Tamborine Mountain and Paradise Point Tour from Brisbane
Description
Experience the magic of Tamborine Mountain on an intimate small-group tour (usually around 6 guests). After a scenic drive from Brisbane, our first stop is the Tamborine Rainforest Skywalk (optional), where you can stroll along elevated walkways and a dramatic cantilever bridge through the canopy—or relax nearby with a coffee if you prefer to keep your feet on the ground. After, enjoy a short hike to Curtis Falls, a beautiful waterfall surrounded by lush rainforest. Explore the Gallery Walk, a charming street lined with artisan shops, cafes, and restaurants. After lunch, witness the wonder of the Glow Worm Caves (optional), a truly magical experience. When we are done the with mountain, we head to the beach at Paradise Point so you can see where the locals enjoy the coastal lifestyle!

Itinerary
An exciting Eco-Adventure offering guests a unique way to explore the beautiful rainforest canopies. Set in a magical 30 acres of privately owned rainforest beside the crystal clear rock-pools of Cedar Creek on Mt Tamborine. The entire walk totals 1.5 kms and is a combination of forest floor trails, 300 metres of high-tech steel bridges through the highest points of the upper canopy, and a 40 metre cantilever bridge that soars a breathtaking 30 metres above the creek and rainforest below.
If you are over the shops and you simply love nature, beautiful trees and the sounds of birds... Take a walk along a path through a shaded enclave of stunning rainforest trees that lead to a beautiful waterfall. This 1km round trip walk will take you around 30 mins including time at the falls and to take photos. If you love to walk, it's a 1km walk for Gallery Walk or I can drive you to the car park to begin your trek.
Here you get to browse all the shops, galleries, food & beverage plus distilleries and wineries.
Optional Experience: Glow Worm Caves offer the only opportunity in Queensland to see glow worms during the day. Over the course of 30 minutes, you’ll see a glow worm up close and learn all about their life cycle and behaviour. The cave features a colony of native Mount Tamborine glow worms and has been designed to maintain ideal conditions for our delicate glow worms throughout the year, providing the perfect environment for a healthy colony. This admission price is not included in this tour.
Paradise Point is at the northern end of the Gold Coast area. We drive across Hope Island on our way to Paradise Point. The broadwater here is the stretch of water between the mainland and South Stradbroke Island. The northern end of Paradise Point is on the Coomera River.

Beautiful views from Mt Tamborine. We enjoyed the rainforest walk. Our tour guidance was good although our lunch location was not good. It should have been Gallery Walk.
Thanks for your review Jeroen and I'm glad you enjoyed the nature aspects of Tamborine Mountain 😊 I appreciate your feedback regarding the lunch location. We understand your preference for Gallery Walk, and we're sorry that the chosen spot didn't meet your expectations. We typically select our lunch locations based on a variety of factors, including group size and timing. However, we're always looking to improve our tours based on customer feedback.
Great personalised tour. Visited all listed attractions with the time allowed controlled by us. Detour to Distillery accommodated
Thanks for your kind review Michael. It was great to meet you and your crew!
Trevor was an excellent host. He was very knowledgeable, kind and considerate to all on the tour. The highlights are the rainforest bridge walk and the glow worm caves are a must! He knew all areas very well and was very informative with all questions asked. A thoroughly thorough enjoyable day!
Thank you for your thoughtful review. Very much appreciated. I'm so glad you enjoyed your day :-)
We really enjoyed our day with Trevor. He was attentive to the things we wanted to see. Giving us ample time to explore. We saw a wallaby in the wild as well as a kookaburra. Don’t pass up getting to see the glow worms. They were really fascinating, something you might never get the chance to see again. Trevor took us to a lunch spot off the beaten path with a little bit for everyone to enjoy. A beautiful and relaxing day!
Thank you for your glowing review! ;-) I'm glad you and Jennifer enjoyed your day away with Dear Australia :-)
Trevor and Tracy were excellent hosts for this tour . they went out of their way for all of us on the bus., tending to all of our needs. they showed us a Tamborine Mountains, the beautiful city of Tamborine, and the rainforest , and much more. It was a lovely day enjoyed by all, and I would highly recommend this store to anyone. Excellent company to go with. Oh, by the way, Tracy, I found a Tim tams, and I bought the chewy caramel and the originals for my husband. He will love them!
Thanks for the lovely review Verla. I'm glad you enjoyed our day out :-) Chewy caramel TimTams are pretty good too!
We had an amazing day with Trevor. He was a fabulous tour guide and very accommodating. There is a short hike to Curtis Falls but even with a knee injury I was able to enjoy it. The vehicle was extremely comfortable and was a very small group. I would highly this your and Trevor!!!
Thanks for your encouraging review! Fabulous weather and a very fine lunch view indeed ;-)
Glow worm caves, Springbrook, Tambourine Mountain sky walk through the Jurassic forest, waterfall..a full day adventure from Brisbane 👍
Thanks for you review Dana :-) Happy flying!
Trevor was very accomodating. The group was small and he catered accordingly. Explained where we were headed. Booked us in ahead so we remained on time but also had time to sightsee. Enjoyed tambourine mountain. So people were so friendly and accommodating. I think we have been to a friendlier township. Would definitely recommend.
Thanks Judy for your kind review! It was a really pleasant, unrushed day. I'm glad you enjoyed Tamborine Mountain, it is a delightful spot :-)
It was nice relaxing day , but we still visited places we want to visit, we enjoyed it! We would recommend this trip to everybody
Thanks for your kind review! I'm glad you felt the tour was relaxing... this is my aim :-)
On a short hike we watched Cedar Falls. There are some steep steps but only for a couple of minutes. The glowworms were fantastic. Though not included, Trevor, the guide, booked online for us to get on a 30min tour. It was not allowed to take pictures, but all explanations and experiencing the small lights in the dark was great. On the way south we stopped in Surfers Paradise, for some time and were at a lookout over two long beaches. Trevor even let me bring my bags to drop me off at train station after the tour.
Thanks for your kind review! I look forward to the next time you visit Australia and we can find somewhere new and exciting for you to experience :-)
