from Port Douglas and Cairns

An excursion into the Atherton Tablelands above Cairns, this day and night tour enables you to experience wildlife in its natural environment from coastal to mountain rainforest.  The trip visits many different habitats, from lowland to highland tropical rainforest, each housing a remarkable concentration of flora and fauna. This is a great scenic tour and the best tour for seeing the widest range of native plants, mammals, reptiles and birds, all in their natural habitat!  As a day and night tour covering various elevations it enables you to truly experience the full wonder of the rainforest.  Experienced guides talk you through local history, soils, geography, environment, indigenous people, plants and wildlife and help with spotting animals.  Sightings typically include many birds, some endemic, the Musky Rat Kangaroo (the smallest and most primitive kangaroo - pictured abouve), Boyd's Forest Dragon and, at dusk, Australia's famous 'Duck Billed' Platypus.   After dinner you may see Lumholtz's Tree Kangaroo (occasionally), Lemuroid, Green and Herbert River Ringtail Possums and many other unusual mammals, insects and amphibians, some of which are found only here.  
The guide's interpretation is adjusted to suit individuals' own knowledge and understanding.  Most of Australia's wildlife is nocturnal and if you confine your wildlife viewing to the daytime, and to the coastal strip only,  you will miss so much.
Included 
Afternoon tea, dinner, light supper, use of spotlights, binoculars and reference material.
