Glowingly good adventure!

5.00Came on a day tour with Gold Coast Rainforest Tours last time I was on the GC and this time went for one of their night tours and it didn't disappoint! Saw 3 koalas, heard one performing its mating call which was fun! Last time I saw 6 or 7 waterfalls on the day tour, this time saw 2 (one at night) which were both different to what I saw last time. Saw a heap of glow worms at one of the waterfalls and some close to the path, some frogs, spiders and geckos. Exceeded my expectations again! They also honoured a 20% discount for being a return customer from 7 years ago which was nice!
Amazing & diverse nature & wildlife experience

5.00I was trying to find a glow worms tour, but couldn't find any availability last minute. I found this which was much the same price but also visited koalas & kangaroos. I wasn't expecting to actually see any but we actually saw 4! I'm Australian and have seen heaps of roos, but it was nice to see so many and really close to the trail, it was only my 2nd time seeing a wild koala so it was a nice treat! After that we drove into the rainforest and saw a waterfall before dusk and then went for a walk to see the glow worms. The guide found a couple of geckos which I definitely wouldn't have seen otherwise and pointed out a few cool things in the rainforest. The glow worms were quite magical next to a waterfall, in a really small group (was only 5 of us) Definitely worth the few extra bucks instead of just the glow worms tour, excellent value for money comparatively, would recommend it for anyone!
An Amazing Nature Experience!

5.00This experience was amazing and quickly become a highlight of my trip to the Gold Coast! The small group size made everything feel personal and relaxed. Pete was friendly, super knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about the rainforest and wildlife. He was so respectful of the environment and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had an amazing time. The whole tour was perfectly paced, incredibly well organised and felt authentic rather than rushed or overly touristy, something I often find with the bigger group tours. We were lucky enough to see kangaroos, koalas, birds, frogs and even snakes! It’s such a privilege to see them in their natural habitat. Pete did a fantastic job of spotting koalas for us! The glow worms rainforest walk was a definite highlight. Walking through the darkened rainforest seeing the glow worms in their natural environment was genuinely breathtaking and something i’ll never forget. I’d highly recommend this tour!
Awesome Tour!

5.00Talitha was an amazing guide. You can tell she has a great passion and knowledge and truly cares about nature and the environment. My dad and I have been on at least 8 tours so far and Talitha has been the best guide by far. Amazing experience - kangaroos, koalas and glow worms.
I highly recommend this tour!

5.00Talitha was a great knowledgeable guide and a very enjoyable person to talk to. We saw koalas, kangaroos and glowworms (all firsts for two Americans) and we could not have had a better time. Thank you so much!
