About
This full-day small-group tour from Brisbane is perfect for travellers looking to experience the very best of Springbrook National Park in one unforgettable day. We’ll take you well beyond the usual stops and into the heart of the rainforest on a carefully planned route that combines lush walking trails, dramatic waterfalls and epic views.
The adventure begins with a rainforest hike to Purling Brook Falls, a spectacular 4.8 km circuit surrounded by dense forest and canyon views. From there, we continue to Blackfellows Falls where the waterfall plunges through a vertical rock face into the forest below.
After the morning’s hikes, we take a relaxed break for lunch at a local spot before diving into more rainforest magic on the Twin Falls Circuit, a 2.8 km walk that takes you past Twin Falls and Rainbow Falls, often with mist rising from the water and birds in the treetops.
The tour continues with a view of Bilbrough Falls from a nearby lookout, a delicate cascade surrounded by lush greenery.
To finish the day, we visit the famous Natural Bridge, a short walk through subtropical forest leading to a waterfall that crashes into a cave—an iconic photo spot and a peaceful end to a big day.
With over 9 km of walking, seven waterfalls, and a guide that ensures everyone is comfortable, this is a tour made for nature lovers who want to go beyond the surface and spend a full day truly exploring one of the Gold Coast’s most beautiful national parks.
