The tour is a little expensive for what is included, but the hike was wonderful and the nature sightings were so cool. We saw many frogs, crickets, and spiders on our way to the glow worms. The glow worms themselves were incredible. The tour was very informational and I came away having learned a lot about the Gold Coast’s history, flora, and fauna. This tour is a great way to spend an evening on the Gold Coast and to see a different part of the region.

We had a totally brilliant private day trip with Bill. Completely amazing! Visited Lanington Natiinal Park, O'Reillys tree top walk and then lunch and wine at the Vineyard. We managed to see loads of wildlife, especially kangaroos! Bill is a great driver and really interestung and well informed.

Matt was our guide and he was very informative and happy to answer any questions we had. Thank you Matt! Worth mentioning, if you have any walking type issues, this walking tour may mot be for you.

Very good experience, our guide was very knowledgeable and careful to our needs. The landscape and the birds are worth it !

Great experience! Our guide was Jaime and he was exceptional! He’s super friendly and so down-to-earth. The whole day went smoothly from start to finish. Jaime was very considerate and knowledgeable. He allowed us to proceed at our pace so that we could truly take in and appreciate our surroundings. In addition to the beautiful natural surroundings on Tamborine Mountain and the rainforest, we were able to gain insights on the people and culture of Australia. This tour gave us a better appreciation for the Good Coast area as a whole.

Amazing all-around tour from David at Southern Cross Tours! He was so informative about the area and history of the Gold Coast and the Hinterlands. Highly recommend this tour!

Great experience, Jamie was a fantastic guide, knows a lot of interesting things and is very kind. We saw heaps of kangaroos, and we were so lucky to see more than one koala.

The tour was excellent with our very knowledgeable guide Daniel. He took the time to talk to us and tailored the tour to our specific interests. His local knowledge meant he stopped at lookout spots others don’t know and we got some fantastic photos. We were particularly lucky to be one of two couples on the tour so it felt very intimate and happily we all got along. The coffee plantation is very interesting, the winery and lunch excellent and the two distilleries we visited were great.

Thoroughly enjoyable day ... even a few rainclouds & mistiness couldn't detract from the beautiful scenery! Such a fascinating and historical area of Qld. Mark was a most personable guide, able to provide a huge amount of relevant information. He obviously enjoys his work with Southern Cross, and certainly looked after every traveller on our tour with care and concern (& the morning tea muffins were great, too 😀). We'll definitely have to return some time in the future for another tour.

Duffy was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable. It was a great family trip. The little cafe we stopped at was very sweet, welcoming and the cakes were yummy. We saw lots of wildlife (spiders, lizards, eels, learning about the plants) the highlight for us was seeing the glowworms. The children were very welcomed on this tour and all their questions were answered. Very informative tour and we would highly recommend it to anyone.

Found the whole experience very disappointing . Even more surprised TripAdvisor links its name to this tour.Would not recommend this tour

Really nice evening. It was good to get away from the bright lights of Surfers and spend the time in the forest. Alex was a great and informative host. I was a big fan of his music taste for the trip there and back.

Let them know ahead of time that we ran into unexpected traffic and if we could move the reservation to the next evening. No answer - so we continued to the venue, arriving 10 mins late and they advised the bus left and they couldn’t accommodate any changes/rescehule.

We had an amazing experience with Alex. He is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. We highly recommend this tour. Thanks for making this day memorable.

Saw loads of wildlife including various frogs, bats, spiders, geckos, and even an eel and giant earthworm. Was a great night for the glowworms, saw loads. Tour guide Adam was great and so was the cake!
