Join us for an epic full day tour exploring the must see waterfalls and lakes of the Atherton Tablelands.

We start the day with heading west up the mountain range were you’ll uncover amazing views over the Goldsborough Valley and the famous Walsh Pyramid on route to our first destination.

Our first stop is the gorgeous Lake Barrine. You’ll have time to capture gorgeous morning photographs of this picturesque location and soak in it’s magical atmosphere.

Next we arrive at the breathtaking Lake Eacham! This amazing lake is inside a volcanic crater and is surrounded by lush rainforest and is known as the most pristine lake in the Atherton Tablelands. Here we relax, swim, and take in the beauty of this truly breathtaking location.

The Curtain Fig Tree is our next destination - you will be amazed by this unique and fascinating ancient landmark!

We next stop off in Malanda to see some cute local turtles before arriving at the world-famous Milla Milla Falls.

This stunning waterfall has been showcased world wide on the Herbal Essence commercial! Here we’ll take the opportunity to have a dip, snap those picture perfect photographs and enjoy a picnic lunch (BYO food) surrounded by nature at its very finest!

On the way to our final location we head to Crawfords Lookout for some amazing views and photograph opportunities before descending down the mountain to Josephine Falls.

A true local favourite, the Josephine Falls is ranked among the most beautiful waterfalls in Australia and boasts pristine waters, beautiful scenery and an epic natural rock waterslide! We stay here hanging out, exploring, swimming, and relaxing until you're ready to hit the road back to Cairns.

Being such a small and personal tour group, we top off the perfect day by offering guests to join in for a bit of fun and drinking at a local venue after the tour.

Fantastic guide!

The tour itself is stunning and it only becomes better because of the fantastic guide/driver Adrian. He knows A LOT about wildlife, knows all the best spots in the area, is very funny and changes the itinerary according to the travellers’ needs!

AMAZING DAY

Terry is an amazing guide! Really fun and enthusiastic right from the start. He clearly loves what he's doing and spreads good vibes easily. We had an amazing day seeing the waterfalls and even stopped by "secret" spots and lookouts. Definitely recommend this tour!!!

Great time

Terry was early for the pick up and made every effort to get everyone who was scheduled. The tour left at 7:30 and was the first tour to many of the sites. One of the participants lost his phone and he went back or it. He bought papaya and cut it for people to share. He cut a sugar cane as well. He was always looking for points of interest for u to look at. The places we visited were interesting and fun. Of special note was swimming in a volcanic crater, swimming behind water falls and sliding down a water slide.
