Gold Coast

Thanks to our tour guides Logan and Steve, we had a great night with the small group. It was worth the money as we learned a lot about the habitat and species in the national park. We were able to find decaying trees, spiders, glow-worms, and even some ghost fungus! The tour ended with stargazing on our way back to the city; the countless stars are the gem of the Gold Coast. Thanks for the great night!

I was soothed by the beautiful scenery and waterfalls from the morning. I even encountered wild kangaroos! Our guide, Enva, was friendly and helped us throughout the tour, even using a translation tool along the way. Since there's a lot of driving, those prone to motion sickness should be a little careful. The Aquaduck office, where we were picked up, was clean and easy to find.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I had only ever participated in English-speaking local tours, but having a Japanese guide really provided a sense of comfort and was excellent. The starry sky I saw during the tour was incredibly full and beautiful, unlike anything I've ever seen in Japan. Also, the glowworms were magnificent, like a sky full of light blue stars fallen to the earth.

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!!!

A very good introduction and journey. Enjoy the time of past owners of the land and how they affect the current Australia!
