Curtis Falls

Reviewed By ChloeAnne26 - Brisbane, Australia

Great walk to do with the family as there is a short walk or a long fun adventure walk. We took 1 and a bit hours to do the lower creek circuit. Great adventure, best track I’ve done in mount Tamborine. I have done witches falls, the knoll, the one near thunderbird park and another one that is now closed. Would recommend this track over all of them :)

The Palm Grove Section of the Tamborine National Park

Reviewed By joniquelife - Australia, null

This is a beautiful little circuit up on Mount Tambourine. It is in such a lush and beautiful rainforest setting with some amazingly tall trees???? There are 2 seperate car parks and entrances into the circuit and then a couple of circuits stacked on top of the other so you can do a quick circuit or do them all back to back for about 4-5km of hiking. The path is pretty good with quite a few steps in areas but nothing to bad. “Jonique Life” Follow our journey around Australia on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube as we highlight wonderful experiences and magical places you can add to your ever growing bucket list.

Tamborine Mountain Glow Worm Caves

Welcome to the Tamborine Mountain Glow Worm Tours! During our tours you will experience the results of our ground-breaking conservation project, as we guide you through our spectacular purpose-built cave, filled with thousands of glowing Glow Worms! We offer the only opportunity in Queensland to see Glow Worms during the day, and over the course of 30 minutes, you’ll meet a Glow Worm up close and learn all about their life cycle and behaviour. Our cave features a colony of native Mt. Tamborine Glow Worms, and is part of a long-term breeding program, so your admission helps support and ensure the survival of the species in South East Queensland for future generations!

A heart-warming story in these times of species extinction and habitat loss due to land-clearing and global warming. At the Tamborine Mountain Glow Worm Caves, you can see glow worms up close while hearing all about their life cycle from an expert. It is very easy to access (no rough bush tracks or steps) on a good boardwalk through a small section of rainforest. Once inside the cave, there is a short video to help accustom eyes to the darkness then a short, flat walk into the inner cave to see the glow worms. After visiting the glow worm cave, be sure to check out the adjoining Frog Hollow which gives you the opportunity to see different species of frogs. A few steps here, but nothing onerous. Definitely a great educational experience and a wonderful opportunity to see a species that is declining in the wild.

Cedar Creek Falls

Reviewed By zpphie - Singapore, Singapore

A short 30 min return hike to a charming little waterfall and some rock pools. We did the hike with our 5 year old who had no trouble with it at all. At the end of the trail, where the falls is, there are some charming rock pools which you can swim in if you’re up for it.
