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 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 pioneering timber industry.

Travelling through lush dairying areas we pause by a creek to catch a glimpse of the very elusive platypus.

Our Cairns tours 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.

We then commence our tour of the complete 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) we then drive along quaint country roads to view numerous falls. Whilst proceeding to Mungalli Falls, our tour travels through rich dairying pastures to Mungalli Creek Dairy which is North Queensland's only certified organic dairy farm producing bio-dynamic dairy products - sample their cheeses and yoghurts. An excellent two course lunch served outdoors in our private gazebo situated atop of Mungalli Falls, which are the Tableland's tallest falls.
