Gold Coast Rainforest Adventures
The rainforests inland from the Gold Coast are a lush escape from daily life, inviting you back to mindfulness in nature.
The diverse environments of Springbrook, Lamington, Mt Barney, and Main Range National Parks provide a home for a range of rare plant and animal species. Ground-dwelling birds, such as the Albert’s Lyrebird and the endangered Eastern Bristlebird, found their haven in the sub-tropical rainforests in Lamington and Main Range national parks. The environment of the wet sclerophyll forests of Mount Barney National Park is critical for the survival of the Plumed Frogmouth. Hike up mountains, swim under waterfalls, trek along walking tracks, and discover unique wildlife in the Gondwana Rainforests.
Drive 45 minutes from the bustle of the Gold Coast and find yourself amongst the dense greenery of Mount Tambourine. There are nine walking tracks through the mountains’ national parks and each one leads to picture-perfect destinations.
For a rainforest walking experience beyond compare, head to the treetops for the Tambourine Rainforest Skywalk. The steel-structured Skywalk Bridge stretches for 1.5 kilometres through the lush rainforest of Mount Tambourine. Walk above the rainforest and peer down at the diverse fauna and flora before descending to the lower canopy to the rock pools and the butterfly lookout point.
For our adrenaline seekers, challenge yourself to the ultimate treetop adventure and visit Australia’s largest Tree Adventure Park, TreeTop Challenge at Mount Tambourine. There are more than 120 challenges and obstacles hanging from the trees of the Tambourine Rainforest, spread over six courses across nine acres. Kids, adults, adventurers, hikers, climbers, and nature lovers will love this experience!
