Itinerario
Después de recogerlo, nos dirigimos hacia Mount Glorious. El sinuoso camino hacia el sendero Maiala atraviesa la selva subtropical del Parque Nacional D'Aguilar. Este recorrido panorámico tiene características naturales espectaculares e impresionantes.
Comenzando en el circuito Rainforest, pasearemos por un bosque mágico de higos estranguladores, helechos, palmeras, hongos y lianas trepadoras. Admiraremos la majestuosa belleza de una vieja goma azul de Sydney, magnífica superviviente del bosque de eucaliptos que una vez dominó esta zona. Con suerte, los cantos característicos de Whipbird, Catbird y Woompo Dove te ayudarán a detectarlos. Además de los innumerables pajaritos, es posible que tenga suerte de ver eslizones, salmonetes terrestres o monitores de encaje.
Continuaremos hacia The Green Falls a lo largo del malecón y admiraremos higueras gigantes, raíces retorcidas y coloridas flores y hongos que decoran el suelo del bosque. Se pueden ver pademelones y corredores de troncos arrastrándose desde la sombra de la maleza. Cerca de los arroyos, veremos los agujeros donde se puede encontrar el cangrejo espinoso Monte Glorioso, una criatura tímida y nocturna en peligro de extinción. Se puede encontrar agua en la cascada durante todo el año, pero está en su mejor momento después de fuertes lluvias. La caminata hacia las cataratas es principalmente cuesta abajo, así que prepárese para un viaje de regreso cuesta arriba.
Continuamos por Cypress Grove Track. Esta es una caminata corta que se deriva del circuito Rainforest. La caminata serpentea a través de grandes eucaliptos, enredaderas y una pequeña arboleda de cipreses nativos. Podemos ver matorrales de ceja blanca entrando y saliendo de la hojarasca perturbada en la caza de pequeños insectos. También estaremos atentos para encontrar uno de sus hermosos nidos construidos en las vides. A menudo, el Catbird se puede escuchar y ver en esta pista.
Caminaremos de regreso a la selva tropical de camino al área de recreación. En nuestro camino, notaremos espacios abiertos en el dosel. Después de fuertes lluvias y tormentas, algunos árboles grandes se caen. Estos parches son ideales para que una nueva generación de árboles cree un nuevo dosel. Tendremos nuestro almuerzo y refrigerios en la hermosa área de picnic.
En el área de recreación, pondremos a hervir la tetera para tomar un café o para ti. Es un lugar maravilloso para disfrutar de un picnic. Podemos admirar el gran pino Bunya y una maravillosa higuera de Moreton Bay. Habrá muchas aves a nuestro alrededor para admirar.
Después de nuestro picnic, caminaremos hasta el mirador Western Window, donde podremos disfrutar de amplias vistas del paisaje ondulado hacia el oeste. En un día despejado, puede ver Cunninghams Gap y Mount Barney, ¡así que no olvide traer su cámara! Continuaremos con un cortocircuito de la pista Westridge y encontraremos algunos árboles más impresionantes.

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.
Hi Robert, Thanks for your great review. I am glad we had a wonderful day in the rainforest and that you enjoyed the tour. Hope you have a great trip in New Zealand and leave Down Under with great memories.
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!
Thanks, Steven, for your kind review and great company. ;)
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.
Thanks so much for your fantastic review. It was a great day out in your enthusiastic company. I am delighted you enjoyed it ;) Safe travels. Anita :)
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.
Thanks so much for your kind review. I am glad you enjoyed the private tour to the fullest. Safe travels Anita ;)
Great experience with Anita, who was very experienced and knowledgeable answering all our questions. Thanks Anita a very enjoyable day. Richie & Curly from 🏴
Thanks, Richi & Curly, for your great company today. It was a very joyful day. Enjoy the rest of your stay in Down Under.
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.
Thanks so much for your kind review. You were a lovely couple to have with me on the day for the muddy adventure ;)
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.
Thanks Natalia for your kind review.
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.
Thanks, Martin, for your kind review. I am glad the day turned out well, and we could see a lot of different habitats all in one day.
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.
Thanks so much for your great review. It was great meeting you, and I wish you much luck with your fantastic career. Anita
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.
