The tour is designed for travelers who prefer minimal walking but still want to experience nature and scenery. It offers a comfortable, rewarding way to explore the region.
After pick-up, we travel up Mount Glorious into D’Aguilar National Park, where the landscape quickly transforms into cool, lush subtropical rainforest. Along the way, we stop at scenic lookouts, including the Western Window and Wivenhoe Outlook. These spots offer sweeping views across forested valleys and towards Lake Wivenhoe.
Leaving the rainforest, the scenery gradually opens up into rolling farmland and quiet rural landscapes. This contrast between dense forest and wide-open spaces shows the diversity of South East Queensland’s hinterland.
We continue to Somerset Dam for a relaxed tea break by the water. With expansive views across the dam and surrounding hills, this is a peaceful place to rest and enjoy the surroundings.
In the afternoon, we travel via Kilcoy to Mount Archer. There, we can visit Ocean View Estates for lunch and wine tasting. Set among rolling hills, this boutique winery offers a relaxed atmosphere and beautiful views. It makes a memorable stop for those who wish to participate.
The journey continues along quiet country roads towards Mount Mee. We pass through green hills, grazing cattle, and scattered old trees. At our final lookout, take in panoramic views across the landscape towards the iconic Glasshouse Mountains.
We return via the charming township of Dayboro, bringing the day to a close with a sense of calm and connection to the landscape. This tour is defined by comfort, variety, and carefully chosen viewpoints, offering a rich and rewarding experience without long walks.

Anita has superb knowledge of the area and access to locations that you can't normally get to. The tour was tailored around our restricted walking abilities and the recent weather, which made sure we could both had a lot to look at. Which included a lot of trees, birds, fungi, mist obscured mountains, pademelons, an informative visitor's centre and two dogs that were very disappointed that we weren't staying around longer.
I did the "Bellthorpe Rainforest Tour" and it was great to see all the wildlife which is quite different from anything in Europe. If I would have had more time during my stay in Brisbane, I would without hesitation booked another tour with her!
Thank you very much for the day out in the woods :-)
Coffee and cake, then a delicious lunch completed a thoroughly enjoyable and informative day.
Maiala Rainforest. She is knowledgeable and gives plenty of opportunities to appreciate such a beautiful place! Would book her again without a second thought.
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a day trip with Brisbane Nature Tours to Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island), and it was truly exceptional. Our guide Anita crafted an experience that perfectly balanced natural beauty, cultural education, and local cuisine.
The day began with a scenic ferry ride to the island, followed by our first stop at the studio of respected local Indigenous artist Delvene Cockatoo Collins. This thoughtful introduction to the island provided valuable context about the natural materials sourced from various locations and set the tone for a day of authentic experiences.
The highlights continued with the stunning Gorge Walk, where we were treated to breathtaking coastal views. One of the most magical moments was encountering kangaroos and koalas in their natural habitat - not in a zoo, but living freely in their home environment.
Brown Lake was another standout experience. Swimming in its tea tree-infused waters was both refreshing and therapeutic. Our lunch featured the local delicacy of Moreton Bay bugs, which was absolutely delicious and perfectly showcased the region's seafood.
What truly sets this tour apart is Anita's genuine passion for the region. Her deep knowledge and obvious connections with local communities ensured we were welcomed warmly wherever we went. She provided rich context about the destination that transformed what could have been just a pretty sightseeing trip into a meaningful cultural experience.
If you're looking for a day trip from Brisbane that offers natural beauty, wildlife encounters, and cultural insights, I cannot recommend Brisbane Nature Tours and Anita highly enough. This tour is the perfect way to experience the wonders of Minjerribah with a guide who truly cares about creating authentic and respectful experiences.
