Atherton Tablelands and Waterfalls Guided Tour

Want to swim in natural waterfalls, swimming holes and native wildlife but don’t know where to go? Join this Cairns waterfall day tour to discover some of North Queensland’s most iconic waterfalls surrounded by lush rainforest in the Atherton Tablelands. Your guide will collect you from Cairns accommodation at 7.30am and take you on a day filled with adventure amongst nature. Relax and let someone else take care of the driving as you sit back and soak in the panormic views on the drive. The first stop is the Babinda Boulders where you will hear spooky Aboriginal stories before your first swim of the day at Josephine Falls. Swim in nature’s waterpark here as you slide down the water rockslide. The next stop is Australia’s famous Millaa Millaa falls which make a beautiful backdrop for any photograph and a scenic swim. Enjoy Australian country hospitality with a hearty lunch at the Malanda Pub before continuing the adventure in the afternoon. Visit Mount Hypipamee Dinner and Crater Falls to walk through the bush, swim behind the waterfall and gaze into the 85 metre deep volcanic crater. Additional stops include a visit to the Curtain Fig Tree with tree roots that tower 3 storeys above you. You may even spot Tree Kangaroos and Cassowaries while you are here. Finally, end the day visiting a creek looking for platypus and a swim in a dormant volcanic crater at Lake Eacham amongst turtles. The tour will return you to Cairns accomodation at 5.30pm after a full day exploring cascading waterfalls and rainforest near Cairns.
