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.

Enjoy freshly baked scones and morning tea before boarding the first morning cruise on the calm waters of the extinct volcanic crater, Lake Barrine. View the Lake’s abundant wildlife and marvel at the old growth World Heritage listed rainforest surrounding the lake whose deep jade green waters are filled by crystal clear rainwater.
A short guided walk reveals the Twin Kauri Pine Trees, 1000 year old forest giants - amongst Australia’s largest trees.

Next stop is Allumbah Pocket where we hope to catch a glimpse of the elusive platypus in its natural creek habitat. After a short journey your guide will escort you along boardwalks to the ancient Giant Curtain Fig Tree - an amazing accomplishment of nature! The surrounding forest is home to the shy Lumholtz's Tree Kangaroos.

Then commence your tour of the Waterfalls Circuit with world-famous Millaa Millaa Falls (featured in many commercial television advertisements and films where a quick swim is possible).

Travel through rich dairying pastures to Mungalli Creek Dairy which is North Queensland’s only certified organic dairy farm producing biodynamic dairy products - enjoy a free cheese and yoghurt tasting.
Upon arrival at Mungalli Falls enjoy an excellent two course lunch. Served outdoors in our own private gazebo, uniquely situated atop Mungalli Falls (the Tableland's tallest falls).

Descending the range, you arrive at multi award wining Paronella Park where you will be escorted by the park's knowledgeable guide.
