The tour operator was great but Tamborine Mountain was a little disappointing the Glow worms caves was a cave (man made) and was a little boring lasted 30 mins. The Skywalk is an additional $20. We went to Curtis Waterfall which was short but nice. The Gallery Walk is nice if you like Fudge and scented candles and the Monkey Tree pub was a spoiler as the staff there were so rude nearly spoilt the whole day. Pineapple Tours was good hence the 5 star otherwise I'd of given it 3 stars.

5 out of 5 stars

We thoroughly enjoyed the whole tour. Seeing the glow worms was something we have never experienced before and we learnt a lot about them. The general hop-on-hop-off tour was also brilliant. Michelle was our main driver and she was lovely and told us lots about the areas we were passing through. The skywalk in the rainforest was brilliant and also seeing the waterfall was fab. We loved it all

5 out of 5 stars

We loved the whole day. James the guide was brilliant, stopping to point out wonderful animals we’d all have walked past, and keeping up an amusing and informative commentary between stops. He is knowledgeable about his country, and proud of it too. Too many highlights to list but this trip was worth every penny.

5 out of 5 stars

The best way to experience the area, got to do so many things and loved the freedom of being able to explore the mountain. Glow worms were surreal, beyond what I imagined
