driver at all. Arrived Mt Tamborine and was told ‘I’m only the driver, tell me what you want to do’ He talked as if you were familiar with the place but as a first visitor I had no idea what to do. He didn’t seem to know what he was doing either.
Recommendable
