Top Cairns & the Tropical North Outdoor Activities

Kevin was awesome. He brought us to some beautiful places, gave us some great recommendations for the area, and even can tell a joke or two. (Good at being joked on also).

Kevin is a brilliant guide, informative, engaging and entertaining. Tour was amazing, visiting some hidden treasures of the cairns hinterland!

DO NOT MISS THIS TOUR!!! Kevin's love for the wilderness and the wildlife that live is obvious the first minute you meet him. If ever there was a real live Crocodile Dundee of the rainforest Kevin is your guy! His quick humor and engaging spirit ensures that everyone has an awesome time. Because of circumstances beyond our control, Kevin agreed to reschedule us and took us out on his day off and showed us the wilderness and the outback! Incredible sightings of Lace monitors, a pair of musky rat kangaroos, numerous bird sightings, beautiful butterflies and Kevin's extensive knowledge of the flora and fauna made the day fly by and topped off with handmade icecream and a swim in a pool on Davis creek. There is a reason that he is so highly rated. Bloody good time mate! Thanks from Shawn and the family.

The ATVs were so much fun! Got to ride for a long time and through fantastic terrain. Strongly recommend this tour. Very friendly and informative guide too!

We had a great time on this tour. They picked us up from the cruise port right on time and drove us up the mountain to their atv course. It hadn't rained in a while so the course was dusty, so bring some sunglasses. There were some nice elevation changes and you get to go through some small rivers. We'd love to come back during the wet season to see how everything changes. Way better than the cruise ship offering!

This was the perfect way to see the rainforest. Train ride up was spectacular and the sky rail down was equally so! ATV tour was wonderful! Yellow penda tree was an incredible sight to see! Our ATV tour guide was great :)

The tour guide I had was very informative and friendly. Knew a lot about the local flora and fauna and was very receptive to questions/comments.

Simon was very informative, helpful, and just pleasant to everyone on the tour all day long. It was very interesting and a great way to see the rainforest!

Excellent experience to enjoy canyoning in the clear water at Behana Gorge. We were lucky to have the super hilarious, handsome and energetic tour guides Marc and Dom with us to make the journey more fun. We enjoyed it very much and highly recommend people to join their tour to make your journey unforgettable:) Highly recommended!!

This is a must-do activity if you are staying near Cairns! We didn't quite know what to expect from this tour, but it was better than we could have imagined! The guides are so fun and make everyone feel at ease and encourage them to face any fears you may have. Safety is the top concern, but adventure is a close second. We were tempted to rebook for a couple days later just so we could experience it all again. Book this tour!

It was a great experience, the guides are helpful and friendly. The Rafting itself is a lot of fun, not too extreme or tiring but a great experience. As it was our first time we were quite worried but the guide helped make the experience worth while and I would most definitely go with them again. The bus is comfortable and we were picked up from the hotel on time and we headed out to the gorge at the given time. The half day was enough, we were not rushed had enough time to get the full experience.

‘This rafting was a lot of fun. Very friendly guides and people in our raft. This is a great way to cool off

My wife and I booked this excursion short-notice via Viator and had so much fun. We ended up with an afternoon free, booked around 11 and were on the bus by 1. The guides were fun and very interactive and the rapids just the right level for us amateurs. Highly recommend Foaming Fury!

Fantastic morning, very enjoyable for all. Would do again and highly recommend. Great value, worth every cent.

Execlent Gabes was so helpful and fun to be with. the waterfalls were beautful too see and the swimming was great

The bird Sanctuary was splendid. There were birds of various species flying around in a wonderful free environment and tons of interaction with many of them. The koala area or zoo was limited.

Thoroughly enjoyed our small group trip to see boulders, waterfalls, volcanic craters. Our guide's enthusiasm despite the rain was great - as was his knowledge. Thanks Tom - we had a great day.

Stu was a very friendly tour guide with lots of stories (mostly about crocodiles). He kept the bus ride interesting, to the point where I didn't mind all the driving. I do wish we were able to spend more time in the parks/nature, but we did hit up a lot of places in one day.

Had a wonderful experience at all the locations. We were accompanied by Kyle who gave us wonderful insights and history with regards to the places.

Our tour guide, Stuart, was unbelievable. He made sure that every member of the tour throughly enjoyed their experience and was equally given attention. The sites on this tour are amazing, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

This was a wonderful journey into the forest by moon light. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Bring bug spray!!

Pau was absolutely fantastic and extremely informative. We saw a lot of different wildlife, especially nocturnal animals too. It was a lovely day.

Everything about the Hartley's excursion was fabulous. The transport came at the set time, there was good communication before the excursion. Harry's offers a number of other great experiences as well. We were able to email Hartley's and arrange a schedule of extras we wanted to do plus the things included in the ticket that interested us. When we arrived, our driver had a nap marking the location of each thing, the time and the needed tickets. The koala keeper at the breakfast was very friendly offering all sorts of interesting information and answering our questions. If you are really into the Australian animals, consider the Magic Mammals experience! It was unbelievable! We fed and/or patted patted wombats, quolls, kangaroos, wallabies, squirrel gliders and was able to hold a koala. we also did a meet and greet with the komodo dragon, the boat ride and walked pretty much the whole park. We didn't do the croc farm tour because we will see crocodiles again in Darwin. Besides the provided photo holding the koala, we were able to get as many photos with our own cell phones as we wanted.

Loved every minute of this experience, although holding the little guy would have been a bonus. There was another area in the park to hold a koala but it was limited to twice a day and for a very limited amount of time. I was so excited to meet Beau and learn about him form his handler that I barely ate the breakfast, which was abundant. The handler was very knowledgeable. My hubby and I had the table for 2 right in front of the little guy. There were several other guests there for the breakfast as well but our time was later and so when they all left we had exclusive time which made for great photos.

Breakfast with the koalas was a wonderful, intimate experience with knowledgeable staff and a wonderful full breakfast. Harltey's Crocodile Park is a more intimate environment to see and learn about Australian animals than other parks we visited.

Hartley s crocodile aventure is a great place to discover snakes, crocodiles and koalas. We fully recommend this park! You could save lot of money if you come to the park by yourself.

I absolutely loved it! Such a beautiful and clean place. Amazing shows, who line up really good with one another. Loved the boat cruise!! But the best thing by far was The Attack Show! Such a cool croc and amazing, ballsy, trainer! He made me laugh so hard! And all I can think of now when I see a Cassowary is a Emu doing drag... Thank you so much for making me laughing my tits off!

An amazing experience. Ellen was a great guide. So much to see and learn. Would definitely recommend this to families as a fun way for the kids to see the rainforest. Lots of fun.

The canyoning / waterfall rappelling outing to Crystal Cascades was an absolute blast! It was my favorite activity of my 16 day trip. If you're looking for an exhilarating adventure this is the one. All of the guides were super knowledgeable, welcoming, and friendly. Your safety and fun are their top priority. Everything ran smoothly from registering, getting geared up (they supply everything you need), learning and practicing safety techniques, transport, and getting everyone through all of the features on the river. They also take epic pictures of your adventure that you can purchase afterwards. Highly recommend!
