At the Babinda Boulders, you'll discover a mystical landscape surrounded by dense rainforest and ancient legends. Then, enjoy the peaceful beauty of Lake Eacham, a volcanic crater lake where you might spot tree-kangaroos or even a shy platypus.

Waterfall Wanderers Tour

Really good tour, beautiful waterfalls, recommend you take reef shoes to get into the water, as the rocks can be slippery. Great guide, would have appreciated just an extra 10 minutes for lunch as our group all had to put our drinks into paper cups to take back on the bus, as we hadn't finished them. Otherwise, great value for money, and an interesting tour!

Amazing!

They always do such an awesome job. Their guides are well knowledgeable, friendly, super approachable and kind. They all have safety as their main focus on the tour but also are really good at making sure everyone’s having a good time. This is the second time I’ve done this tour and if you get the chance to have Clint or Clinton you’re gonna have an unforgettable time! Thanks so much guys for making such an awesome trip yet again.

Wonderful waterfall tour

Highly recommend this tour! We were fortunate to be guided and looked after by Chandan on our day out to the Atherton Tablelands. Even though it was cold and rainy,the locations were spectacular and knowledge provided by our guide was fantastic. Very memorable trip
