We enjoyed our trip from Brisbane to the glow worms. Our tour guide Michael did a great job keeping us engaged. Unfortunately we did hit a lot of traffic, so it took much longer than expected and we missed the sunset. The views were still spectacular. We also had another unfortunate event, the cloud coverage came through as we got there, so we didn't get to use the telescope. The tour guide quickly offered us blankets to sit and relax looking over the hill and made our delicious meal while we relaxed. The walk to the glow worms and back was a great time. Michael was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour just based on the glow worm trek through the dark. If I could give advice, it would be to be prepared for cooler weather on the mountain, and book this tour on a clear day if you have that ability.

very passionate and excellent guide. I’m not sure how much cost would it take out from the payment , if it’s not too bad , maybe can consider start the trip earlier.

It is a very worthwhile trip. The tour guide explains carefully and kindly. Although you have to get up very early, it is very convenient to have a driver to pick you up at the hotel. It takes about an hour to go up the mountain. On the way, you will stop in a small town to use the toilet. The weather is basically good. It’s not too cold and the wind is not strong. The hot air from the hot air balloon can even make people feel very hot. It’s very enjoyable to watch the sunrise and the beautiful scenery in the air. The pilot will tell you when he sees a kangaroo or a cow. If the weather is good, you can even fly. For more than an hour, the tour guide will take photos for each group of guests to commemorate. There will also be an aerial camera to help you take photos during the flight. The photos will soon be sent to your mailbox for you to download. It is very fulfilling to help collect the hot air balloon after the flight, and you will also be awarded certificate, and then go down the mountain to take you to the Star Hotel for a buffet breakfast. The trip ends around ten o'clock, it's perfect👍🏻👍🏻Recommended

I saw so many blue light bugs in November!! It was a bit rainy that day, and the tour guide provided shoe covers and raincoats, so my shoes were kept clean throughout the entire trip. Along the way, we introduced various plants, Australian turkey nests, glowing mushrooms and blue light bugs. We also saw super giant earthworms, which gave us a better understanding of Australian ecology. Unfortunately, there were not many stars at the last stargazing station, but there was a bonus at the end of the trip. Desserts and juice!

This is an itinerary suitable for travelers who love nature. The tour guide Jamie loves the rainforest very much and has profound knowledge. Please note that you need to use a red flashlight to walk some distance at night. There are up and down stairs. The elderly and those with poor night vision should be careful.
