The Evening Rainforest and Glow Worm Half Day Tour in Gold Coast was a truly fantastic experience. In early October, we witnessed a breathtaking abundance of glow worms lighting up the night, creating a magical atmosphere. On our way to Curtis Falls, we spotted a variety of wildlife, including spiders and lizards, which added to the thrill of the adventure. Our guide, Ryan, provided red flashlights that were perfect for the tour, allowing us to see clearly without disturbing the glow worms. The trail itself was easy and enjoyable, suitable for all ages—there were even young children in our group who navigated it effortlessly. Ryan’s knowledge and enthusiasm were exceptional. He provided detailed explanations whenever we had questions about the wildlife and kept the atmosphere light and fun throughout the tour. His humor and great energy made the tour engaging from beginning to end. Overall, this tour combines nature, wildlife, and the magic of glow worms with a friendly and informative guide, making it perfect for families and nature enthusiasts alike.

This trip was fantastic! Our Mandarin-speaking tour guide, Lean, was incredibly lively, engaging, and entertaining. It was our first time participating, and we gained a lot of knowledge about fireflies and Australian tree species. The night sky was brilliant, even though it was a bit windy. The thoughtful snacks and drinks made us feel warm and fuzzy. On the return trip, there was a sudden downpour, and we're truly grateful to our guide for saving us six from getting drenched. We have a wonderful memory of ending the day here! Of course, we have to give it at least a five-star recommendation! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍

Super duper Considerate, responsible, well-prepared and caring tour guide! Thank you Victor for bringing the cold water, snacks, sunscreen and even fruits for all of us! He also took really good pictures and possesses rich knowledge of various natural wonders in the Springbrook. His time management skill is also excellent which control the rhythm of each scenic stop just right! Having enough time to take various pictures, rest while never get bored~ The best trip I’ve ever had so far! Couldn’t be more grateful that I met him!

Dear Michael, Thank you so much for your company throughout the entire trip today and for your detailed explanations. And thank you for letting me see Sirius and the moon through a telescope for the first time — I never knew they were this beautiful. Even though we missed the pickup time this morning, you still helped arrange an Uber for us. And driving all the way from the Gold Coast to Brisbane is really a long distance — thank you for spending the whole day taking care of us. I hope every day ahead brings you happiness, and I wish you wonderful guests to accompany you on every journey. – Chris & Annie

Ticking off the bucketlist! Took the 5 minutes flight (tour 1) for 95 AUD per person. It was worth it. I would love to have the 10 or even the 15 minutes tour if budget was not an issue.
