Cairns Tours - Ma Mu Rainforest & Misty Mountians

We head south on a path less travelled to see a “birds eye” view of the protected wilderness of the Wet Tropics World Heritage listed National Park. Ascending the range we arrive at the MaMu Rainforest Canopy Walkway in the heart of the National Park-the land of the MaMu people.

After your morning tea, our guide will take you through this magnificent country and this ancient rainforest inhabited by the MaMu people since the beginning of time.

Take in the enormity of this majestic landscape including the North Johnstone River.

From the canopy walkway you will take in the enormity of this beautiful landscape and the North Johnstone River. Stand high in the rainforest with both spectacular cantilever viewing platforms and tower canopy views. Hopefully catching a glimpse of some wildlife as you walk quietly along the elevated walkway.

We then travel east towards the coast to view the Misty Mountains and the souring Mt Bartle Frere, one of Queensland’s highest mountains. We arrive at Josephine Falls where we enjoy a short rainforest walk taking us deep into the Falls where our experienced guide will interpret the wet tropical rainforest and the natural flora and fauna.

At Josephine Falls we stop and enjoy a picnic lunch in this dense tropical rainforest. If you wish, enjoy a swim below the beautiful tiered waterfall which drops into several very deep pools over a natural waterslide. Walk to the viewing platform at the top of the falls for the best aspects of the Falls.

Our final stop for the day is the Boulders Wilderness Reserve on the eastern slopes of Mt Bartle Frere.

A constant high volume of water has weathered boulders and ravines in and along the creek bed. The “Boulders” holds a 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.

Experience the legend as told by our guide on a casual stroll around the boulder circuit. Maybe enjoy a swim in one of the creeks quiet swimming places located within the Reserve.

A final refreshment stop in Babinda, with a conversation with artists at an authentic local aboriginal art work gallery. We return to Cairns at around 6pm refreshed and rejuvenated from a nicely paced day in the Tropical Misty Mountains.
