What to expect
Start early and travel by private vehicle into Springbrook, where paths lead behind thundering water and through dense rainforest. You'll encounter kangaroos moving freely across open ground and listen for koalas in the canopy—this is working bushland, not an enclosure. Swimming gear optional; waterfall pools range from shallow to deeper. Midway through, gather for a cooked meal served near a falls. Terrain includes steps and gentle inclines, but guides pace the group so you can rest when needed. The forest canopy shifts from warm subtropical growth to cooler highland varieties as you move between sites.
