Had a blast! - The waterfall tour of the Artherton Tablelands was so much fun! It was a small group, I got picked up from my accommodation and went ot 4 swimming spots including a pristine freshwater lake and 3 gorgeous waterfalls. Spencer was our guide and he was awesome!

The tour guide was... - The tour guide was fantastic, made sure we had a great time. The waterfalls were amazing and the tree was remarkable. There was a sandwich kind of lunch with fruit and dessert, and they were able to provide gluten free break/bun and cake, which I really appreciated. It's been a really great day and I would totally recommend this trip to anyone. Just bring your swimsuit and some snacks for the day plus plenty of water, or you can buy at the gas station.

Lots of exploring! - Super fun day exploring the Atherton Tablelands! Our tour guide was helpful, informative, and friendly. She gave us plenty of time at each stop, and it was a nice variety of things to do. My favorite was definitely the waterfall and also spotting a wild wallaby!

Kind, safe and secure, reasonable price! - We went around safely and securely with a kind guide. It was rainy season, but it was a nice weather and we enjoyed a walk around the waterfall and the entrance to the rainforest.

Excellent experience - It was very good experience to do in wet season. We did the tour in the mid February after big rain, and the falls were magnificent. The weather was good too, I can imagine it can be a bit gloomy when it rains on the day of the tour but we had only a few drops to cool down. It’s more like bus service than “tour”. The driver was very pleasant and has fun vibes to makes all of us excited, however not much of explanation of the local culture or the catheter tree. The lake and falls are magnificent, it’s the nature makes this tour special. Swimming in cold and clean freshwater in hot and humid North QLD is something special for me. Also the natural slides in Josephine falls… never experienced that before, and it was so much fun. I would rather to hire a car to drive those places though, because of the time constraints if you do any tours, and the food was only simple, and I would have preferred to stop by at a local cafe.

They canceled on me - Less than 24 hours before our trip they cancelled. Not enough people. Their suggested substitution was not of interest to us. No other choices and too late to book anything else. Very disappointed.
