Nocturnal Evening Rainforest & Glow Worm Tour from Gold Coast

This guided evening tour takes you into the Australian rainforest after dark to witness nocturnal wildlife and thousands of glow worms creating their own natural light show. You'll walk through shaded trails beside flowing streams on Mount Tamborine, visit Curtis Falls under starlight, and explore natural caves where glow worms illuminate the darkness with their twinkling display.

Your expert guide leads you through the forest ecosystem, explaining the unique biology of glow worms and pointing out native wildlife like possums and nocturnal birds. The tour includes a stop at Curtis Falls, where the waterfall takes on a mystical appearance at night without the daytime crowds. After your rainforest exploration, you'll enjoy complimentary coffee and dessert cake at a local restaurant before returning to your Gold Coast accommodation.

Good to Know

The entire experience lasts approximately 3 hours 30 minutes including transfers from your Gold Coast accommodation. The tour is family friendly, though children must be supervised at all times during the night walk. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a jacket as temperatures drop in the evening.

You'll travel in a small group to ensure personal attention from your guide and plenty of opportunities for questions and photos. The relaxed pace allows you to fully appreciate the night sounds and atmosphere of the rainforest while learning about this unique ecosystem.

If you're exploring more of the Gold Coast region during your stay, consider combining this nocturnal adventure with Springbrook National Park day tours to experience the hinterland's natural beauty during daylight hours.
