What makes Atherton Tablelands, Waterfalls and Rainforest Tour from Cairns a unique experience ?
A full day tour for the young and the young at heart! Swim and explore the numerous stunning waterfalls of the Atherton Tablelands including morning and afternoon tea and lunch.
Our first stop for the day is Babinda Boulders, this is a very well-known location as it is a significant place for the local indigenous people. During the 45 minutes here we will show you around the amazing site and tell you the history and legends of the boulders – there are a few spooky stories! This is considered one of Cairns’ must visit spots especially during times of heavy rain the strength of the water passing through the boulders has to be seen to be believed!
Next stop (and our first swimming spot!) is Josephine Falls! A short walk on an even pathway will bring you through the rainforest to the crystal clear waters and natural rock slide of the falls! Slip and slide down, cool off in the blue water or take advantage of the stunning scenery and take a few photos.
Next we will head up the Palmerston Highway onto the Atherton Tablelands to the most photographed waterfall in Australia! Millaa Millaa Falls are known worldwide for it’s inclusion in the Herbal Essences and Qantas adverts. Here is the place to try the iconic hair flick or get a natural massage from the water cascading over the falls. World Famous and a must see on the Tablelands!
A well earned rest is coming up next, with lunch at Top Rail. Lunch is included but you can also purchase additional drinks if you like and take a break from the swimming.
See this magnificent Strangler Fig Tree and perhaps be lucky enough to see the eluisive Lumholtz Tree Kangaroo
Our last swim for the day is at Lake Eacham. Lake Eacham is a beautiful volcanic Crater Lake. Deep blue waters will certainly tempt you in for one last swim. Spot turtles in the shallows or just lay back and enjoy the last golden sunlight of the day. Your Guide will also serve afternoon tea here before starting the trip back down the Gillies Range to Cairns.
