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!

5.00Beautiful scenery and a great opportunity to check out some wildlife. Our group was lucky, we were able to see a ton of animals and even a platypus! I got so many steps in, but it was a good blend or walking and riding.

4.00Great trip, group and guide. we were lucky enough to spot two koalas in the wilds. I do wish we had more time to explore the walks, possibly on our own. We did all walk together, pretty nice hikes. It would’ve been nice to actually have time to walk on our own and take photos on our own spy things on our own without feeling we had to keep with the group .
Great trip! Our guide was...

5.00Great trip! Our guide was an absolute wizard at spotting wildlife and the entire trip tied together well. You get a really good breadth of the national parks and the glow worms are amazing!

3.00Admission to the national park is free. The glow worm experience fell a bit flat, man made cave which you walk into to see tiny specs of light from the worms, given information about them but definitely would not interest small children was about 20-30 minutes.
Beautiful tour of the rainforests near Brisbane

4.00It was a very nice mini van with good a/c. The pacing was good. We had 1 stop for an hour to shop/eat which wasn't explicitly declared in the agenda. But, you do get to eat on your own dime. The glow worms were semi disappointing. They have built an artificial cave and the guide is the only one with a light. Everyone gets to see the glow worms (about size of a eye lash). but if you are at the back you wont see the blind cave fish. The waterfall was a nice walk and beautiful scene. The dam was about normal, but they have a good cafe there. The most important thing for me is Brian made a point to let us see kola bears and kangaroo in the wild. He took extraordinary steps and it was wonderful.
Good tour with a bit of chatter

4.00Overall it was a nice tour. My only recommendation is for the tour guide to allow a little bit of down time (even 10 minutes) for people to just rest. Sometime less is more. Also, there was way too much focus on finding birds or other creatures. I'm personally not a birder and don't need each bird in the forest identified. Again, some of it is ok, but too much time spent on hunting down animals.
Fun Tambourine Day!

5.00Busy day of fun activities! Had a nice lunch at the Tambourine Garden and a tasting at the Tambourine Distillery! Bought some Wattle Liquor for a take away! Glow worms were interesting. Our guide was a great spotter of wildlife.
