Tamborine Mountain - Hop On Hop Off + Rainforest Skywalk Entrance - from Gold Coast
Gold Coast and Tamborine Mountain
About This Tour
Enjoy a full day exploring Tamborine Mountain at your own pace, combining a scenic Gold Coast transfer, on-demand Hop On Hop Off access around the mountain, and pre-booked entry to the Rainforest Skywalk, all in one relaxed, flexible experience.
Your day begins with a comfortable morning transfer from the Gold Coast into the hinterland. On arrival at Tamborine Mountain, you’ll transition to our Hop On Hop Off Mountain Service, which operates on demand throughout the day — allowing you to move between participating wineries, breweries, distilleries, cafés, Gallery Walk and key attractions when it suits you.
There is no fixed timetable on the mountain. You choose where to stop, how long to stay, and when you’re ready to move on. The driver coordinates movements throughout the day based on guest locations, venue flow and conditions.
At your pre-booked time, you’ll visit the Rainforest Skywalk, where elevated steel walkways and forest trails take you through lush rainforest, offering views both above the canopy and down to the forest floor, supported by interpretive signage and scenic lookouts.
After your Skywalk experience, you can continue using the Hop On Hop Off service to explore more of Tamborine Mountain before re-joining the afternoon transfer back to the Gold Coast.
Most guests enjoy a relaxed visit to 3–4 venues across the day. While additional stops are possible with very short visits, this is not recommended for the best experience.
