coole tour

wir waren an vielen verschiedenen orten mit seen , regenwald, wasserfällen und einer wasserrutsche. Der guide war sehr nett und hilfsbereit und darum bemüht, dass alle einen schönen tag haben. Die Gruppe war leider nicht so leicht zu begeistern und deshalb haben seine versuche die Stimmung bisschen auszulockern ab und zu kläglich gewirkt am anfang der tour. Insgesamt auf jeden fall ein schöner tag gewesen trotz schlechtem wetter und ich würde die tour jederzeit wieder machen.

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

A bit of everything

This is the tour that will give you tastes of every bit. Enough time for swimming at the waterfalls. Enough time for wandering around but not to complete a whole 3km trail at lake echam. Our tour guide was Bubbles, he's super fun, giving information along the way, giving good recommendations, taking great photos for us. We saw tree kangaroo which is rare at the curtain fig tree
