Surprises en cascades

Nous partons pour une journée waterfalls et finalement c'est au dessus de nos espérances. Trois baignades avec possibilités de passer dans une cave cachée derrière une cascade. Nous avons vu des kassoar, ornithorynques et dingos ce qui a fini notre voyage en australie de la meilleure des façons.

Awesome experience

The best your we had in cairns! Loved the waterfalls, the puns from our tour operators Max, and how everything happened in a timely manner. We visited 4-5 waterfalls, took a dip in each, had coffee and lunch and got to do a couple of mini hikes while people were swimming in the lake. I wished the pub had more vegan option like vegan burger instead of just salad. But overall this trip is totally worth it!
