About this tour

This nine-and-a-half-hour circuit from Cairns threads together wetlands, waterfalls and rainforest canopy in one day. You'll walk through Cattana Wetlands with a driver guide, reach Barron Falls with a Djabugay cultural ranger who explains the country's significance, taste coffee and liqueur at Skybury plantation, sample artisan ice cream at Emerald Creek, then glide above the World Heritage rainforest on the Skyrail Cableway. Small group size keeps things intimate; transport, meals and entry fees are included.

What to expect

Start with an easy stroll through Cattana Wetlands, spotting birdlife and tropical vegetation. The walk to Barron Falls involves minimal elevation; your Djabugay guide shares stories of the land as you approach the waterfall. Mid-morning you'll arrive at Skybury Coffee plantation high in the tablelands for lunch paired with coffee and coffee liqueur tasting. After lunch, stop at Emerald Creek for ice cream before heading to the Skyrail station. The final hour combines a cable-car journey through the rainforest canopy with ground-station walks through rainforest sections. Pacing is relaxed throughout.

Good to know

The nine-and-a-half-hour duration includes transfer time between locations. All surfaces and transport are wheelchair accessible. Wear comfortable walking shoes and sun protection; the wetlands walk is shaded but the Skyrail stations involve some exposure. Bring a light jacket for the tablelands, which can be cooler than coastal Cairns.
