Amazing day!! Highly recommend!! - Myself and my family joined up with Jeremy from Cairns - and from the get go, Jeremy was a bubbly and friendly character. Whilst moving from the location to location; Jeremy gave a pack full of information about the locations we were heading to, and any points of interest along the way. Jeremy's knowledge of the natural environment and creatures was second to none - it felt like we were being toured by a human encyclopaedia. Each location Jeremy took us to was visually stunning; and he always allowed us to take plenty of photos - even joining in on the action himself; especially when it came to locating the Tree Kangaroo at The Fig Curtain Tree. Jeremy always went above and beyond at each destination from start to finish - even at the end, giving us the chance to help him look for the elusive Platypus. Definitely enjoyed looking out for 'creative car parking'. Harris Family - Ann, Stephen & Daniel

The best one day tour around Cairns - Really enjoyed this tour. I had several tours around Cairns and this one was the only tour that we have been accompanied by the tour leader all the time. Jeremy was very informative and enthusiastic as a tour guide. I highly recommend this tour.

Gems of the Highlands and Lowlands - A beaut day. Steve our guide was very entertaining and kept us well informed about points of interest along the way. Paronella Park was fascinating and well worth the visit. Delicious lunch and a morning tea with fresh scones and cream. Absolutely divine!

Carsten was our tour... - Carsten was our tour guide, we had a small group. He was very knowledgeable and made it fun. I would recommend this tour and would go on it again. The places we visited were so unlike anything I've seen. Beautiful waterfalls, Curtain Fig Tree, Paronella Park was a magical place to visit. Well worth going to see.

Great trip - Excellent trip, well worth the money. They pack a lot into the trip and Paronella Park is unique. Scenery is spectacular and the trip was very well organised, with a very informative guide.

Memorable Scenery - Lovely day out and about learning about the Atherton Tablelands and seeing some amazing scenery. Our driver was great - I think his name was Darryl (I didn't write it down!), who was very funny, kept the bus well entertained with stories of his family, and history of the area. Devonshire morning tea was not at the The Lake Barrine Teahouse as advertised in the brochure, however, we stop at the small town called Malanda and the scones with jam and cream were well liked by all. We visited the Curtain Fig Tree, Millaa Millaa Falls, Babinda Boulders and a guided tour of Paronella Park, with time to wonder around on your own afterwards. Lunch was a typical pub meal but very enjoyable. Fantastic day out and highly recommended.

Great Day Out - This day tour was excellent. Unfortunately the weather was not ideal but the tour itself was awesome. Mario, our tour guide was great. The scones for morning tea were beautiful and the lunch at the pub was yummy. The only negative comment I have was that I was doing this tour with my partner and we had to sit apart in single seats. Overall an awesome trip.
