An exceptional day in the bush!
The Glow Worms, Rainforest & Waterfalls experience was fantastic! It is a very complete tour. You get to walk amazing trails with great views and encounters with topical fauna. But the best is Peter's knowledge and generosity in explaining everything and answering every question. He is very professional, always trying to find curiosities to point out to you, and explain. Very professional! Food was also great!!!! I strongly recommend you take this tour!!! Thank you so much!
I had an amazing experience on my tour with Peter. From the moment I stepped on board, he was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely enthusiastic. His passion for the rainforest and wildlife really shines through, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Peter is knowledgeable and professional, and he made everyone feel comfortable and included. He shared interesting insights throughout the day while keeping things relaxed and fun. Nothing felt rushed, and I always felt well looked after. It was a truly memorable experience, and I left with a big smile and some wonderful memories. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Gold Coast!
Our tour guide, Talitha, was energetic and friendly. She also pointed out several animals and plants for us to learn about.
Superb experience and superb guide. Peter was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. I really appreciate his guidance. I strongly recommend this tour!
A lovely afternoon up in the rainforest looking at waterfalls, followed by an evening looking at the glow worms. Peter is very knowledgeable and took time and effort to point out various plants and animals... ensuring we knew which ones are dangerous. In all we walked between 8 and 10km, often up and down steps and steep inclines. It was quite a tiring day but worth the effort! Description says small level of fitness required, I would change this to a moderate level.
Fantastic experience and Peter the guide was amazing worth every penny the food Peter cooked for us was delicious thanks for the experience xx
Tabitha was an absolute gem! She was knowledgeable and kind. Just the right amount of hiking and lunch was deelish! I would highly recommend this tour!!
Amazing tour at Springbrook natural park with a good guide and we had time to take some lovely pictures. Definetly worth the trip...
The Rainforest tour is definitely one of our highlights of our honeymoon the wildlife, waterfalls, views and the wealth of knowledge our guide Peter and Talitha bestowed onto us made this a magical experience. I would recommend this to anyone it is definitely worth it in everyway, a self guided tour will not be the same.
