The team was professional and made me feel completely safe and comfortable. The whole ride was smooth, and the landing was gentle.

Explore Springbrook and Mount Tamborine from Brisbane with a small group, Natural Bridge, glow worm caves, lunch, and the famous Skywalk.
“The Springbrook Bridge walk was very pleasant. There were some flying insects around so take some insect repellent. The glow worm video film was very informative but we found the glow worm cave itself a bit under whelming as it was not the glow worms natural habitat. The Skywalk was very good in a natural environment. Overall a well planned and full itinerary day out. The tour guide was very knowledgeable.”
