About this tour
Our Rainforest Day Tour is a small-group day trip from Surfers Paradise into Springbrook National Park, part of the World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforests of Australia. It's made for backpackers, solo travellers and anyone keen on a waterfall hike. You'll swim under Twin Falls, walk to Purling Brook Falls, stand on the rim of an ancient volcano at the Best of All Lookout, and explore Natural Bridge, where a waterfall pours through the roof of a cave. We pick you up at 8am and drop you back in Surfers at 4:30pm, with a café stop on the way up and a lunch stop.

We did this trip as a group of us! It was amazing, Pat who was our tour leader was incredible, super friendly & we learnt a lot! Visiting the cattle farm was incredible! Lots of friendly cows & we got to go in the creek with inflatables & play volleyball 🙂 Ended the day with a lovely pub trip & a pint! I would totally recommend this tour to anybody who is looking at doing this!
