Private Atherton Tablelands Essentials - Wildlife, Lakes & Waterfalls

Discover the natural beauty and wildlife of the Atherton Tablelands on a relaxed, fully private day tour from Port Douglas, designed exclusively for groups of up to four guests.

Travel across the Great Dividing Range into a region known for its cooler climate, fertile countryside, ancient rainforest and charming country villages. Enjoy a morning coffee in Mareeba before continuing to the remarkable Curtain Fig Tree, one of the Tablelands’ most impressive natural landmarks.
