Full description
Experience an exciting night time activity 4-wheel-driving, with local commentary on nocturnal flora and fauna as you travel. Towards the end of your tour, you will experience glow worms in their natural environment alongside a secluded national park waterfall.
Your fully-guided experience from start to finish is all about getting you into the forest to experience something that many have not. This is more than just a glow worm tour, it’s all about seeing the rainforest come to life at night time.
After you're picked up from your hotel in a luxurious 4-wheel-drive vehicle, you will travel to the top of Tamborine Mountain via a secluded off-road track. You can gaze up at the starry sky and out over the distant city lights of the Gold Coast as you warm up over a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate and some delicious cake, before setting out for a guided rainforest walk. Your guide will provide insight into the unique plants and animals that call this ancient ecosystem home. After you arrive at Curtis Falls, you will discover a peaceful cascade tucked deep within the forest within which a colony of glow-worms thrives.
