Maiala regnskovstur

Malala is incredible. The trails are well maintained and not strenuous. Anita’s knowledge and enthusiasm made the walk very informative as she described the various animals, insects, birds and trees.

Really nice experience with a great and experienced guide. Rainforest is beautiful and worth exploring for a day. Saw lots of animals and interesting plants. Thanks Anita!

We had an absolutely splendid day in Anita’s company - she is the owner of Brisbane Nature Tours. Anita drove us from our hotel downtown to the Maiala Rainforest north of Brisbane, where we spent a good portion of the day with our most knowledgeable guide. She was totally amazing and extremely familiar with all the plants and animals living in this beautiful rainforest. We appreciated finding out about all this, and we also enjoyed various lookout points, including over the beautiful waterfalls. Anita was a treat to have as a guide and we valued her expertise, enthusiasm and good company. An excellent way to learn so much about the local rainforest.

Relaxing, beautiful rainforest tour with an opportunity to learn about the nature in the area and time to take it all in. We saw a lot of wildlife on the tour and it was a very small group, so there was plenty of time to ask questions and none of the distractions and delays that are often seen in large group tours.

Great experience with Anita, who was very experienced and knowledgeable answering all our questions. Thanks Anita a very enjoyable day. Richie & Curly from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

We wound up with a private tour, just the two of us and our knowledgeable and pleasant guide, Anita. She took us on a great walk in the woods, seeing various birds and a pademelon or two, as well as interesting plant life. She clearly knows a lot about the flora and fauna of the region. That walk included a waterfall viewing and two other overlooks. She also prepared a picnic snack, with brewed coffee and tea, and fruit and cookies (Tim Tams 🙂). We had a wonderful time.

Anita was highly professional, very knowledgeable and informative. She took us to an amazing place where nature is mostly untouched and gave us a wonderful experience.

Anita was a great guide - very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. Unfortunately, the weather was too wet to make the planned walk enjoyable, but Anita devised an alternative whereby we saw what we could of the rain forest from the road, with stops to see viewpoints, plus we saw more of the surrounding bush country. The highlight was seeing a murmuration of hundreds of cormorants take off from a reservoir.

There was a bit of rain at the beginning of the trip, The rainforest displays its unique nature; the smell of the muddy earth, the fresh air, and the beautiful landscape and wildlife, too. After the rain stopped, the sun came out and the sky was clear, which made west window views towards the distance amazing also. Overall, it was a great experience.

My wife and I did a three week tour of Australia where we had a free day in Brisbane. We were lucky that the Malala Rainforest Tour was available on that day. It turned out to be one of our favorite excursions of the trip. It was apparent from the start how much passion that Anita has for nature and sharing her knowledge of the outdoors. She pointed out many details about the plants and the life of the rainforest that if we would have missed if we were on our own. She was also very accommodating by picking us up around the corner from our hotel rather than from the list of pickup points listed on Viator's web site. After the tour on the drive back to the hotel, Anita was open to sharing here experiences living in Australia. Note that as the web site states that lunch is not included, we did make a pit stop before the rainforest for a bathroom break where you can also purchase items for a later lunch. All in all it was a wonderful experience.
