GLOW WORM CAVES
One of the many hidden treasures of the Tamborine Mountain area is the glow worm caves, located in the Cedar Creek Estate only an hour away from Surfers Paradise. The caves consist of two large chambers interlinked by tunnels with realistic formations such as stalagmites and stalactites, water features and flow stone.
