Army Duck Tour Through Rainforestation Nature Park
Buckle up for a rocky rainforest adventure on the historic Army Duck — an amphibious vehicle that can traverse swampy wetlands and bumpy rainforest floors. Listen to your expert guide as they point out crocodiles, snakes, and turtles, as well as a stunning array of tropical floral gems: ferns, orchids, strangler figs and stinging trees.
Koala and Wildlife Park
After your crash course in all things wild on the Army Duck tour, get a little more intimate with our Aussie icons. Cuddle a koala, hand-feed a kangaroo, and even catch a glimpse of the endangered cassowary and Lumholtz tree kangaroo! These guys also have the only Tasmanian devils in Far North Queensland, so be sure to stop off and say hello! Don't get too close though, their bite is definitely worse than their bark. You can also see dingoes and score front-row seats to a live croc feeding.

Embark on an eye-opening journey through the local culture and history of the Traditional Landowners on the Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience. Discover their ancient Dreamtime Stories, witness traditional dances and didgeridoo performances, learn how to throw a boomerang, and sit back and watch a live demonstration of spear throwing — but don't try it at home, kids.
Rejuvenate and Refresh at the Tropical Fruit Orchard
End the day with a smorgasbord of fresh fruits at the Tropical Fruit Orchard. Learn about one of Queensland's biggest and most important industries, all the while sampling ice creams and juices made only from the very best!
