About this tour
An 8-hour guided day trip combining a walk through the Tamborine Mountain Rainforest Skywalk with afternoon hop-on hop-off bus exploration of the mountain. You're collected from Gold Coast or Brisbane hotels, spend the morning on an elevated rainforest canopy walk, then have the afternoon free to visit waterfalls, viewpoints, and distilleries at your own pace. Suits active day-trippers who want structure in the morning and flexibility after.

What to expect
You'll be picked up from your Gold Coast or Brisbane hotel in a minibus and driven to Tamborine Mountain. The morning focuses on the Rainforest Skywalk — a canopy walk that takes you high above the forest floor. You'll move at a steady pace through the treetops with your guide.
After the Skywalk, you board the hop-on hop-off bus service. For the rest of the afternoon, you control your own itinerary: hop off at waterfalls for short walks, stop at viewpoints, visit distilleries for tastings, or explore other sites on the mountain at leisure. You then return to the hop-on hop-off hub for your drive back to your hotel.

Good to know
This suits active sightseers who want the security of a guided morning activity plus afternoon freedom to move at their own pace. You need moderate fitness — the Skywalk involves sustained walking on an elevated platform, and afternoon exploration may include walking to waterfalls or up to lookouts. It's not suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have poor cardiovascular health. The Skywalk is not recommended for these groups due to the physical demands and height exposure. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. The 8 hours starts from hotel pickup, so total time includes transport. Peak times aren't specified; book early if travelling during school holidays. Entrance to the Skywalk is included; meals and afternoon activities like gin tastings are at your own cost.
