The Atherton Tablelands is an ancient landscape, shaped by dramatic volcanic eruptions and lava flows. Once it was also a deep ocean basin. Today, it’s a place of waterfalls, crater lakes, rainforest, ancient trees, unique creatures and country towns.

Where Is The Atherton Tablelands? – The Atherton Tablelands is the collective (local) name, for the many townships and regions high in the rainforest mountains, ‘behind’ Cairns. It’s home to the highest town in Queensland – Ravenshoe, which is 920m above sea level.

Welcome To Country – There are several Traditional Owners of the area known as the Atherton Tablelands. The Wadjanbarra Yidi people lived in the low-lying rainforest areas between the mountains, travelling along trails to and from the coast. The Bundabarra Yidi were the custodians of the rainforest mountains in the area around Yungaburra. Our Tablelands tour visits both these areas. We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

The Daintree Rainforest is part of Australia’s Wet Tropics World Heritage area and is the world’s oldest continually surviving tropical rainforest. It’s a living natural wonder, with a cultural landscape like nowhere else on earth.

Where Is The Daintree Rainforest? – The Daintree Rainforest is in the Daintree National Park, which is split into two sections – Mossman Gorge and Cape Tribulation. The most southern part of the Daintree National Park, the Mossman Gorge section, is about an 80-minute drive north of Cairns. While its northern reaches, around Cape Tribulation, is 140km north of Cairns.
