About this tour
Spend a full day spotting kangaroos and koalas roaming freely across protected bushland, then venture into Springbrook National Park to walk beneath cascading waterfalls and swim in rock pools. You'll traverse subtropical and temperate rainforest, visit two UNESCO heritage sites including the Natural Bridge, and finish with a homecooked meal served at a waterfall lookout. The 7–10 hour experience covers ground via private transport with a small group, making it ideal for those wanting wildlife encounters without the zoo setting.

What to expect
You'll start by spotting wild kangaroos and searching for koalas in a conserved natural reserve—not a captive facility. From there, you're driven to Springbrook National Park, where the real hiking begins. Expect to walk behind waterfalls, wade through rock pools, and climb steps or ramps to reach elevated lookouts. The rainforest changes as you gain altitude: subtropical warmth gives way to cooler temperate zones, with ancient Gondwana vegetation overhead. A home-prepared meal awaits at one of the falls. The full outing takes 7–10 hours with rest stops available whenever needed.
Good to know
Bring sturdy walking shoes and swimwear if you plan to swim. Dietary needs can be accommodated—tell your operator beforehand. Prams and specialised infant seats are available. Those with cardiovascular concerns should discuss fitness with the operator before booking. Public transport exists nearby if you need an alternative.
