A day tour visit to the mountains of the Atherton Tablelands promises to be one of great contrast, beauty and exploration.

Our popular Atherton Tablelands food and nature trail tour has now become one of the most highly sought day tours in Cairns.

With our small group of only 16 – 20 passengers we cover a lot of ground on our one day Cairns tour and see so many offerings from Mother Nature and get to enjoy so much of the yummy food that is produced right here in the mountains of the Atherton Tablelands.

Most of the food produced on the Atherton Tablelands is exported all over the world due to the regions glorious year round temperatures being simply perfect for growers and producers.
