Carved out by the crater of an ancient volcano and encircled by a lush band of rainforest, Lake Barrine is a tranquil oasis within the Crater Lakes National Park. At the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Atherton Tablelands area, the lake serves as a popular recreational ground, with options for hiking, swimming, and boat cruises.
Brett was an excellent driver & tour guide. He conveyed information well, & was so organised we had a reasonable amount of time at the locations, & didn’t feel rushed. An interesting day tour.
It was a great day! Our guide Brett was such a charming and kind man and full of knowledge. The ride was smooth and pleasant. The places he took us to are really spectacular.
Was an amazing trip. The highlight for us was milla milla falls and the lovely morning tea at lake Barrine. Also the lunch at the little place at Milla Milla, gorgeous family and very welcoming
Being on a small group tour was great. We really enjoyed learning details about Rainforest life and the Atherton Tablelands. The Curtain Figtree was amazing and Lake Barrine was beautiful. Great Devonshire Tea in the Tea Rooms. Paronella Park was such an interesting place to visit and we could have spent more time there exploring the amazing gardens. Our driver, Michelle, did a wonderful job and we really enjoyed our day trip.
I have never done tours of any sort, however, this tour was absolutely AMAZING !!!! I was coming over to cairns for a holiday and I didn't really know what this tour was about, I just wanted to go sightseeing but this was way better than I would've ever expected. The tour guide we had was amazing, he was really informative, charismatic and all around great to listen to. He went above and beyond for us, as we went to the wrong pick-up location, he spent the next 15mins driving to find us. He was really nice and patient about it ! Our first stop was so beautiful, we had tea/coffee with the best scones you will ever eat. The scones were so soft and warm (best I've ever eaten), with a view that just took your breath away. He gave us time at each location to look around and really take in the scenery, did not rush us at all. My favourite was the waterfall stop, he told us about the different walks you could do and that you can go for a swim. It was the most beautiful site I had ever seen, we saw turtles and lizards, the water was refreshing and the view was beautiful. After we went to locally owned restaurant, that served us mushroom pasta and steak/lamb pie on a farm. The view was amazing and the food was delicious. The last stop was paronella park, the story behind it was great to hear and a must-see in cairns. Overall, this tour was the best part of my trip !!! I loved it and I am so happy that I booked this for my trip. If you have any doubts, please take it from me and JUST BOOK IT.
Enjoyable tour featuring beautiful and unique places.
It was a well-organised tour, and we saw many beautiful and unique places. Millaa Millaa Falls was spectacular, and Paronella Park was an interesting place to explore. We even saw a platypus and a cassowary! The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. However, the day was spoiled by allowing people to drink alcohol throughout the tour. By the end of the day, there were a number of drunk people who were loud and rowdy, which ruined the last couple of hours of the tour for the rest of us. There were teenagers on board too, so it didn't feel like an appropriate venue to allow excessive alcohol on board.
The trip to Barrine Lake,Millaa Millaa Falls, &Paronella Park was awesome. The whole experience was fantastic, the Driver, the people on the bus were great. Bur my highlight of the trip was the Paronella Park, a little disappointing that not see platypus as the shut off area to get to see them, but over all the experience was fantastic. The morning tea, lunch were also beautiful. I could not fault the trip except at Paronella Park the time wasted short. Could be an other hr longer just to enjoy the whole experience while you where there. In the time you could nit see all that you wanted to.like the tracks etc it was a little rushed to make the most of it. But over all you could not fault the day. Not even the weather. . Thank you.
Had a fabulous tour guide. Fun filled tour. Giilies Ranges, Atherton Tablelands, Lake Barrine and a great morning tea, Curtain Fig Tree, Millaa Mllaa Falls, Bengal Falls and finally Paronella Park. Great day
