Cairns Highlands & Outback Tours

Cairns is surrounded by mountain ranges. Approximately 1 to 1 ½ hours drive up the mountain range west of Cairns you will find yourself in the Cairns Highlands also known as the Atherton Tablelands. The Cairns Highlands is home to world heritage listed rainforest, national parks, rivers, lakes and waterfalls. The Cairns Highlands is an ideal destination for bush walking, bird and wildlife tours, hot air ballooning or just lazing around and enjoying the scenery. Escape the hustle and bustle of city life by renting a campervan and enjoying the many sites at your own pace. If you are short on time take a nature and wildlife tour which will show you as much as possible in one or two days. The Gulf Savannah is made up of untouched bushland and wide open spaces with spectacular flora and fauna. The Gulf Savannah consists of meandering river systems, hot springs, lava tubes and gorges full of wildlife. You will need a 4WD to access a lot of these areas but there are some spectacular tours available.
