Overview

On our nocturnal walk into the rainforest to the base of a waterfall which we can walk behind, we will search for wildlife and other critters lurking in the wilderness. Ever heard of a Pademelon? Or a Tawny Frogmouth? Maybe we'll see one if we are lucky!

We'll definitely see lots of Glow Worms and learn some fun facts about them! Guaranteed Glow Worm Sighting! (Free return trip if none are seen).

This experience is designed to avoid other people and see as many new things as possible, most nights we wont see any other people near the Glow Worms at this secret spot.

If the sky is clear it is a beautiful spot to see the stars and the night sky or watching the sunrise over the Gold Coast from a beautiful viewpoint if you would prefer an early morning.
