About this tour
A half-day exploration of Tamborine Mountain and the Gold Coast from Brisbane, this eight-to-nine-hour small-group tour takes you through subtropical rainforest, past a dramatic canopy walkway, and down to a coastal beach village. Travel with no more than ten others in an air-conditioned coach, stopping at Curtis Falls waterfall, browsing independent galleries and cafes, exploring glow worm caves, then heading to Paradise Point to see how locals spend their weekends by the water.
Highlights
- Elevated walkways and cantilever bridge through rainforest canopy
- Short walk to Curtis Falls through lush vegetation
- Gallery Walk: indie shops, studios, and local eateries
- Glow Worm Caves—luminescent display in natural cave
- Paradise Point beach village—local favourite, not tourist trap
What to expect
You'll leave Brisbane early for a scenic drive to Tamborine Mountain's elevated subtropical forest. The Rainforest Skywalk offers optional walkway access; if heights aren't your thing, grab coffee at ground level instead. A brief rainforest stroll brings you to Curtis Falls, where you'll cool off surrounded by greenery. Gallery Walk is ideal for lunch and browsing—independent shops and cafes fill a pedestrianised street. The glow worm caves are your next optional stop: a quiet underground chamber where tiny bioluminescent creatures create a starfield effect. Finally, the drive down to Paradise Point gives you beach-side time to watch surfers, swimmers, and locals living their weekend routine.
Good to know
Meals and snacks aren't included, so budget for lunch at Gallery Walk. Wear sturdy shoes for rainforest walking. Glow worm caves are dimly lit—bring a light jumper. Service animals are welcome. Public transport is nearby if you'd rather skip the tour.
