Description
Swap Brisbane's city buzz for the cool mountain air of Tamborine Mountain in the heart of the Scenic Rim. This full-day adventure kicks off with pickups in Brisbane before making tracks to rainforests, waterfalls and boutique villages set amongst lush hinterland. With your hop on hop off pass, you can set your own pace - whether you're hunting down a cracking brew, wandering artisan shops along Gallery Walk or soaking in epic views at scenic lookouts.
The star act is your guaranteed slot at the Glow Worm Caves; follow your guide on the rainforest boardwalk and step into a purpose-built cave, where thousands of blue glow worms light up the dark. This daytime experience means reliable sightings in complete comfort.
The hop on hop off shuttle gives you the freedom to explore. Visit cellar doors, breweries or quirky cafés between rainforest rambles and your glow worm encounter. Tell your local driver where you want to go and hop back on the next bus when you're ready for another stop.
You'll finish up with a breezy shuttle ride back to Brisbane, camera full and belly likely craving round two. If your plans change, ask about a drop-off at Helensvale Train Station for an early getaway. Adventure sorted, mates!
