About this tour

The southern region of Cairns, often overlooked, is brimming with hidden treasures that reveal the extraordinary beauty of Far North Queensland. Known as the Cassowary Coast, this area is a haven for nature enthusiasts, boasting pristine coastlines, lush Tropical Rainforest, and breathtaking waterfalls. Here, dramatic ocean views meet dense, green landscapes, creating a striking contrast that captivates travellers and photographers alike. Adding to its allure, the region is also famous for its fresh produce, showcasing an abundance of local fruits and vegetables that thrive in this fertile land. And, to top it all off, visitors can explore the unique and whimsical Paronella Park—a historic castle set in the rainforest, complete with its own waterfalls and gardens.

The Cassowary Coast also offers one of the best chances to encounter the iconic cassowary, an elusive and endangered bird that roams the forests like a living relic of prehistoric times. These “living dinosaurs” are a sight to behold, with their striking colours and impressive stature, and spotting one in its natural habitat is an unforgettable experience. From rainforest trails to coastal walks and encounters with rare wildlife, the southern Cairns region invites exploration and discovery, revealing a side of Tropical North Queensland that many visitors have yet to experience.
