Prohlídky Tamborine National Park

je nový a pozoruhodný zážitek!!! Nečekali jsme, že „hop on hop off“ znamená, že si můžeme svobodně a snadno vybrat, kam chceme jet, vystoupit a nastoupit, což nám umožní prozkoumat celou oblast národního lesa Tamborine… Jsem tak spokojená!!!

Gary je velmi znalý průvodce, ví všechno o lesním prostředí. Provedl nás k nalezení rodiny divokých klokanů, dovedl nás k lokalizaci 3 koal na stejném stromě. Ukázal nám různé druhy ptáků. Také jsme si užili perfektní dopolední čaj s milými novými přáteli za slunečného dne. Prošli jsme národním parkem a bez jakýchkoli potíží jsme viděli vodopád.

The glow worms themselves were beautiful and definitely worth seeing, and our guide was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful throughout the tour. However, the overall itinerary felt inefficient, with quite a lot of time spent traveling compared with the actual time at the glow worm site. The bus ride was also quite bumpy and uncomfortable, especially for a longer journey with children. Overall, the glow worm experience and guide were very good, but the transportation, scheduling, and overall value could be improved.

Tania was a wonderful guide. She made an effort to get to know each member of our group. Her commentary was very thorough—besides introducing us to the glowworms, she also shared a lot about the forest ecosystem. Along the way, we even spotted some small animals and enjoyed a beautiful starry sky.

Tato celodenní prohlídka má nabitý program, ale je tak dobře naplánovaná, že jsme se nikdy necítili uspěchaní a důkladně jsme si užili každou zastávku. Náš řidič/průvodce musí být na vedlejší úvazek rozhlasový moderátor, protože nás celou cestu bavil fascinujícími zajímavostmi – i když si zdřímnete, probudíte se chytřejší! Má také nadzvukové uši a laserové oči na pozorování divoké zvěře, takže jsme viděli vše, pro co jsme přijeli. Vřele doporučujeme!

We took this tour with our 8-year-old child, and we were deeply impressed by the professionalism and attentiveness of our guide and driver, Michael. From the pre-trip email confirming the hotel and pickup time to his punctual arrival, the service was impeccable. Along the way, Michael kindly provided explanations and took us to the Glow Worm conservation center. Unlike fireflies in Taiwan, these glow worms are tiny, and entering the cave felt like being immersed in a vast starry sky—it was both magnificent and beautiful. Afterward, we went to Eagle Heights for a panoramic view of the Gold Coast, then headed to a stargazing spot to witness a stunning sunset. What touched us most was Michael's thoughtfulness. He prepared mats for us to lie on while we rested and ate. The dinner was simple yet incredibly delicious. Our child loved the Australian sausages so much that he ate four! I also really enjoyed the sparkling white wine, and when Michael noticed, he enthusiastically took a photo of the bottle for me, making it easier for me to find it again when I return to Taiwan. The starry sky that night was unbelievably beautiful. Through a powerful telescope, as grand as a utility pole, we clearly saw Jupiter and numerous star clusters, and we were even able to take photos with our phones. Michael's explanation of the constellations was easy to understand, and our child learned a lot. This was a peaceful and surprising nature trip, and I sincerely recommend it to anyone who loves nature and stargazing.
