Itinerary

Curtis Falls
We explore Joalah National Park, taking a walk through the rainforest to Curtis Falls. Besides admiring the picturesque falls and Cedar Creek, it's a prime location for spotting iconic birdlife like the Rainbow Lorikeet, kookaburra, King Parrot, and colorful Rosella. You might even encounter shy pademelons, small rainforest wallabies.

Tamborine Mountain Glow Worm Caves
Glow worms naturally only glow at night. Our tour offers a unique daytime viewing experience. We visit the award-winning Cedar Creek Glow Worm caves, specifically designed to simulate nighttime conditions. Thousands of glow worms thrive here in ideal, specially created environments, providing the best way to see them!
· 45 min· Admission included

Tamborine Mountain
During your visit to Tamborine, enjoy leisure time at the popular Gallery Walk. This is Queensland's premier arts and crafts district, featuring a diverse array of clothing, jewelry, art galleries, fudge and sweet shops, wine tasting centers, and a boutique brewery, among other attractions.
· 1 h

Tamborine Mountain Lookout
Hang Gliders Tamborine Mountain offers one of the most stunning lookout points on the mountain. Situated high on the western escarpment, just off Main Western Road, this launch site provides expansive views across the Scenic Rim towards the Great Dividing Range. On suitable days, witness hang gliders and paragliders launching and soaring, carried by mountain thermals. It's an unforgettable spectacle to watch these colorful wings drift silently above the valley, set against rolling hills and vast skies. Whether you're captivated by the launch or simply wish to absorb the scenery, this is one of Tamborine's most spectacular and beloved stops.
· 15 min
5
Natural Bridge
Within Springbrook National Park, we journey through the Numinbah Valley, characterized by its valleys, escarpments, and forests, until we reach the Natural Bridge section. Enjoy a one-hour walk through the magnificent rainforest to Cave Creek, where you'll witness a waterfall cascading into the cave below.
· 1 h 10 min· Admission included
6
Hinze Dam
Hinze Dam serves as a vital water source and a sanctuary for wildlife. Around the lake and in the adjacent bushland, kangaroos and wallabies are frequently seen grazing. Koalas can also be spotted, typically high in eucalyptus trees, resting or moving between branches. The forests are home to possums, bandicoots, and the occasional echidna. Birdlife is particularly abundant, with opportunities to see eagles soaring, black swans and cormorants on the lake, and colorful lorikeets and king parrots in the trees. The dam also attracts various waterbirds like pelicans, herons, and ducks. Reptiles, including lizards basking on rocks and turtles near the water's edge, are part of the ecosystem. At night, the area comes alive with the sounds of frogs and nocturnal animals.

★★★★★Viator review
It was amazing to see Australia’s wildlife plus its beautiful nature.
Kristi_W, October 2026
James did a great job of getting us safely to each site and telling us a lot about Brisbane and the area, very friendly guy, but he went above and beyond by looking for wildlife for us at each stop plus while driving on the road. We saw wild kangaroos, wallabies, and even a koala and her joey! It was amazing!

Super trip and James was a top notch guide. Really knew his flora and fauna and showed us kangaroos, wallabies and koalas in the wild. Great views and hikes. Light rain in a rainforest. Highly recommend for a day trip.
