Overview

Step away from the crowds and immerse yourself in a secluded rainforest on this peaceful, small-group nature tour. Tailored for travelers who value meaningful engagement with nature, this experience offers exclusive access to a hidden area of the hinterland rarely visited by the public.

Our morning is dedicated to exploring Bellthorpe Stays, a private property usually not open to the public. Strolling at an unhurried pace along rainforest trails, we pass towering trees, massive buttress roots, twisting vines, and ancient ferns. This thriving environment supports a rich array of birdlife, offering opportunities for discovery for both casual observers and enthusiastic birdwatchers.

In the afternoon, we visit Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve, where a short rainforest walk offers a different perspective of this ancient ecosystem.

Normally, day visitors are not permitted, but Brisbane Nature Tours has secured private access for you to enjoy the property for the morning.We will walk the Rainforest Track with its strangler figs, tall buttress trees, vines, and tree ferns. The birdlife is abundant at Bellthorpe Stays.
