Walk beneath the rainforest canopy at night

Once at Mt Tamborine, step into the cool night air and follow your guide on well-maintained but uneven trails. This region is rich with native flora and fauna, and your guide will help you spot wildlife such as possums, lyrebirds, microbats and brush-turkeys along the forest paths.

Marvel at Curtis Falls under the stars

Witness wild glow worms in their habitat

Your guide will take you to a rocky, fern-draped wall where glow worms illuminate the night with their bioluminescence. Learn about their unique lifecycle, conservation, and how local efforts are protecting these rare invertebrates for future generations.
