Excursion Mount tamborine experience tour at Brisbane

Leave the city behind and spend a full day exploring the greener side of Australia, accompanied by expert guides. Discover waterfalls cascading into mountain streams, thick green rainforests alive with native birds and the rugged off-road hillside trails on Tamborine Mountain. Your 4WD vehicle will be waiting at the pier and soon you will be on your way to the Gold Coast Hinterland and Tamborine Mountain to embark on an off-road adventure following an original bush track built by pioneers.

Sighting of kangaroos in the Tamborine area is common and not to forget the koala who are often seen sleeping the day away in a gum tree beside one of the rough bush tracks. Our experienced guides will guide you through Joalah, Tamborine National Park to the Waterfall below and explain the uniqueness of the Rainforests and Eucalyptus forests that make up the Tamborine Plateau. The timetable allows for frequent stops to take in the sweeping views and leisurely walks through the forests.

In addition to this you will see a whip cracking display and then get the chance to try it yourself. Don't think you're going to get out of the Boomerang throwing! You will be given a lesson on how to throw and define the difference between a boomerang and a stick.

Scones fresh from the oven for morning tea, will satisfy the heartiest appetite followed by a BBQ lunch with the choice of Marinated Beef Steaks, Marinated Chicken, Fresh fish or vegetarian meals together with a variety of salads. A Beer, Wine or Soft drink is served whilst enjoying a home cooked BBQ. The lunch venue (400 acre private property) is exclusive to the group, this guarantees a personal and private tour away from crowds. On a hot summer's day, the nearby cool waters and rock pools provide a welcome opportunity for a refreshing swim so you may want to bring along a swimsuit. Your afternoon program also includes a visit to a local winery for a formal tasting of fine Australian wines before heading back to the ship. Arriving back in Brisbane, you will be given a brief city sights tour (time permitting) before being returned to the ship.
