Excellent day with Bridget as our brilliant tour guide for the day. Extremely knowledgeable and so much fun. Plenty to eat, drink and see. A full day of entertainment. Do not have dinner plans for the same day, you won't need it. Highly recommend this experience.

This is an all day affair where you will get to learn about the wonderful region around Cairns with tons of history and facts about the wildlife you may encounter. Get ready to eat and no two stops are the same, you’re going to get a taste of everything this scenic and enchanting area has to offer. Highly recommend!
