Enjoy a full day on Tamborine Mountain with rainforest views from both the forest floor and above the canopy. This flexible tour from the Gold Coast includes return coach transfers, unlimited hop on hop off access on the mountain and pre-booked entry to the Rainforest Skywalk.

Your day starts with the Gold Coast shuttle, departing from convenient pickup points and travelling into the hinterland. On arrival at Tamborine Mountain, you’ll transfer to the Hop On Hop Off Mountain Loop, which operates throughout the day between participating wineries, breweries, distilleries, cafés, Gallery Walk and key attractions.

You’re free to design your own itinerary. Hop off for tastings at local wineries and breweries, relax over lunch at a café, browse art and gift shops along Gallery Walk, or visit short walks and lookouts for sweeping views across the Scenic Rim and Gold Coast hinterland. At your allocated time, you’ll visit the Rainforest Skywalk, where elevated steel walkways and forest trails lead you through lush rainforest with interpretive signage and beautiful scenery.

After your Skywalk experience, you can continue using the hop on hop off service to explore more of Tamborine Mountain. In the afternoon, you’ll re-join the Gold Coast shuttle for a comfortable return to your original pickup area, finishing the day with fresh mountain air, rainforest memories and a relaxed taste of the hinterland – with your key attraction already included.
