What To Expect
Curtis Falls
We visit the Joalah National Park and take a walk through the rainforest to Curtis Falls. Apart from viewing the picturesque falls and the Cedar Creek, this is a great spot for spotting some iconic bird life such as the Rainbow Lorikeet, kookaburra, King Parrot, and colourful Rosella. You may even see the shy pademelons (small rainforest wallabies).
Tamborine Mountain Glow Worm Caves
Of course glow worms only glow at night. So how do we see them on a daytime tour? We take you to the award winning Cedar Creek Glow Worm caves that have been specially constructed to turn daylight into nighttime with the thousands of glow worms enjoying ideal conditions. The best way to see them!

5.00Very knowledgeable guide. We had a beautiful day in the rainforest, with easy hikes and the guide pointed out lots of animals. We saw Koalas in the wild, kangaroos and wallabies. Lizards and birds. He knew exactly where to look and to go. Highly recommended.
Excellent tour and guide who cares a lot and drives well!

5.00Excellent experience with guide James, who clearly loves what he does and is passionate about the natural beauty found near Brisbane. He greeted me welcomingly at the meeting point. His driving was very safe and he curated the group to be cohesive. The minibus was clean and with working seatbelts and comfortable seats. This was a lovely tour of natural surroundings that respects the environment and wildlife. We saw 3, three! koalas in the wild, several native birds, a scrub turkey, a 'patty" (baby wallaby), GLOW WORMS, mini bats, tree frogs, and kangaroos - NO zoos involved. And - even saw a manmade glow worm sanctuary with some frogs, insects, and snakes in terrariums. Started and ended on time. Plenty of clean restrooms throughout the tour! I also enjoyed the stop in Tambourine to have lunch. The stop at the Dam had an amazing cafe- which was unexpected and delightful for afternoon tea and a snack. Thanks James!

4.00Great way to see the subtropical rainforest. The waterfalls and Natural bridge were great to see and enjoy. However, it was the Glow worm cave tour that really made this tour extra special. Not something one can see many places and this man-made cave is an exceptional experience. Only real drawback to this tour was the amount of time necessary in the tour bus to get down and back from Brisbane.
