About this tour
Build a rainforest day tailored to your pace and interests across Queensland's World Heritage Gondwana forests. Choose your own mix: wade behind cascading waterfalls, track wild kangaroos through open forest, spot dozing koalas in the canopy, hunt for glowworms after dark, or climb to lookouts for sweeping views. Your private guide navigates everything from short strolls to full-day adventures, with packed lunch at waterfall bases and door-to-door transport from Gold Coast or Brisbane.

- Walk among wild kangaroos in their natural setting

- Glowworm spotting available on extended tours

What to expect
Your guide collects you from your Gold Coast or Brisbane accommodation and drives into the rainforest. The day unfolds at your chosen tempo—you might spend two hours on short walks between lookouts, or commit to a full expedition hitting a dozen waterfall bases. Most involve gentle forest paths; stairs exist but can be skirted. Between walks, rest by pools or eat lunch at a waterfall. Expect humid warmth, river crossings, and genuine encounters with kangaroos and, if lucky, koalas in branches overhead. Glowworm tours run evening-style on longer bookings. Your guide shares local ecology knowledge throughout.
Good to know

Poor cardiovascular fitness isn't ideal due to walking distances, though routes are customisable. Contact the operator directly for dates not listed or group arrangements.
