What to expect
You'll be picked up from your Gold Coast base and driven to Mount Tamborine, where the real exploring begins. The shuttle operates on a hop-on hop-off system, meaning you decide how long to spend at each stop—whether that's a quick look at the monument or a longer walk through the forest. The glow worm caves are the standout; these tiny creatures light up the darkness when you venture underground. Expect moderate forest walks, mountain air, and viewpoints across the hinterland. The day flows at your rhythm, not a set schedule.
Good to know

Minimum two people per booking. Infant seats and prams are available; children under five should sit on an adult's lap during transfers.
