Itinerary

Exclusive Rainforest & Reef Island Adventure Tour

Get set for one amazing day tour, which starts with the Wet Tropics Rainforest and ends with time on a Great Barrier Reef island. It all begins when our accredited, naturalist guide collects you from your Cairns city accommodation.

We then take you up the Kuranda Range and provide a short tour around Kuranda Village, with a stop at the mighty Barron Falls. From here, we head off-road for some soft four-wheel driving.

Crossing rainforest streams and climbing over some of the Great Dividing Range mountains. See ancient King Ferns and then stop at the Clohesy Boardwalk, where you take a guided botanical tour which includes seeing a giant strangler fig tree. The next stop is Davies Creek, a picturesque setting, where you have the option to refresh in the always crystal clear, cold waters. As we head back to Cairns to catch the catamaran.

In the afternoon, board a comfortable catamaran for a fast transfer to Green Island.  With two hours on the island, you snorkel off the beach and under the jetty, to see fish and corals. One of these activities is included in the tour price, so you can customise your island visit to suit your preferences. Relax on the golden beaches and listen to the waves, before cruising back to Cairns. And make your own way back to your accommodation.
