Duff is a very experienced and amazing guide - he explains to us about the wildlife at tamborine mountain and the glow worms and we enjoyed the experience a lot. He is also very funny and this made the tour very interactive! There was also a snake on the road when we were driving up the mountain and he guided the snake back to the sidewalk, it was such a crazy eye opening experience !
Beautiful and memorable tour seeing the glow worms, possums, the waterfall, geckos, an eel and the incredible glow worms. Also enjoyed the stunning star gazing. Tania was amazing with so much knowledge, warm and friendly and included everyone in conversation and care. 100 stairs included but Tania paced it well and stopped regularly.
Absolutely beautiful and our tour guide was amazing. Thank you!
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so pleased to hear you had such a beautiful experience and that your tour guide made it even more memorable. We really appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back on another Southern Cross Tours adventure soon! 🌿😊
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.
Thank you Neil for this wonderful review! Tania will be touched to hear it and know she was able to share her passion with you all. She works to hard to provide the best experience she can! :)
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.
