What to expect

Your guide meets you at your Gold Coast or Brisbane accommodation and drives to the rainforest. You'll choose activities on arrival: some prefer multiple waterfall hikes, others linger at lookouts or search for wildlife. Walking distances vary—you can avoid stairs if needed. Expect muddy tracks, creek crossings, and frequent stops for photos and wildlife spotting. Lunch happens mid-tour at a waterfall base (not included if starting after 4pm, unless requested). The pace is entirely yours; bring comfortable shoes and a reusable water bottle for refills.

Tours from 4pm onwards exclude lunch unless arranged beforehand. Families with prams and service animals welcome.
