Located on top of Tamborine Mountain at Cedar Creek Estate Vineyard and Winery, the site is located in a rehabilitated rainforest, the result of decades of replanting efforts.
During a tour, the biologists will lead you down through the rainforest boardwalk into the glow worm habitat.
Here you get the chance to meet a glow worm up close, and see their sticky strands and glowing bums!
Because the site is not a natural area, our glow worm sightings are guaranteed.
Don't forget to visit the frog exhibit!
