Depart Brisbane and climb high above the surrounding coastal plain to the cool, quiet rainforests of Lamington Plateau. Visit Mount Tamborine with its spectacular panoramic views of the Gold Coast and glistening waters of the blue Pacific Ocean. Enjoy an opportunity for morning tea and a leisurely walk in the fresh mountain air. From here, head toward the 'Green Mountains' of O'Reilly's.
Along the way, enjoy a stop at the Gallery Walk Retail Precinct, where the Mount Tambourine Winery and Homestead is located. Treat your taste buds to a wine tasting of the region's blends (own expense) before rejoining your guide and continuing toward O'Reilly's.
After checking into O'Reilly's Rainforest Guesthouse, the rest of the afternoon is free to enjoy this natural wonderland. The Lamington National Park offers 160 kilometers of walking tracks to over 500 waterfalls and panoramic mountain lookouts. Experience temperate beech forest high on the border ranges, warm sub-tropical rainforest and dry eucalypt forest of the lower valleys. One of the most popular strolls is the Tree Top Walk, a series of nine suspension bridges which takes the visitor high into the rainforest canopy. Two observation decks, the highest 30 meters (100feet) above the ground, with commanding view of life in the tree tops.
In the evening, enjoy a rendezvous with the wildlife and take a walk to Glow Worm Gully, or spotlight around the Guesthouse. Finish off the day with an included dinner.
