Mount Tamborine Day Tour by Moreton Bay Escapes

Tour Itinerary

Tamborine mountain's magnificent valleys, distant mountain ranges and tropical rainforests provide a peace and tranquility that is a complete contrast to the every day noise and demands on our time.

The day starts with a scenic drive to Mount Tamborine MacDonald National Park.

Our first walk of the day is the 1.4km (approx 40 min) MacDonald rainforest circuit. This mostly flat walk takes in Giant Strangler Figs, Hoop Pine, Giant Buttress trees, and an idyllic creek crossing, and is ideal for birdwatchers.

Next we take a 2.6km (approx 1 hour) Sandy Creek and Cameron Falls circuit walk. Scenic views, piccabeen palm groves, rainforest with tall trees emerging above the surrounding canopy, and Cameron Falls Lookout all feature on this walk.

A fresh and delicious picnic lunch is prepared by your tour guide in the middle of a beautiful setting at Knoll National park.

Following lunch, we journey to Joalah National Park. Joalah is an Aboriginal word meaning "haunt of the lyrebird". The loud calls of the male Albert's lyrebird can be heard during winter. Walk through rainforest and descend steep stairs to a large pool at the base of Curtis Falls. There is an impressive view of the falls and surrounding columnar basalt rock face (1.5km approx 30 min).

Our last activity today is to visit the Mount Tamborine Rainforest Skywalk. In a setting of 30 private acres of magnificent rainforest alongside a kilometer of tumbling creek and rockpools, this walkway is a stable, high-tech steel structure enabling visitors to explore the beautiful middle and upper canopies of the rainforest. It descends gradually to the lower canopy to rock pools and waterfalls, and a butterfly lookout.

The Cantilever is a 40 metre long span soaring 30 metres above the valley, with spectacular views over the creek and the rainforest canopies below.

This brings us to the end of our day and reluctantly we take you back to your accommodation.

Tour includes: Transport and experienced guide, Picnic Lunch, and all National Park fees.
