Your eco-certified tour starts from Cairns and the Northern Beaches where you first visit the Cairns Tropical Zoo. As you meander through the award winning Zoo and tropical gardens discover fascinating and rare animals both from Australia and other regions of the world providing opportunities to have ‘up close’ experiences with the animals. You can cuddle a koala, feed a kangaroo, see giant crocodiles and enjoy great wildlife presentations.

Then head south passing the majestic “Pyramid” mountain, surrounded by fields of sugar cane. Continue south to the beautiful Josephine Falls where we will enjoy a short rainforest walk taking you deep into the Falls – a experienced guide will interpret the wet tropical rainforest and the natural flora and fauna. Walk to the viewing platform at the top of the falls for the best aspect of the Falls.

With lunch time approaching make way to Innisfail – settled by Italian immigrants, in the heart of sugar cane country and renowned for its Art Deco buildings. Tantalise your tastebuds as you relax at Roscoe’s Restaurant for an Australian-Italian buffet.

After lunch travel to the highlight of today’s tour in the heart of the protected wilderness of the Wet Tropics World Heritage listed Wooroonooran National Park. Your guide will take you through this magnificent country and this ancient rainforest inhabited by the MaMu people since the beginning of time. From the Ma Mu Canopy Walkway and Tower we take in the enormity of this beautiful landscape and the North Johnstone River. Stand high in the tall timbered rainforest with spectacular cantilever viewing platforms and tower canopy views over the exhilarating vistas of the North Johnstone River Gorge.

On the way back to Cairns, travel through the tiny and quaint town of Babinda. Final stop of the day is at The Boulders Wilderness Reserve on the eastern slopes of Mt. Bartle Frere – Australia’s second highest mountain – steeped in Aboriginal legend from the local Tininji tribe where it is told that the spirit of Aboriginal maiden Oolana dwells within the submerged boulders of the creek. Walk along a rainforest path to the breathtaking granite rock gorge where our naturalist Guide tells this magical story. Enjoy a swim in one of the creeks as advised by our Guide.

Return to Cairns and your accommodation relaxed and refreshed after a beautiful day in the tropical Misty Mountains.
