Hi, I'm Ben
For over 25 years I’ve dedicated my life to sharing the wonders of the world’s most remarkable destinations with travellers seeking authentic, unforgettable experiences.
As the heart and soul behind Cairns Luxury Guides, I’ve turned my passion for Tropical North Queensland into a mission to craft bespoke, small-group adventures that reveal the region’s hidden gems.
My journey in tourism began over two decades ago, with 15 years spent guiding travellers through some of the planet’s most breathtaking landscapes—from the rugged Outback of Western Australia and the Northern Territory to the wilds of Canada. Those years honed my skills as a storyteller and guide, teaching me how to bring a destination to life with vivid stories and an interactive approach that makes every tour feel personal and immersive.
Here in Far North Queensland, I’ve found my true calling. The lush rainforests of the Cassowary Coast, the untouched beauty of the Atherton Tablelands, and the unique convergence of the Daintree Rainforest and Great Barrier Reef inspire me every day. With my Eco Guide and Wet Tropics Guide certifications, I bring a deep understanding of this region’s ecosystems and cultural heritage to every tour. My guests don’t just see Tropical North Queensland, they feel its heartbeat.
What sets Cairns Luxury Guides apart is our commitment to exclusivity and authenticity. With access to private areas off the beaten path, I create intimate experiences for small groups of 2–5, ensuring every moment is tailored to your desires. Whether it’s marvelling at a secluded waterfall, savouring local produce, or spotting a rare cassowary, I’m here to make your journey unforgettable. My warm, professional approach ensures you feel like a friend, not just a guest, as we explore this incredible corner of the world together.
