Such a great day. A huge THANKYOU to Barry, our guide for the day. So knowledgeable & such a great guy. He took so much care & just wanted the group to enjoy the day together. The views & scenery were incredible & Barry made sure he took us to all the right places. Thank you & I’d recommend this tour in a heartbeat.

Indescribable, whole different world. Was so peaceful and cool from the heaty weather.
We had enough time to do small walks in the park, didn’t feel too rushed
Overview of springbrook...
Terry_S, July 2023
Overview of springbrook more suitable for people who seek an overview of the area. No hiking,short walks.
Barry was a great driver and guide
This is not a good trip....
HONGDI_Y, June 2023
This is not a good trip. They picked us up and dropped us off at these places, and we did not get enough time to go around. They did not give us any information about these places. The tour guide is no more than a bus driver.
Not worth of money at all
qfcmmm9d6c, June 2023
1 Waterfall experience was good. Other than that full waste of money for me. Good for the ones who loves Forestwalk. This is more of rainforest walk.
Response from Host, June 2023
Ummmmmmm. I am not too sure how to reply. Maybe read the tour content as that is the tour that you booked. A Rainforest tour with short leisurely walks. We have been operating this tour for 24 years now and it is our biggest seller and most popular!
This is the worst...
Joyce_Z, Apr 2023
This is the worst experience we had at Gold Coast so far. I would definitely not recommend unless you want to spend $130 to be a one-day college student of Botany with a harsh and bossy professor.
Most of the time is spent on bus. For a 9-hour trip while we only had two 15-min tours in the morning and a 45-min tour in the afternoon (there was a 2-hour lunch session which was another chance to walk)
The guide Sonya was a botanist professor before. Honestly I think as a tour guide she just need to be nicer and treat us more like customers rather than her students. She basically spent all the time introducing the plants. Her attitude to me and my parents for some reason was especially harsh. An example happened half way during the 2-hour lunch session goes like this:
Me : Is it possible that we wrap up the lunch earlier so that we can finish the trip earlier? (She mentioned a few times in the morning that we were running behind the time)
The guide: No we are leaving at 2.
Another lady from the group: Do you guys have any plan after this?
Me: We just feel not much to do now.
The guide: Everyone has gone for a walk except for you guys. (We only had 7 ppl in this group so technically over half of ppl were still there)
Me: But we are carrying a lot of stuff (we were told it’s a lunch session so we brought all the food and water with us)
The guide: Just put your plastic bags next to the bus. No one is gonna steal your plastic bags.
I felt she could be just a bit nicer and she could offer to let us put our stuff on the bus etc. (we were literally 50m away from where the bus parked)
I also noticed she has been quite nice to other people in the group. We were supposed to leave the lunch spot at 2 but a girl was like 30 mins late. And the guide was like no worries dear all good hope you have had a good walk. Even my parents who don’t understand English felt she was not nice in particular to us.
Great experience

Everything was first rate. The park was beautiful and our guide Sonya was extremely knowledgeable and funny. I would highly recommend!
Review: Full-day Springbrook National Park Tour from the Gold Coast
Daniel_H, Feb 2023
I really enjoyed the tour, mostly because of our group's wonderful guides, Sonia and Elisa (I apologize for spelling or naming mistakes). They did a great job of keeping the group distracted and entertained during long car rides and were flexible, which allowed us to make stops we might not have normally made.
I think I would have preferred a bit more adventure on the trip or a slightly higher intensity of activity. I don't see that as an intrinsic issue with the tour, more an issue with the specific tour I chose to go on. The one improvement I'd recommend is that the tour company publish a more detailed itinerary. This is minor and didn't interfere with my overall experience.
This tour was great!
Michelle_C, Feb 2023
Sonia and Elise were wonderful leaders of the tour. It lasted all day but in the times we weren't walking through gorgeous rainforests, we were educated on different rainforest environments, plants, animals, and conservation efforts. They know their stuff. Hotel pickup and drop-off was greatly appreciated. Would do again.
Nice break from the beach
JKG, Jan 2023
This was a nice day of sightseeing but not quite the thrill we were hoping for. That said, there were some really beautiful vistas, a couple sightings of wildlife, a few pretty but not “wow” waterfalls - the best was a waterfall over the natural archway. Fran our tour guide was great, very fun. We had a very good lunch (toasties, scones) at a small cafe (extra cost). It was a nice break from the beach.
Time to see the other side of Gold Coast
Milad_G, Dec 2022
Well-experienced, punctual tour guide
Beautiful scenery of the falls and the road to Springbrook itself
