“Loved guide and zip lining, boat tour, and other stops. But Swimming in river was least favorite as you just kind of wade in and don’t really do anything. Could have left that out and wouldn’t have missed much.”

4.Tamborine Mountain Canyon Flyer Zipline Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 24 reviews · 3 hours · from $95

At Thunderbird Park, two English-speaking guides lead you through eight ziplines above Tamborine Mountain’s rainforest. Expect a scenic ride, safety briefing, two plank bridges, speeds up to 70 km/h, and one 300-meter line. Guides including Blair, Eden, and Decko have been praised for clear, entertaining instruction.

“Ziplines were amazing! The swing bridges were too wobbly and not something that I had/would signed up for! I did them but probably if I had known beforehand I would’ve canceled. So many people who would be fine with the zipline might not do it The guides were great! Super fun day”
