Wet but wonderful
A long day but so many great spots to experience. Our tour guide Ben was knowledgeable and friendly. And despite it being a rainy day we were still able to have a full experience. Definitely a great pick for our first bus tour.
Lots of fun and you have enough time to enjoy each stop
Excellent experience, you had enough time at every spot, and the staff was so nice. I had lots of fun. We skipped the last point due to giant flies, I'll never be sure that it wasn't an excuse. Oh and the kids ate the cookies and they never took out more for everyone else but as everything else was awesome I'll still drop my 5 stars.
What you can expect
"Dive into the heart of Tropical North Queensland on this epic full-day guided tour of the Atherton Tablelands. Swim in crystal-clear waterfalls, wander ancient rainforests, and hear powerful Indigenous stories that bring this extraordinary region to life.
Cool off at iconic spots like Millaa Millaa and Josephine Falls, surrounded by lush rainforest and stunning scenery. Explore the mystical Babinda Boulders and uncover the Aboriginal legends that give this place its spiritual power.
Stand beneath the massive, centuries-old Cathedral Fig Tree and hear firsthand from your guide about its deep cultural significance. Keep your eyes peeled for native wildlife — from shy platypus to elusive tree-kangaroos tucked away in the treetops.
Relax by the tranquil volcanic crater of Lake Eacham before enjoying morning and afternoon tea, plus a hearty pub-style lunch made with local ingredients. With hassle-free hotel pickup and drop-off from Cairns or Port Douglas, national park fees included, and a knowledgeable guide to lead the way, this tour is the ultimate mix of adventure, culture, and nature — all wrapped into one unforgettable day.

The Atherton Tablelands Waterfalls tour was a great day.
Our waterfall tour was a great day, visiting some beautiful places as detailed in the tour. Our tour guide was great and full of knowledge. Thank you for a fantastic day. Highly recommend this tour and company. Will do future tours when back in Cairns.
