Lamington National Park, O'Reilly's & Vineyard Tour

About this tour

Climb into the Gold Coast hinterland to explore one of the world's largest subtropical rainforests at Lamington National Park. This six-to-seven-hour guided tour takes you 1,000 metres up to O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat, where you'll walk amongst the canopy, hand-feed wild parrots, and learn the property's colourful past—including a crashed Stinson plane. Finish at Canungra Valley Vineyard with a complimentary sparkling wine and peek at the alpaca farm nestled by the mountain stream.

Highlights

• Canopy walkway through subtropical rainforest canopy
• Hand-feed rainbow lorikeets and other native birds
• O'Reilly's Retreat: historic homestead and mountain views
• Complimentary glass of estate sparkling wine
• Mountain View Alpaca Farm visit at vineyard

What to expect

You'll depart from Surfers Paradise and climb steadily into cooler, mist-cloaked ranges. At O'Reilly's, a local guide walks you through the retreat's history whilst pointing out birds overhead, then leads you onto the elevated treetop walk for unobstructed views across the valley. The pace is unhurried—there's time to absorb the quiet and spot wildlife. After, head down to the vineyard nestled in a mountain valley; bring cash if you want lunch, as the wine glass and light snacks are included but meals aren't.
