Mt Tamborine National Park 4WD Nocturnal Rainforest and Glow Worm Tour

Leave the crowds behind and go stargazing and wildlife watching in Mt Tamborine National Park’s eucalypt rainforest. Australia's only night-time rainforest and glow-worm tour by 4WD takes you into the rainforest searching for native flora and fauna by torchlight. Follow your guide on a nocturnal bushwalk to a magical waterfall lit by the twinkling glimmer of glow worms, and enjoy personalized attention on this must-do small-group tour.

After being picked up from your Gold Coast hotel, head off-road by luxury 4WD to the summit of MtTamborine. Stop off along the way to take in panoramic views of the Gold Coast skyline from a secluded lookout.

Reaching the summit of Mt Tamborine, enjoy supper at the cafe with a choice of homemade cakes and biscuits accompanied by a frothy cappuccino, cup of tea or warming hot chocolate.

Then as the sky darkens and the stars twinkle, head out on a guided walk through the rainforest as the nocturnal wildlife wake from their slumber and come out to play.

With your own low-watt torch to light the way, follow a hidden trail to a waterfall, where the glow worms gleam in the darkness. Your guide's high-visibility LED torch is designed to lead the way without disturbing the wildlife on this nocturnal tour, a treat for all the family.
