Truly unforgettable! This is a must-do trip if you love nature. We saw all sorts of night wildlife and the glow worms left us speechless! Tania’s passion for nature is obvious and she is incredibly knowledgable- she made the tour so much more entertaining and informative.

I did this tour and honestly loved it. The rainforest at night is so calming, and the glow worms feel almost magical. What really made the experience even better was Tania. She was such a great guide,very engaging, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the forest. You could tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it made the whole tour feel more special. If you’re after a peaceful, unique experience on the Gold Coast, this one’s definitely worth it!

Fun experience! Our tour guide was Amber and I am still cracking up at some of her jokes. She was engaging, knowledgeable and kept things light. Learnt a lot about the rainforest and glow worms were cool. A unique evening spent well. There was no pick up from hotel though it was advertised as such. In any case, it was a 15 min walk so definitely do-able. Thanks!

Everything was nice - From the pickup, throughout the drive, the city view from the mountain, cheesecake, forest, animals, rain, and Glow warms. Tanya was the sweetest and greatest tour guide I have ever seen. She has an abundance of knowledge about Australian history and every phenomenon that's happening in the forest. I still wonder how she was able to point the animals in such dark. She made the tour more memorable. It rained halfway through our tour. Although they provided an umbrella I didn't take one. Strom in the middle of the forest with glow warms and water fall around you. It's a once in a lifetime experience. If you love nature, you should definitely try this tour.

Tania was a great Tour guide! She was passionate and knowledgeable and so observant. We start the day with a 45 min drive to the Manor for a drink and dessert, followed by a 1.5 hour walk in the rainforest with the glow worms and other lovely animals. The pace of the tour was good, and the weather was pleasant. It would be suitable for all ages though the uneven terrain might be challenging for elderly or young children. The walk is quiet and peaceful. We loved it. We got lucky and managed to see some eels as well! Many animals blend in so well at night, so Tania was amazing at pointing them out to us. We did see quite a few spiders and snails, so if you're someone who's deathly afraid of spiders this might be hard for you. Honestly didn't think that it would look as good as it did in the promotion photos but it did! The glow worms were out at full force. We rounded off the day with some stargazing, and of course it was beautiful as well. The tour was about 3.5 hours long in total, with a good spread of activities. Ultimately I think good weather is the key for this, because it's so dry and cloudy, it was amazing and make the whole experience better. But regardless I would say the tour is well planned and one of the best ones I've been on.

The tour was very exciting and well organised. Our tour leader, Tania, had extensive knowledge of the different animal and plant species in the forest, in addition to her friendly and kind manner. Thanks.

This was a fascinating experience that took my teenagers and I outside of our comfort zones but opened our eyes to the magic of glow worms. Tania was an amazing guide, ensuring our comfort and safety throughout.

We visited from Sydney and were keen to see the Gold Coast rainforest and glow worms at night. Orion was a knowledgeable, friendly, engaging tour guide who did his best to make the tour enjoyable. We were picked up from our hotel and first stop was a hot drink and delicious cake at Mt Tambourine, followed by a rainforest night walk with torches. The kids (6 and 10) loved it. Highly recommend for families.
