The tour is a fantastic experience visiting small attractions and food and beverage producers on the Atherton Tablelands. We had never been over the range before and was blown away by the diversity of country and people living and working there.
Brett was fantastic as the guide and his passion to support local people who have done things tough is wonderful.
The food and drinks were amazing and every dollar you spend goes to the people who run the business
You don’t go hungry and the different foods, fruits and beverages were well worth the day.

This is a value for money trip. I have been to the Atherton tablelands a couple of times and every stop this tour made was a new place for me. Each location was well worth it and the treats were terrific. From sausages seasoned with bush spices, local cheeses, chocolates, damper, local made jams, local coffee, distillery tastings and more - the tastings were all well portioned. Dale was very informative and each stop was as good as the one before. We even got to see a tree kangaroo. What a great business supporting other local businesses.
