Itinerary / Itinerary Description

Pickup & Departure from the Gold Coast

Your day begins with our Gold Coast Shuttle, which departs at 8:30 am and transfers you to Tamborine Mountain.

Once on the mountain, you’ll transfer to the local Hop On Hop Off Loop, which continuously runs between participating breweries, wineries, distilleries, cafés and attractions throughout the day.

Note: Guests booked on the Winery Tour will continue on their own separate guided tour after arrival. This is a distinct experience from the Hop On Hop Off circuit.

Hop On, Hop Off Freedom

Enjoy total flexibility. Hop off at any participating venue, explore at your own pace, then hop back on the next bus when you’re ready.

Glow Worm Caves

At your booked time, you will be dropped at the Glow Worm Caves for your included guided tour:

Short rainforest boardwalk to the cave entrance

Guided experience inside the purpose-built cave

See thousands of glow worms glowing overhead and learn about their lifecycle and conservation

After the tour, re join the Hop On Hop Off service to continue exploring Tamborine Mountain.

Rainforest Skywalk

At your allocated time, you will visit the Rainforest Skywalk for your second included experience:

Elevated steel walkways and forest trails through lush rainforest

Views into the canopy and down to the forest floor

Interpretive signage and displays explaining the local environment

After your Skywalk visit, rejoin the Hop On Hop Off service to continue your day on the mountain.

Choose Your Stops

You decide how many and which venues to visit. Want to stay longer at one location? No problem – just let your driver know and catch a later loop service.

Return to the Gold Coast

The return shuttle departs Tamborine Mountain at approximately 3:30 pm and arrives back at the Gold Coast at around 5:00 pm, dropping you at your original pickup area.

Times are approximate and may vary due to traffic and conditions.
