Your experience

Only a short drive from the Gold Coast beaches, the Gondwana Rainforests have some of the largest areas of subtropical rainforest globally. Over 200 rare or threatened species live in the forests and the area's significance has been compared to that of the Galapagos Islands. On this small-group tour, participate in a truly personalized experience with no more than 16 people per tour and enjoy a round-trip transfer from your central Gold Coast hotel. Visit the Natural Arch, where you can enter the basalt cave and see the water cascading through the roof that was formed over millions of years ago.

Enjoy views of northern South Wales and Mount Warning, the beating heart of the Tweed valley. Your walk to the Best of All Lookout track includes passing by one of the last remaining pockets of the Antarctic Beech forest. From here, make your way to the view platform nearby to see the magical Purling Brook Falls. Enjoy the scenery at Numinbah Valley and listen to the amazing commentary on the area and its wildlife. Enjoy the stunning views of Twin Falls and Rainbow Falls from Canyon Lookout, or head to Goomoolahra Falls Lookout to see Goomoolahra Falls, Springbrook National Park, and the Gold Coast – depending on the day's conditions. As you return to the Gold Coast, keep a watch out for kangaroos and pretty-faced wallabies; they come out of bushes once in a while to feed on the lush grass!
