Had a great time on the tour. Our tour guide was really friendly and helpful. She gave us a lot of interesting information about the place and extra information about gold Coast which was fun to know. Our tour guide Chriss was really encouraging and enthusiastic about the tour and it motivated us. We encountered various small animals and saw the glow worms during the tour. Over all it was a great experience and I highly recommend it to everyone. Cheers

Great change of pace from the typical night life. Amazing experience being surrounded by the sounds of the rainforest and wildlife. The glowworms are really magical. Our guide Alex had great knowledge and insight of the area, and made it feel very safe but still fun. I highly recommend if you're looking for more of a wind down evening that's still fun.

This is definitely a tour you should include into your itinerary if you are into nature walks and see no cool bioluminescent wildlife. Daniel was a great guide taking us through the rainforest and providing excellent explanations of the flora and fauna we encountered. Additionally cheesecake I had at The Manor was delicious!

It was very interesting to see the Rainforest at night. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kept us informed with what we were seeing and how it got there as well as some history on the vegetation. Unfortunately not as many glow worms as we expected. It was fun.
