Experience the Atherton Tablelands in one unforgettable day
Discover the beauty, wildlife and stories of the Atherton Tablelands on this full-day small-group adventure from Cairns.
Travel beyond the coast into one of Tropical North Queensland’s most diverse regions, where World Heritage rainforest gives way to open savannah plains, fertile volcanic farmland and wide country landscapes.
As the scenery changes, your guide shares engaging commentary on the region’s history, environment and agriculture — from ancient rainforests and volcanic soils to what’s grown here today and how the land shapes local life.
Local produce forms part of the Tablelands story, with opportunities to sample regional flavours along the way. Tastings are optional and relaxed, making the experience suitable for non-drinkers and light eaters.
With comfortable transport, easy walks and a friendly, social atmosphere, this is an enjoyable way to experience the Atherton Tablelands in one day.
