Product information
Explore Tamborine National Park, the crown jewel of the Gold Coast Hinterland, and immerse yourself in its charming mountaintop community. Begin your adventure with a serene walk through Coombabah Lakelands Conservation Park, where you can encounter kangaroos lounging in their natural habitat, effortlessly striking poses for your camera. Keep your eyes peeled for the elusive koalas, a delightful and common sight.
The Yugambeh language people are traditional custodians of the country you will be visiting. Our expert guides have been endorsed by the local aboriginal representatives to share the history and culture of the region’s First Nations peoples.
Continue your journey to Mount Tamborine for a delightful morning tea featuring delicious oven-fresh scones topped with jam and cream, accompanied by a selection of fine teas and coffees followed by an informative guided walk through the rainforest to the famous Curtis Waterfall. Indulge in some shopping along Gallery Walk, the celebrated heart of Tamborine Mountain’s art and craft scene, showcasing exquisite, locally crafted goods. The region is gaining acclaim for its boutique wineries—take this opportunity to savour a glass of the local red, white, or fortified wine, perhaps selecting a bottle to cherish at home. If you prefer hops and barley, the local brewery offers a tasting flight of their craft beers (at your own expense).
Our seasoned guides, experts of the area, will lead you through the Gold Coast Hinterland’s rich tapestry of ecosystems, sharing their favourite spots and the secrets of the region’s diverse plant and animal life.
