Recent reviews
A very interesting tour, a few creepy crawlers and glow worms and of course the beautiful waterfalls glowing in the light of the moon.
A great 4WD ride to the rainforest. Delicious light refreshment. An interesting creepy crawlers special the door trap spiders (thanks to Duff our tour guy) and of course the beautiful view of Gold Coast from the top of Mt.Tamborine and the glow worm and waterfalls are some of the highlights of the tour. Highly recommended.
It was really heart wrenching and mind-blowing
It was really heart wrenching and mind-blowing. The explanations of the tour guide Herry was really appreciated, to see glow worm is this much I couldn’t believe, and how could I forget the mystery cake which was already included in our package everything was up to mark.
Fantastic tour
Fantastic tour. Aaron was very knowledgeable and we had a great time. The cake and hot chocolate were a tasty dessert. Saw a lot of lizards, a crab and even a snake on the way out. The walk was quite easy on the way down and up. The 4WD was fun. Overall 10/10!
