Overview

This full-day trip from Cairns takes you into the Atherton Tablelands for a mix of rainforest, swimming holes and classic North Queensland scenery. Stops include Babinda Boulders, Josephine Falls, Milla Milla Falls and the volcanic crater lake at Lake Eacham. Morning tea, a two-course hot lunch and park fees are included, so it is a straightforward day out if you want to see more than the city and beaches without organising transport yourself.

Free cancellation

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Why backpackers love it

It packs a lot into one booking: multiple waterfall and lake stops, swims, meals and park fees, so there are fewer extra costs on the day. It also makes the Tablelands easy to do without a car, which is handy if you are based in Cairns and short on time. If you are after an active nature day rather than a city tour, this gives you several standout spots in one hit.

What to expect

Expect a long but varied day with several nature stops and chances to swim. You will travel from Cairns into the Tablelands, visiting Babinda Boulders, Josephine Falls, Milla Milla Falls and Lake Eacham, with rainforest walks along the way. The tour includes morning tea and coffee, then a two-course lunch with hot food, salads, dessert, tea, coffee and fresh fruit. From 1 April to 31 October, platypus spotting is also part of the day. The tour is listed as suitable for all physical fitness levels, and vegetarian, vegan and other dietary needs can be catered for if requested when booking.
