Departing the Cairns' coast, your tour ascends the mighty Lamb Range providing panoramic views of the Mulgrave River Valley from Heale's Lookout. The high elevation Southern Tablelands rainforests are vastly different to coastal rainforest surrounding Cairns and support a wide variety of wildlife, many being unique to the Tablelands.

Be the first cruise in the morning to view the Lake's abundant wildlife and marvel at the vibrant, old growth World Heritage listed rainforest surrounding Lake Barrine whose deep waters are filled by crystal clear rainwater. Back on land a short walk reveals the Twin Kauri Pine Trees - amongst Australia's largest trees, these 1000 year old forest giants are relics of the past.
Your experienced Cairns tours driver/guide will escort you along boardwalks to the ancient Giant Curtain Fig Tree - an amazing accomplishment of nature! The surrounding forest is also home to the elusive and shy Lumholz Tree Kangaroos.
Then commence a tour of the Waterfalls Circuit . Each of the waterfalls is unique and is viewed from a different aspect. All waterfalls flow in abundance all year round!
Commencing with world-famous Millaa Millaa Falls (featured in many commercial television advertisements and films where a quick swim is possible) and then drive along quaint country farming roads and rich dairying pastures. Relax and enjoy the serenity whilst enjoying an excellent two course lunch, which is served outdoors in a private gazebo situated atop of Mungalli Falls, which are the Tableland's tallest falls.
After lunch we arrive at the Ma Mu Rainforest Canopy Walkway and Tower. From the canopy walk you will take in the enormity of this majestic landscape including the North Johnstone River. Stand high in the rainforest with both spectacular viewing platforms and tower canopy views of the remote wilderness.
Descending the range, you arrive at multi award wining Paronella Park where you will be escorted by the park's knowledgeable guide.
