Enjoy the unique experience of swimming in the crystal clear waters of a rainforest pool. The first swim of the tour will be at Crystal Cascades where it is likely that you will be joined only by turtles and fish and maybe a sea eagle looking for a meal of fish. The Crystal Cascades were created by Fresh Water Creek on its rush from the mountains to the sea. Experience this perfect natural swimming pool in its tranquil rainforest setting.

The tour rounds of a memorable day at one of Cairns beautiful beaches where you may see dolphins, turtles, sea snakes and even the occasional crocodile.

Experience the World Heritage Rainforest "up close and personal" - not just through a bus window. Stuart, your guide, will introduce you to the natural wonders of this unique rainforest ecosystem, the oldest on the planet, which has remained unchanged for more than 120 million years. You will be able to get up close (but not too close!!) to dangerous and sometimes deadly, Stinging Tree and the Wait-A-While vine which can rapidly snare the unwary walker in its thorny embrace. He will show you some of the bush Tucker plants that sustained the locally indigenous people for over 40,000 years. Try to find a Beach Almond and discover for yourself its surprising sexy secret.

Discover the unique wildlife of the wet tropics. You may also discover, from time to time, why they are called "wet" tropics!!! Stuart is a skilled and experienced bushman, and has all the skills necessary to get you close to an abundant variety of wildlife which lives on Cairn's doorstep. On our tours, you can expect to see wild animals in their natural environment - goanna lizards, pythons, turtles, giant tropical butterflies, flying foxes, eagles, wallabies, dolphins, snakes, as well as native insects and bush food. Even, from time to time, the rare cassowary.

Our tours are dedicated to sharing the natural wonders of the Cairns rain forest with our guests in smaller more personalised groups. You will spend more time out of the bus than in it. Your tour guide, Stuart, is a genuine bushman who has lived and worked in the bush as a forester, a professional hunter and a conservationist and has a real passion for the plants and animals of the rain forest in all their variety. Who better to show you around the bush than one who has lived there? Be sure to bring your camera for a memorable and 'off the beaten track' tour of Cairns' rain forest. We are proud of the reputation we have that this is the best value tour in Cairns.
