Undara Lava Tubes & Cobbold Gorge 2 Day Tour

Undara Lava Tubes & Cobbold Gorge 2 Day Tour

Our curated air tours from Cairns have been called nothing short of dramatic, spectacular, striking, picturesque, breathtaking, and glorious by some of our past private charter guests as they return from their 2 day outback air tour to Undara Lava tubes and the amazing Cobbold Gorge.

Our local Cairns pilots know this landscape intimately and have a strategic flight plan that ensures our guests see the most iconic and scenic sights possible on our private charter air tours.

Our ground tours are operated by National Park Rangers and fully accredited Savannah Tour Guides to ensure you learn all about everything there is to know about the history, flora, fauna and native Australian wildlife of this unique area of outback Queensland.      

Scenic Flight from Cairns to Undara Lava Tubes

Day 1.) Guests arrive at the Cairns General Aviation area and check in to our lounge to meet our pilot and listen to a safety briefing before being weighed and settled into the aircraft to begin our take off procedures for the flight to Undara National Park to see the underground lava tubes. 

We are met at the private landing strip and taken to the Undara Lodge to meet with our Savannah tour guide to join a 2 hour tour to visit the 190,000 year old lava tubes

Cobbold Gorge

We then head back to the lodge for refreshments and a transfer back to our aircraft to make our way to Forsyth where we will be met by a team member from Cobbold Gorge and taken to the resort and settled into our overnight accommodation.

We can enjoy some free time here to paddle canoes on the lake, swim in the pool, take a walking tour on sunset in the bush, enjoy drinks at the bar and an amazing 2 course dinner on the deck followed by some banter around the bonfire that is lit every night by the lake for guests to mingle and get to know each other.

Day 2.) We wake up very early and head over to the main building for a big buffet breakfast before meeting our Savannah guide for our 3 hour Cobbold Gorge tour that departs promptly at 8.00am.

We board the purpose built 4 wheel drive overland vehicles and leave Cobbold lodge to head into the dry river beds that lead us into the rugged eucalypt bushland to see some of the most amazing escarpments and savannah scenery in Australia.

We enjoy a silent punt tour thru the waters of the surreal Cobbold Gorge and admire the beauty of the natural formations of the gorge walls that look like they have been hand polished by a professional French polisher.      

Our savannah guide provides us with the history of this massive cattle station called Robin Hood Station and tells us tales of the pioneers that crossed this land in the early 1800’s.

We also learn all about the flora and fauna and native Australian wildlife.

At the conclusion of our Cobbold Gorge tour it’s time for a refreshment and something to eat before we take our transfer back to the aircraft and enjoy our 1 hour and 30 minute scenic flight back to Cairns.
