Traveler Reviews

We were transported by small coach from our hotel to Cairns then onto another coach and had a fantastic day. The coach driver was great and we stopped at various sites along the way which we hadn't expected but definitely added value to the trip. It's definitely a full day which we all enjoyed. There were regular breaks at various sites and the Tea House on the dam was great with old world charm. We had a great meal at the Italian restaurant. Paronella Park was great. A definite must do if you're in the Cairns area.

It was a wonderful tour with Mitch. He provided experience, humour and knowledge of the area. It was a full day which I’m sure was very much enjoyed by our bus load of tourists. We enjoyed the morning tea at Lake Beecham, Milla Mills Falls and of course Paronella Park - what can we say other than the this was incredible and can’t wait to return.

This place was everything I imagined it would be, such a beautiful serene magical place, I just walked around imagining what it would have been like in it’s day. The night tour is a must as well, just book a cabin on the property so you don’t have to drive at night, there is also a caravan park on sight. When you arrive you are welcomed by the owner or one of his team and someone is there to farewell you when you leave as well, they can also book you in at the local pub for a meal that night it’s just a short walk up the road over a suspension bridge over the falls, there is also a on sight cafe. All up for me it was an amazing experience.

Fabulous and informative tour. Weather was a bit Yucky but many Thanks to Shane our Bus Tour guide an Awesome Day was had be all. Scones and Pitza and Pasta Lunch Yum. Only Complaint was the tour guide at Paronella Park, She was quiet rude to all of our group for being 5 mins late and continually complained while doing tour.
