Overnight Tour of Mission Beach Cairns
We are all about nature, fun, beautiful swimming locations and love a good laugh! Our tours take a maximum of 21 passengers, to ensure you a personalized tour service and to provide you with the best opportunity to meet new friends and see the Cairns region like us locals do…
Just a Overnight trip from Cairns, you’ll feel a world away in the Cassowary Coastal town, Mission Beach… Snorkel dunk island (equipment inc), spend a half day rafting the Tully, Chase the waterfalls and lax out on the beach or take a short hike to the lookout!
We are not strict with the itinerary and often throw in other stops or change locations depending on time/weather… If you like a place – we’ll stay longer, if you don’t, then we will move on.
These are the regular stops: Babinda Boulders, Josephine Falls, Mena Creek falls (Paronella Park viewing platform), Mission Beach, Dunk Island & the Tully river (rafting).
Discover Australia’s unique landscapes, keep your eyes peeled for Aussie’s Endemic wildlife, like Cassowaries, Tree Kangaroos, Green Tree Frogs… and at the end of your journey chow down on a pac of Tim Tams. Let’s go!
