From A$270 for 2 people per person
Our Lamington National park and O’Reilly’s tour allows you to experience the highlights of the hinterland. This combo includes a tour for 2 people plus a bottle of O’Reilly’s Canungra Vineyard ‘Picnic Bubbles’ to take home! Your day begins with a relaxed drive through the Canungra Valley. We take a brief stop in Canungra where you can purchase a hot beverage. Light refreshments are offered before continuing our journey from the valley floor to the summit of World Heritage-listed Lamington National Park, part of the largest continuous, subtropical rainforest anywhere on earth. Upon arrival at O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat your guide will explain the O’Reilly’s amazing history including the Stinson plane crash. Experience a birds eye view on the tree top walk consisting of 9 suspension bridges 16 metres above ground. A special wildlife experience awaits once you return, grab your camera out and get a shot of the wild King Parrots or Crimson Rosellas feeding from your plate! Our next stop is Kamarun lookout which provides stunning 300-degree views, from the Gold Coast to Brisbane. When visiting the Scenic Rim, a stop at a vineyard is a must. O’Reilly’s own Canungra Valley Vineyard set beside a mountain stream gives you the chance to check out the vineyard, feed Alpacas and enjoy a glass of sparkling wine. Lunch options are available for purchase at either O’Reilly’s or Canungra Valley Vineyard. Remove the hassle of driving and experience the hinterland with the Gold Coast’s most experienced rainforest tour operator.

Walking distance: Approx 900m. Return is along the same track. The boardwalk includes an optional walk along O’Reilly’s Tree Top Walk, a series of nine suspension bridges (approx. 180metres long) positioned up to 16 metres above the rainforest floor. Guests can choose to skip the suspension bridge and remain on the main boardwalk, as the bridge section branches off and then reconnects further along the track.

In rare cases where the tour cannot proceed, an alternative date or refund will be offered in accordance with booking terms.
