About this excursion

Escape into the wild beauty of the Atherton Tablelands on this full-day exploration from Cairns.

Next, step into the past at Historic Village Herberton, an extraordinary open-air museum featuring over 60 original buildings from Queensland’s pioneering days. Explore intact interior displays, vintage machinery, vehicles, and thousands of rare antique treasures, immersing yourself in Australia’s rich heritage.

Finally, wrap up your day with an unforgettable visit to Granite Gorge Nature Park, where you can hand-feed adorable rock wallabies in their rugged, rocky home.
