Cairns: All Inclusive Waterfalls and Rainforest Tour

About this activity

Discover the natural beauty of Tropical North Queensland on a full-day guided adventure through the Atherton Tablelands. Explore ancient rainforest, swim in pristine waters, and learn about the powerful Indigenous stories connected to this remarkable region.

Stand beneath the remarkable Cathedral Fig Tree, a towering centuries-old strangler fig tree with deep cultural significance to local Aboriginal communities and listen as your guide shares the stories that bring its history and spiritual meaning to life.

Take in the serenity of Lake Eacham, a tranquil volcanic crater lake framed by lush rainforest and ideal for a refreshing swim.

Visit the iconic Millaa Millaa Falls, where a graceful curtain of water tumbles into a clear pool below, before cooling off at Josephine Falls, a stunning natural rockslide set among lush tropical greenery.

At the mystical Babinda Boulders, discover the powerful Aboriginal legends that reveal the cultural importance of this remarkable natural site.
