Rainforest Tours

World Heritage-listed rainforests surround Tropical North Queensland in all directions and can be easily accessed and experienced in many ways. Join one of the many tour operators that conduct day and overnight tours into the rainforest or self-drive by car at your leisure.

Be enchanted by the beauty, life and tranquillity of Earth’s oldest surviving tropical rainforests and enjoy a truly sustainable eco holiday experience in Tropical North Queensland. Over 79% of land in Tropical North Queensland is protected including areas in the Daintree and Cape Tribulation rainforests of the north, the tropical Atherton Tablelands to the west, and Mission Beach to the south.

Some of the most popular Cairns Rainforest Tours are visits to Cape Tribulation – “Where the Rainforest meets the Reef” and the Daintree National Park with its famous crocodile spotting river cruises. Kuranda – “The Village in the Rainforest” has emerged as arguably the region's most visited land-based destination. Travel to Kuranda with the iconic Kuranda Scenic Train and learn of the rich history of the railway connecting the inland tablelands to the coast. Visit some of the many wildlife sanctuaries and get up close and personal with some of Australia’s most famous animals. Then take your time returning to Cairns aboard the multi-award-winning Skyrail Rainforest Cableway. Take a bird's-eye view of the Cairns Rainforest and the breathtaking views across Cairns’ Northern Beaches and out to Green Island and the Great Barrier Reef.
