Had an amazing experience with Duff as our tour guide, showing us all the little things in the forest we would have missed without him and the waterfall was beautiful. Thanks Duff

Expect to see another side of the Gold Coast Experience walking in a rainforest at night and be informed about the wildlife and vegetation Damien held his composure and was an exceptional guide who was able to communicate with a range of people from various backgrounds

Delightful, Informative and Fun. Our Guide Tania was engaging and interested in getting the most out of the experience for each participant. She was very knowledgable not just about the tour but the whole area. It was obvious she loves where she lives and that enthusiasm made the experience so much better. Thank you Tania.

Absolutely incredible experience! We went on the glow worms night tour on a Sunday evening, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The temperature was just right, the atmosphere was peaceful, and being surrounded by such incredible nature of the forest truly felt like witnessing God’s creation! A massive thank you to Tanya for making the night even more special your passion and warmth really shone through! If you’re looking for an unforgettable night out that’s relaxing, unique, and gets you out of the house, I can’t recommend this enough. We’ll definitely be back for another tour! Thank you again, and God bless you and the team. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you so much for this amazing review! Tanya will be touched to hear your kind words. She works hard to make sure she's providing the best experience possible for you all, and sometimes the forest meets her halfway for a truely magical experience!
It was really a magical night. We saw a lot of animals and our guide explained us a lot about them. The athmosphere was all in all really good, because our guide interacted a lot with is. Can only recommend!
Thank you so much for this review! Our guides have so much passion and drive behind them, they make it so easy to have a truely wonderful experience :)
The tour was absolutely amazing. Our guide was fantastic, very entertaining and incredibly knowledgeable. He shared so many interesting facts about the rainforest and its wildlife, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We were lucky to see a lot of animals during the walk including possums, bandicoots, lizards, geckos and even an eel in the lake. There were also plenty of spiders along the way which made the night walk feel like a real adventure. One of the highlights was seeing the fluorescent mushrooms and of course the glowing worms. It was truly magical and something I had never experienced before. Overall, it was a wonderful and memorable tour. I would highly recommend it to anyone!
Thank you so much for this amazing review! We're glad you were able to find so many amazing creatures on your tour! The Gold Coast has so many wonderful things to see, and a guide goes a long!
Matt was super knowledgeable about Tamborine mountain and the rich history of Gold Coast, he is well mannered and a professional tour guide. Definitely recommend anyone for this tour.
Glow Worm tour last night up at Mt. Tambourine National Park with Southern Cross Tours - our tour guide Alex was excellent with a cracking sense of humour! Made everyone feel welcome and shared a great variety of information on the drive, which was really interesting and fun! The views on the way up to the park were stunning and if you have time you should definitely check it out during daylight hours too if you get the chance. We saw an amazing selection of creatures, including a water dragon, huge panda(?) snail, giant (and I mean giant!) cricket, a selection of spiders, a cane toad, cute frog and a couple of leaf-tailed gheckos! The slaters curled themselves into a ball when picked up and were so metallic! We did see the glow worms too of course, but difficult to get good photos on my phone. Highly recommend! 👌
Hi there! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear you had such a fantastic evening on the Glow Worm tour with Alex. He’ll be delighted to know his sense of humour and passion for sharing information made the experience both fun and memorable! It sounds like you encountered an incredible lineup of wildlife. We love that you enjoyed spotting everything from water dragons to leaf-tailed geckos, nature really puts on a show up there. You’re absolutely right about the views too, Tamborine is stunning both day and night! Thanks again for the high recommendation, it truly means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon! 🌟
