It was really unique to experience the rain forest at night! Not to mention our guide was insightful and kind. Definitely worth checking out.
Thank you so much Davis for your kind words! The guide will be so touched to hear it and know they were able to create such a magical experience for you all :)
The roads are very narrow and windy. Caution if you get car sick. Beautiful scenery. Excellent snacks. Lunch at O’Reily’s was delicious. The smaller group works so much better. Our driver was excellent. He was a wealth of information.
Thank you for this wonderful review! Our drivers are all so passionate about their tours, its hard to not have a great time! :)
Such a fun day! Matt did a fantastic job sharing stories about the Gold Coast, and where we were headed for the day. I never felt rushed in each of the spots we stopped at. I enjoyed the trip tremendously! My favorite part was the rain forest, the birds, and visiting the winery:

Lamington National Park is a beautiful place to explore, with stunning rainforest scenery and plenty of wildlife to see. Our guide, Jamie, made the experience even better — he was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful throughout the tour. He shared interesting information about the park and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included. Highly recommend visiting Lamington National Park, especially with such a great guide! 🌿
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Jamie will be so touched to hear it and know he was able to make such a magical experience for everyone :)
Jamie was an absolute delight as a guide. He was so knowledgeable on the local flora and fauna of Lamington National Park. He was very friendly and patient for when we stopped to take photos or explore. This could be suited for both novice outdoors people as well as people looking for a little adventure with some of the views only accessible by ladder.
Unforgettable day at Lamington! The scenery is breathtaking, but the wild birds stealing the show was my favourite part, and the alpacas too.
Took the Lamington National Park, O'Reilly's & Vineyard Tour. Had a great experience with Andy today. He was very knowledgeable and made the drive fun. The tour passed by so quickly! Def recommend taking this tour. We had snacks at the Karuman lookout with great views of the valley, fed birds in the rainforest and stopped by a winery, which also has Alpacas you can feed and pet.
Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great time on the Lamington National Park, O’Reilly’s & Vineyard Tour.

It sounds like you really made the most of the stops — from the Karuman Lookout and rainforest bird feeding to the winery and alpacas!

The tour guide, Bill was superb. He was intelligent, informative and passionate about the area. He showed us Lamington National Park and seemed to enjoy his time. He answered all the questions and would recommend to anyone.
Thank you for the wonderful review! Bill loves what he does so deeply and it shows in the quality of his tour. Everyday he goes to the place he loves and shares that experience with people who've never seen anything like it before. He's right where he belongs and reviews like this just make him all the more enthusiastic. Cheers, Southern Cross Tours
