Tips

July 4, 2026

Rainforest Circuit winds through one of the few remaining pockets of coastal rainforest on the Gold Coast, passing towering strangler figs, hoop pines, and other subtropical vegetation before climbing to Tumgun Lookout. Although most of the walk is relatively easy, there is a short, steep section near the lookout, where you’ll find a lovely bench with sweeping views over Burleigh Head, the coastline, and the Pacific Ocean. It's a peaceful contrast to the busy areas along the adjacent coastline and a great path to explore the diverse vegetation that makes Burleigh Head National Park unique.
