BH - Waterfalls - Waterfall Wanderers put in a superb day (7.30am -5.30pm) firstly with Orion being our guide & driver. Absolutely brilliant energy & commentary. Orion was great fun & definitely the best guide I've come across. Fully enjoyed everything shown to us & explained professionally. The bus in the next group had a problem & Waterfall Wanderers rectified this very quick that confirms they are great operators & have a large fleet of buses. Well worth the money for this day out. Loved it!!! Many thanks Orion.

Beautiful Excursion Worth Every Penny!! - I had a fantastic time on this tour! Our tour guide, Orion, was an absolute sweetheart with a great sense of humor. He made sure all explanations were age-appropriate for the kids and played fun music (with a twist in the afternoon) throughout the day. Because we were punctual, he took us to some extra scenic viewpoints, which was a plus! He was bubbly and enthusiastic the entire time, and you could tell he really enjoys his job! The intenerary was quite nicely put together. We started off on Australia's windiest road, hit eacham lake for a swim, saw a beautiful curtain fig tree, stopped at a platypus viewing point, (there weren't any, but still cool!) then made our way to the different falls for the day. If you get road sick, be sure to take medicine for the morning drive up the mountain. We had both morning and afternoon tea/coffee, with some light snacks during both. Lunch was included in the cost, but if you'd like garlic bread to go with your lasagna, it was an entra $5 AUD. We lucked out and were able to swim at every spot on the tour today! The water wasn't too cold where we went, (and it was extremely clear!) but the rocks can be a little slippery at Millaa Millaa and Josephine Falls. Be prepared for a lot of driving between locations! We got back to Carins City between 5:30-6:00. Overall, I had a fantastic time, and I honestly enjoyed this tour even more than Daintree Rainforest! I think part of that was definitely the weather, so please make sure to look at the forecast before booking. (Also, you will see so, SO MANY turtles!!!)

Great Tour!! - The tour overall was great!! The rainforest and waterfalls were huge and stunning!! You can swim at each stop, however, there were leaches in the water and some people found leaches on them so we did not swim. Also, the weather was too rough (we went during the rainy season) so we could not swim at certain spots anyways. This did not ruin the trip though!! It was still so much fun and our tour guide so super funny and well educated.

Wonderful trip - This tour is great to see Tablelands region while driving from one picturesque waterfall to another. We definitely enjoyed going down sliding rock and seeing magnificent curtain fig. Our guide Demian was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this tour.
