Adventure - Feeling adventurous?

There are many adventurous activities to get involved in on Mount Tamborine - How about Hang Gliding to get your adrenalin flowing? At 1916ft/584m above sea level the views from Mt Tamborine are spectacular and the local Canungra Hang Gliding Club organise regular 'meets' for club members and visiting pilots. If you don't want to 'jump' yourself, but enjoy the spectacle of others chasing their adrenalin rush, then just sit back and relax and enjoy the wonderful and colourful scene of pilots taking off and gliding effortlessly through the air.

Or maybe test your agility and skills at Tamborine Mountain's own unique Adventure Parc, Australia's first. The 'Adventure Parc' is the largest ropes and adventure games course in our country, stretching through Thunderbird Park's ancient towering eucalypts commencing with a 7 metre high, 200 metre long rainforest aerial walkway. Added to this are 65 adventure games, 7 flying fox rides, Tarzan swinging ropes, suspended trapezes, single beams, double ropes, different types of bridges and much, much more. Phew! You are supplied with protective overalls, gloves and a harness, and experienced staff supervising your every move.

What about a hot air balloon ride taking in the amazing views of Tamborine Mountain from way up high. Try the produce as you follow one of the wine trails, and of course combine it all with an experience you've always wanted to try, a flight on a hot air balloon.

Rainforest Skywalk - For something really different

Take a stroll - The Tamborine Mountain Rainforest Skywalk in a setting of 30 private acres of magnificent rainforest alongside a kilometre of tumbling creek and rockpools offers visitors a unique 'walk' into the Mt Tamborine rainforest. Taking approximately one hour, visitors depart from the Rainforest Eco Gallery and begin the adventure on a spectacular elevated walkway through the beautiful middle and upper canopies of the rainforest. The walkway is a stable, high-tech steel structure enabling visitors to explore these canopies in a safe and secure way. It descends gradually to the lower canopy and follows points of interest including rockpools and waterfalls, a butterfly lookout, local history enclosure and sheltered rest areas along the way until reaching the amazing Cantilever. This is a 40 metre long span soaring 30 metres above the valley, with spectacular views over the creek and the rainforest canopies below.
