⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely unforgettable waterfall tour!
Carin_P, October 2026
We had the most incredible day exploring Far North Queensland’s breathtaking waterfalls with our wonderful tour guide, Cheryl. Every waterfall we visited was absolutely spectacular — and being able to safely swim in these beautiful freshwater swimming holes while knowing we were in croc country made the experience even more special!
Cheryl was an exceptional host — warm, knowledgeable, professional and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty, stories and history of Country. Her Aboriginal history and cultural knowledge shared throughout the drive added such a meaningful layer to the experience and made the journey between the waterfalls just as fascinating as the destinations themselves.
A special highlight was meeting Alan a QLD Murray, who was incredibly knowledgeable about his Country and its history. Hearing these stories from people with genuine connection to Country was something we really valued.
The lunch was another highlight — absolutely delicious, generous and plentiful, with seconds and even thirds available! And to top it off, the lunch venue had its own waterfall, which was such a beautiful surprise.
I also really appreciated seeing the tour company supporting a local, authentic Aboriginal business. Supporting local communities and Aboriginal businesses while experiencing Country in such a respectful and authentic way makes a huge difference.
The whole tour was professional, well organised, informative, fun and incredibly memorable. I honestly could not fault it.
If you’re visiting Far North Queensland and want to experience some of the region’s most beautiful waterfalls while learning about the Country, its history and culture, I couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough. 🌿💦❤️
Thank you, Cheryl, for an amazing day — we’ll be talking about this experience for a very long time!

More bus riding time than activities but still worth it
Di_L, September 2026
Didn't find a detailed timeline of the day when I was trying to book this tour. So here it is, after I've tried it. To sum up, there's more bus riding than activities, but the spots are so beautiful that I think it's still worth it. Perfect for a day where you want to sit and rest a bit and add in some short thrills here and there.
---
7:00-7:48 bus drive around various places to pickup
passengers, Viator says 7:00am but we actually had to wait and got picked up at 7:45am.
7:48-8:33 gas + gordonvale
Cathedral tree and hearing from an indigenous person was very informative.
10:40-11:05 Lake Eacham swim and use toilet.
40m driving
11:45-12:15 Mila Mila falls very beautiful and unique spot for a quick swim, bring your own swimming gears, towels, water shoes, very cold water temperature in September.
12:15-12:32pm drive again
12:32-1:15pm buffet lunch at Mungalli falls upper rapid
1:15-2:15pm driving
2:15-3:10pm rock sliding Josephine waterfall, very fun. 750m hike through a buggy trail. Enough time for once or twice slide if you're quick and determined. Fairly safe given rocks are smooth and covered in moss. Very slippery. Lots tiny flies, might want to use insect spray.
Bus guide very strict about timing and head counts. Which is great for keeping us safe and on-time but I wish there were more detailed itenary to help me know what to expect.
No towel service, so bring your own towel, and be prepared to sit on wet seat and wet clothing.
3:40-4:40pm babinda lake swim, 750m hike to devil's pool, afternoon cookies and tea.
5:40pm tour ended at hotel drop-off.

Good trip but lots of bus time

Nice trip. Great waterfall views and fun. Lots of bus time with little actual experience time. Leader, Clint, was excellent.

Full day of rainforests, water, and culture
Tutonehuff, September 2026
Just had a fantastic day with our guide Ian. This tour packs in a lot. It started with a visit to the Cathedral tree and cultural experience in the tablelands area rainforest. It was so cool. Then we hit the road for 4 separate swimming experiences at 1 lake, 2 waterfalls and 1 creek. We stopped for lunch at Mungali falls. Lots of driving, moderate walking, tons of scenery whether driving through the mountains or walking in the various rainforest areas. We spent about 30-45 minutes at each spot.

Cold water swimmer's dream
Caroline_Y, August 2026
You will get to swim in 4 beautiful and different locations, and have a healthy lunch at yet another. There's a natural slide at one waterfall that's great fun. You'll also get a really intetesting talk with an Aboriginal guide and see the Cathedral tree. Even if you don't swim, you'll see gorgeous natural wonders.
