Private Rainforest and Wildlife Tour from the Gold Coast or Brisbane

20 Reviews

4 hours to 14 hours

Overview

This is a private rainforest tour where you can shape the day around the sights and walks that interest you most. Options include waterfall walks, lookouts, koala spotting, glow worms, and seeing wild kangaroos in their natural habitat. Your guide takes you through parts of the World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforests, with commentary along the way and photography included. It is a more personalised option than a standard set itinerary, and the price reflects that.

Free cancellation

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Why backpackers love it

If you are travelling with a few mates, the private format gives you flexibility that group tours usually do not. You can focus on the parts you actually care about, whether that is wildlife, waterfall walks or photo stops, without being locked into a rigid route. The included guide commentary, taxes and photography also make the day easier to plan. It is not the cheapest option, but it suits travellers who want a customised nature day without organising transport and stops themselves.

What to expect

The day can run anywhere from 4 to 14 hours depending on the tour you choose and how much walking you want to do. You might visit scenic lookouts, walk behind or to the base of waterfalls, or keep things lighter with shorter walks. Wildlife opportunities can include looking for koalas and walking among wild kangaroos. Lunch may be arranged at the top or bottom of a waterfall, although it is not included for tours starting at or after 4pm unless requested. Pickup is available door to door from the Gold Coast, with Brisbane available on request.
