As part of the tour, you will travel by coach from Cairns to Innisfail. The coach will stop at the Babinda Boulders for a catered picnic lunch. The Babinda Boulders is a place of spiritual significance for Aboriginal people, a popular swimming hole and picnic area, and is managed as a flora and fauna reserve. While you're there, you can opt to do the Devil's Pool Walk - a 1.3 kilometre return walk along Babinda Creek, leading you through the rainforest to two viewing platforms where the creek cascades down a series of spectacular waterfalls, granite boulders, and washpools. The cascading streams creates large pools of cool and refreshing mountain water, providing the perfect area for an afternoon swim.
On the drive between Cairns, Babinda, and Innisfail, you’ll pass through spectacular mountainous scenery as well as local sugar and banana farming communities.
