Thanks, Richi & Curly, for your great company today. It was a very joyful day. Enjoy the rest of your stay in Down Under.

A great walk in the woods and more!

We wound up with a private tour, just the two of us and our knowledgeable and pleasant guide, Anita. She took us on a great walk in the woods, seeing various birds and a pademelon or two, as well as interesting plant life. She clearly knows a lot about the flora and fauna of the region. That walk included a waterfall viewing and two other overlooks. She also prepared a picnic snack, with brewed coffee and tea, and fruit and cookies (Tim Tams 🙂). We had a wonderful time.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thanks so much for your kind review. You were a lovely couple to have with me on the day for the muddy adventure ;)

Amazing experience!

Anita was highly professional, very knowledgeable and informative. She took us to an amazing place where nature is mostly untouched and gave us a wonderful experience.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thanks Natalia for your kind review.

Rain forest too wet, but a memorable flock of cormorants

Martin_L, Oct 2024
Anita was a great guide - very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. Unfortunately, the weather was too wet to make the planned walk enjoyable, but Anita devised an alternative whereby we saw what we could of the rain forest from the road, with stops to see viewpoints, plus we saw more of the surrounding bush country. The highlight was seeing a murmuration of hundreds of cormorants take off from a reservoir.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thanks, Martin, for your kind review. I am glad the day turned out well, and we could see a lot of different habitats all in one day.

A wonderful experience given by a very knowledgeable guide

Matt_B, Nov 2023
My wife and I did a three week tour of Australia where we had a free day in Brisbane. We were lucky that the Malala Rainforest Tour was available on that day. It turned out to be one of our favorite excursions of the trip. It was apparent from the start how much passion that Anita has for nature and sharing her knowledge of the outdoors. She pointed out many details about the plants and the life of the rainforest that if we would have missed if we were on our own. She was also very accommodating by picking us up around the corner from our hotel rather than from the list of pickup points listed on Viator's web site. After the tour on the drive back to the hotel, Anita was open to sharing here experiences living in Australia. Note that as the web site states that lunch is not included, we did make a pit stop before the rainforest for a bathroom break where you can also purchase items for a later lunch. All in all it was a wonderful experience.

Beautiful Rainforest!
