Beyond the beaches another paradise awaits, Nature's Paradise - the World Heritage Listed Rainforests of Lamington National Park and Tamborine National Park. Where only a 4WD can take you we will follow the original pioneer's track to the volcanic plateau of Tamborine Mountain. This area of secluded eucalyptus forests provides a private sanctuary for koalas, wallabies and other varied wildlife.

After morning tea and a chance to check out Gallery Walk , It's time to stretch the legs when your guides, who are renowned for their local knowledge and expertise, escort you on a leisurely walk. Discover lush subtropical rainforests with cascading waterfalls, learn about the forests unique characteristics, how the Aboriginal people gathered food from the forest floor and the animals that call the area home.

Entertainment includes a whip cracking demonstration and everyone is encouraged to participate, often with hilarious results.

Following lunch, the tour continues to O'Reilly's Plateau, some 3,000 feet above see level, where colourful native birds flock around and can be fed. The Treetop Boardwalk through the rainforest canopy offers a bird's eye view of this enchanting area.

Reviews

"Darren is a wonderful host, funny and well informed with local and natural history. Food was good and plentiful and the bush walks were wonderful especially where there is a boardwalk and treetop canopy walk and beautiful parrots to hand feed. This trip is such a fact and fun-filled day and really good value for money." James, Mar 2008
