Things to do in Tamborine Mountain

Even though you'll be more than 30 feet up in the trees, you'll be completely safe with a harness and an instructor watching over you, so there's no need to be scared at all. There are also multiple routes to challenge yourself on and a zipline that's over 390 feet long, which is incredibly exciting and fun. Highly recommended!

Gary is a very knowledgeable guide, he knows everything about the forest habitat. He guided us to find a wild kangaroo family, leaded us to locate 3 Kolas on the same tree. He pointed out birds to us in various species. We also enjoyed a perfect morning tea with nice new friends in a sunny day. We walked through the national park and saw the waterfall without any difficulty.

This full-day tour has a packed itinerary, but it’s so well-paced that we never felt rushed and thoroughly enjoyed every stop. Our driver/tour guide must moonlight as a radio host because he kept us entertained with fascinating trivia the entire ride—even if you doze off, you’ll still wake up smarter! He also has supersonic ears and laser eyes for spotting wildlife, ensuring we saw everything we came for. Highly recommend!

is a new and remarkable experiences!!! we not expect that “ hop on hop off “ means that we can choose where we wanna go and drop and pick up freely and easily, allow us to explore all the tamborine national forrest area… im so satisfied!!!

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.

Our hotel pickup in Gold Coast was at 3:40 AM. After visiting several hotels, we drove for about 40 minutes, then had a 20-minute restroom and tea break, followed by another 10-minute drive to the hot air balloon launch site. It was still dark. As soon as we boarded the basket, we ascended quickly, rising high into the sky. At first, I was very scared, but I gradually got used to it and was able to see animals like sheep and kangaroos. I was also happy that they took many photos for us. It was a wonderful experience!

This was a very therapeutic and enjoyable trip. Our guide, Terry, was also very efficient in leading everyone, and the winery staff were highly professional. The lunch was delicious too. It's a perfect itinerary to share with friends who enjoy wine.
