This full-day bus tour from Brisbane covers two national parks, Springbrook and Tamborine, known for their rainforest walks and wildlife. The tour lasts about 9 and a half hours and includes stops at the Natural Bridge section in Springbrook National Park and Joalah National Park in Tamborine. You begin by visiting Curtis Falls in Joalah National Park, where you walk through rainforest to see the waterfall and Cedar Creek. This area is good for spotting birds like Rainbow Lorikeets, kookaburras, King Parrots, and Rosellas, as well as small wallabies called pademelons. Next is the Cedar Creek Glow Worm caves on Tamborine Mountain. These caves use special lighting to simulate night conditions so you can see the glow worms during the day. You also have free time at Gallery Walk, an arts and crafts area with shops, cafes, wine tasting, and more. The tour includes a visit to the Natural Bridge in Springbrook National Park, reached via a walk through rainforest along Cave Creek where a waterfall drops into a cave below. There is also a stop at Hinze Dam, a wildlife area with kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, possums, bandicoots, and many birds including eagles and pelicans. Reptiles like lizards and turtles are common, and the area is lively with frogs and nocturnal animals at night. A short stop at the Tamborine Mountain hang glider lookout lets you see paragliders and hang gliders taking off from the escarpment on clear days. The tour is conducted in an air-conditioned minivan with a driver/guide. Bottled water and national park fees are included. Lunch and drinks other than bottled water are not included, and hotel pickup or drop-off is not provided. The group size is limited to 21 people for more personal attention.
