Start your morning with a visit to the captivating granite boulders and flowing creeks of Babinda Boulders. Surrounded by charming tropical rainforest, listen to the legendary Aboriginal history of the destination, a tragic love story that brings the cascading streams of water to life.
Josephine Falls
A morning swim at the fresh-flowing Josephine Falls is a dream! Take a short bush walk through the lush rainforest to reach the smooth rock and crisp freshwaters of the popular Josephine Falls. Reaching the destination before the tourist crowds, guests can slide down the waterfall on the natural waterslide and relax amongst the breathtaking scenery in peace!
Millaa Millaa Falls
Next, cruise aboard the air-conditioned coach with your small group to Australia’s most iconic waterfall - Millaa Millaa Falls! Standing at an incredible 18 metres high and surrounded by a stunning natural amphitheatre, we recommend bringing along a camera for this one. Afterwards enjoy a delicious country lunch at Malander Pub, Australia’s largest timber pub, before hitting the waterfalls again!
Curtain Fig Tree
As the afternoon emerges, the day tour will head to Curtain Fig Tree, a 15-metre-high ancient tree with mesmerising, twisting tree roots. Enjoy knowledgable commentary, and be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the elusive Lumholtz Tree Kangaroo.
Lake Eacham
A dormant volcanic crater lake created many millennia ago, Lake Eacham is flourishing with native wildlife and crystal-clear waters. Before enjoying the last swim of the day, search for Platypus at a secluded lake spot. As the sun begins to set over a remarkable North Queensland day, enjoy a sunset swim before cruising back to Cairns.
