Make the most of your day on Tamborine Mountain with both of its signature
rainforest experiences included. This flexible tour combines return coach
transfers from Brisbane, unlimited hop on hop off access on the mountain, a
guided Glow Worm Cave tour and pre-booked Rainforest Skywalk entry.

After a relaxed drive to the Scenic Rim, you’ll arrive at Tamborine Mountain –
a cool, green plateau known for its wineries, breweries, distilleries,
rainforest walks and the boutiques and cafés of Gallery Walk. From here,
you’ll connect with the local hop on hop off service, which loops between key
stops throughout the day.

You’re free to design your own itinerary. Hop off for tastings at wineries and
breweries, linger over lunch at a café, browse local art and gift shops, or
visit lookouts and short walks for sweeping valley views. At your allocated
times, you’ll join two included attractions: a guided Glow Worm Cave tour and
the elevated Rainforest Skywalk.

The Glow Worm Cave experience takes you along a rainforest boardwalk and into
a purpose-built cave where thousands of glow worms glitter overhead. At the
Rainforest Skywalk, elevated steel walkways and forest trails lead you through
lush canopy and down to the forest floor with interpretive signage along the
way.

Between these experiences, you can continue using the hop on hop off service
to explore more of Tamborine Mountain. In the afternoon, meet the Brisbane
shuttle for a comfortable return to the city, wrapping up a full day of
rainforest, views and village charm – all on your own schedule, with the key
highlights already taken care of.
