Brilliant - We spent our 38th wedding anniversary on the tablelands tour. We had an amazing day. Went to stunning places and ate lots of beautiful food. Simon our tour guide was fun and knowledgeable. The Mareeba Rock wallabies we fed were very special. Great memories.

A Memorable Day in the Tablelands. - Everything about the day was excellent.
The Day provided me with a wonderful understanding of the importance of the Atherton Tableland as a food bowl. And this was reinforced by the tasting experiences as a part of the day….Coffee at the Coffee Plantation, the excellent Pink Papaya for morning tea (as my substitute for glutinous scones), the fantastic Cheese Tasting at the Dairy and then an excellent gluten free sandwich, the spirit tasting at the Distillery and being able to discuss the produce and processes with the distiller, and then the yummy home cooked cake for afternoon tea.
Thank You for a Memorable Day.

- Taste of the Tablelands
If you only have one day for the Tablelands do not go past this tour - combining rainforests, savannah, volcanic plains and lakes and food and coffee tastings. Simon and Renae are wonderful hosts full of hospitality and information. This tour was so full of variety and diversification is is difficult to find a highlight. What struck us was Simon's phenomenal knowledge of the landscape and environment and the welcome he received from all the venues we visited. This tour company is obviously held in very high reqard throughout the Cairns area.
Tastings were well spaced, plenty of time allowed for each stop and lots humour and fun along the way.
Granite Gorge was awesome, the opportunity to interact with the little Rock Wallabies without causing any distress or interference to them was amazing and the walk through the gorge itself was just awe inspiring.
All in all one of the most enjoyable days we had in Cairns.

A wonderful day on the table lands - Simon and Carl of tropical tours definitely lived up to the company’s reputation.
Our tour taste of the table lands was everything we could ask for.
First I walk with a cane and found the van very easy to navigate. Simon and Carl were both very kind to make sure I could enjoy each stop.
Next Simon is incredibly knowledgeable about the local geology, history and flora/fauna. He is happy to answer any questions.
Not to be discounted is the wonderful food we enjoyed. Home baked cakes, wonderful coffee, spirits, cheese, chocolate and lunch were delicious.
A special thank you to Skybury plantation who opened on a holiday and made us welcome. I highly recommend the coffee and the location is a beautiful setting.
We had a wonderful day and learned so much. I cannot recommend this tour or company highly enough

Check out Cairns...beyond The Esplanade - We've done several tours with Tropic Tours now, and will always engage them when we're visiting Cairns in the future. Simon was our driver and tour guide, with Renae handling the admin and background for their small group tours.
We've done Paronalla Park, A Taste of the Tablelands, Mossman Gorge & Daintree, & The Cassowary Coast, over two visits to Cairns.
Simon keeps you entertained and informed the whole time, and all of the tours are very complex, and diverse. He has a vast array of knowledge on all the areas we visited, and managed to answer all the questions I had, including those that were completely off topic.
We had a great experience with Tropic Tours, and the small group tour bus suited us down to the ground.
We would highly recommend Tropic Tours for anyone wanting to do a small group tour.

An incredible day with Simon, JJ and the beautiful Cairnes countryside!! - This is an amazing Tour. Simon and JJ gave us the time of our life! With great sight seeing and some of the most beautiful places, coffee and coffee tasting, cheese tasting, a beautiful lunch at a dairy, CHOCOLATES and afternoon tea! We even visited a distillery for spirts and tasting local gins and rums. Does it get any better?? This was a small group tour with just 8 of us. It made it almost one on one and we gained a lot of knowledge of the area. If you have a day to spend relaxing, eating and taking photos of incredible venues, you have to take this tour.

Fantastic day! - This is a long day with fantastic food & spirits stops.
This tour includes everything we expected and more. Simon & JJ are very knowledgeable, professional & entertaining.
This is one of the best tour we have booked in a long time. We enjoyed all of the nature walks. The table lands has so much to offer. Totally different than Cairns. The diversity of the different parks and waterfalls are amazing.
We would definitely book a tour with them again when we are back in Cairns. Everything was top quality. If you want to experience a terrific day this one is for you!

I had no idea there was... - I had no idea there was so much more to do from Cairns than the Barrier Reef! This tour should be on everybody’s bucket list when in Cairns. The guides had incredible depth of knowledge of the history, flora, fauna, geology, and super places to get a taste of local food and drink. I already want to do this again when I get back to Cairns again!
