Overview

Experience the natural wonders of Far North Queensland with this two-day adventure. Journey through the Atherton Tablelands Waterfalls, Daintree Rainforest, and Cape Tribulation, renowned for their breathtaking scenery and unique ecosystems.

On your first day, immerse yourself in the beauty of the Atherton Tablelands Waterfalls. Slide down natural rockslides and stand beneath stunning, free-falling waterfalls, embracing the heart of tropical Australia.

Your second day brings you deep into the legendary Daintree Rainforest, a national treasure. Participate in an Indigenous Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony, adding a meaningful cultural dimension to your experience.

Highlights also include exploring Mossman Gorge and enjoying a wildlife cruise along the Daintree River, offering insight into the region's diverse flora and fauna.

Commonly asked questions.

No. The two tours can be taken on separate days, making the package a flexible option for your Cairns holiday. The tours can also be taken in either order, subject to availability. If you have particular dates in mind, please contact us and we can help arrange the best combination.

Both tours operate from Cairns with coach transfers included. Pick-up arrangements and times can vary depending on your accommodation and the particular tour operating that day. Full pick-up details will be provided with your booking confirmation.

We recommend bringing swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, a hat, a water bottle, comfortable clothing and shoes, and a camera. A warm jacket is also recommended because temperatures can be noticeably cooler in the Atherton Tablelands.

Yes, swimming opportunities are available during the Waterfalls Tour, including at locations such as Babinda Boulders, Josephine Falls and Lake Eacham, subject to local conditions and any safety restrictions in place on the day. Swimming is optional, so you can still enjoy the tour if you prefer to stay dry.

No. You do not need to be a strong swimmer to participate in the tour. Swimming at the various waterholes is optional. If you do choose to enter the water, you should be comfortable with your own swimming ability and follow the instructions of your guide and any local safety signage.

Yes. Lunch is included on both days of the package. The Waterfalls Tour includes a buffet lunch, while lunch is also included on the Cape Tribulation and Daintree tour. Dietary requirements should be advised when booking.

Day two takes you north along the spectacular coastal road towards the Daintree. Highlights include Mossman Gorge, an Indigenous Welcome to Country experience, crossing the Daintree River, Cape Tribulation, a guided rainforest walk at Marrdja, Cape Tribulation Beach, Alexandra Range Lookout and a Daintree River wildlife cruise. There is also an opportunity to visit Port Douglas on the return journey.

The Daintree River wildlife cruise provides an opportunity to see crocodiles in their natural environment, along with other wildlife. Sightings are never guaranteed because these are wild animals, but the experienced cruise guides will look for crocodiles and explain the unique ecosystem of the Daintree River.

The tours are designed for most reasonably active travellers rather than serious hikers. The Waterfalls Tour is listed with a low fitness level, although you should be comfortable walking on rainforest paths, getting on and off the coach and potentially walking over uneven surfaces. The Daintree day also involves some walking, including a guided rainforest boardwalk.

Absolutely. This is an excellent way to experience two very different sides of Tropical North Queensland in just two days. The first day explores the waterfalls, crater lakes and rainforest of the Atherton Tablelands, while the second takes you into the ancient Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation. It is particularly good for visitors who want to experience rainforest, waterfalls, swimming holes, Indigenous culture and wildlife without having to organise separate tours themselves.
