Hartley’s Crocodile Farm is such a fun day out, something we always recommend to travelers visiting Cairns or Australia. The whole park is very relaxed for you to wonder around at your own pace. Wear comfortable shoes and I highly recommend a hat and some water. The heat can get stifling under the shade sails during the shows just due to the lack of airflow so be aware of that if going on a warm day with kids or older members. That said, you can easily spend the whole day here exploring with a number of great shows to watch as well as the included boat ride around the lagoon. Our fave though is always the 3 pm Croc Attack Show… definitely must see! If you can stick around then it’s so worth it! The café is surprisingly good too, with a solid range of both hot or fresh food options at I’d say reasonably fair prices for an attraction park like this. My only gripe with Hartleys and the reason for four stars instead of five… is the constant state of the bathrooms. I have been coming here for 8yrs now and sadly they’re consistently gross, which is a shame because the rest of the park is so well looked after. I understand it’s busy but sending someone to clean frequently would honestly go so far. Still, it’s a fantastic experience overall. As our Texan friends recently put it… It’s a great way to see a lot of Australias animals close up in one place in one day!

I have never come across such beautiful staff in my life. From the vibrant lady at reception desk, to the entertaining boat guys, the enthusiastic croc rangers, the funny photographers, Amy the ranger aswell. All staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. They all have lovely personalities and very sweet. I noticed how comfortable they made everyone feel around us. So proud of you all. Thank YOU ALL! ♥️

Great experience with a lot of things to see. Not only crocs, but also snakes, koalas and a lot more! Loved the snake and croc shows. Super crowded on school holidays. 6 sits in a row on the boat, so if you are placed last you are likely to be far away from the action behind people trying to film. Expect queues everywhere and maybe skip one with BYO lunch.

Our visit to Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures was one of the highlights of our trip to Tropical North Queensland! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how well-organized the park was and how passionate the staff were about the animals and conservation. The boat cruise on Hartley’s Lagoon was absolutely amazing — getting so close to huge saltwater crocodiles in their natural habitat was both thrilling and fascinating! The guides were knowledgeable and entertaining, sharing lots of interesting facts about crocodile behavior and how the park helps with conservation efforts. We also loved the various wildlife shows throughout the day — especially the croc feeding and snake presentation. Each one was engaging, informative, and fun for all ages. It was great to see how well the animals are cared for and how much the staff clearly love what they do. All in all, Hartley’s Crocodile Adventures is a must-visit attraction for anyone visiting Cairns or Port Douglas. It’s the perfect mix of excitement, education, and authentic Australian wildlife encounters. We left with big smiles, great photos, and a new appreciation for these incredible creatures!

Harley’s Croc Adv was out of this world. One of the most amazing and exciting places we’ve visited as a family. The shows are so amazing and a must do for all kids as well. It teaches you so much. And guys who do the show are Brady and informative as well. In face I strongly believe it should be a must do for all kids. If you’re in Australia you must visit this place.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommend! Great staff and an awesome experience! Such good value for money at around $49 per person — we had an amazing day. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. There were lots of crocodiles and plenty of other things to see. We really enjoyed our time and would highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Cairns. A great, cheap, fun day out!

Because I care about animals, I wouldn’t go to a zoo, but this animal park gives its animals plenty of space to walk around freely, and they also keep protected species. At first, I was a little put off because it felt like the park was mainly designed for families and children—but maybe we just visited on a busy day. You can easily spend half a day here and see and learn about so many animals. And I don’t just mean crocodiles, although the crocodile feeding was spectacular. I actually enjoyed simply walking around at my own pace even more, because it gave me the chance to see many Australian animals up close. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The only downside was the food—it looked sloppy and unhealthy. Considering the quality and quantity of the experience, I found the entrance fee was quite reasonable!

It's a lovely long beach for a walk patrolled so safe to swim within the flags but oh so windy on the day we went. We had coffee and cake just across from the beach. Everywhere is so busy different from the Ellis beach vibe.

Beautiful beach good for swimming and surfing. Lifeguard watch area for safe swimming. Kids and enjoy playing in water and also some play area on the beach.Parking a bit difficult on the beach but can get spots at the side streets. And also there is a place for shower and change.

Pretty beach! Small street of shops and restaurants. Recommend 'Lucky Fish' Fish Box. Most delicious Pandan & Coconut icecream & icecream shop too! Easy 45min 50c bus ride from Cairns CBD

Beautiful beach ❤️ very picturesque, unfortunately you can't swim due to crocodiles, but very pretty to look at. Great jetty and food options along the Esplanade

Luv Palm Cove. Absolutely beautiful place. Lovely walk out to the pier North and a great long walk South, access via Triton St, behind Nu Nu Restaurant. Lots a really nice foodie places including an Irish Pub, Espresso & Co & Vivo!

Beautiful place. Plenty of water points to wash your feet and have shower. Tables for BBQ etc, I liked there is grassy bit you can lie on too.

Beautiful beach, definitely a must visit. You can swim, fish or simply just sitting around enjoying the view with a cup of coffee ☕️

Great train ride, good views and at the scenic locations the train even slows down to enjoy the views! The combination of train ride and the gondola is not cheap, but its an unique experience with a rich history.

We took the railway up and the cable car down. It was a wonderful experience and we enjoyed the commentary about the railway and the views. It was well organised and there were clean restrooms and a cafe at the station while you wait for the train. Everything ran efficiently and was well organised. We highly recommend this experience A+++

We took the railway up, and the skyrail down (2 ad + 2 tweens). It was a stunning trip up to Kuranda. The landscape is beautiful. The handouts are great, and it was really nice to follow along with the map, corresponding to the audio voice over at points of interest. There was a brief stop at Barron Falls to allow a better view of the waterfall. A truly lovely experience.

A wonderful trip to Kuranda. We were fortunate to get Gold pass at the last moment. It was very relaxing with drink and morning/afternoon tea service. Very comfy lounge seating. Would recommend 👌

Lovely train ride from Cairns to Kuranda with stunning views. So much history & very informative. Journey takes 2hrs one way. I paid $85 for a return ticket. I had to reschedule my booking multiple times, which wasn't an issue. Definitely recommend booking in advance.

A truly spectacular and scenic journey! The Kuranda Scenic Railway is a must-do for anyone visiting Cairns. The old-school train carriages are charming, and the ride through the rainforest is breathtaking. The views of Barron Falls are incredible, and it's amazing to see the engineering of the track. A perfect way to experience the beauty of the Wet Tropics.

Best views are on the right side of the train. Unfortunately, you won't have a say in it. Seats are preassigned. Also, if you are up to it, get down at Barron Falls and do a trek to Kuranda village. It takes you about 45 minutes to get there.

Wonderful break away from mainstream worries. It's not a perfect Tropical Island Retreat but nice and laid back. Needs some tweaking like an ice machine and a wider range of food options. (2 burgers cost us $57) Staff are great. Snorkeling is good over the coral reefs. Only 40 minutes from Cairns. Bush walks are a bit more difficult than rated. Overall, good value stay

Beautiful island which I’ve spent a bit of time filming on. Snorkelling is great, the coral restoration work they do with the coral trees is essential and important work as well as the turtle rescue. A must visit when you’re in the Cairns area

Beautiful piece of paradise. They way the island beach faces the north sun, whilst the island shelters the beach from the southerlies, is just perfect. A1 snorkeling over amazing corals and fish species. Turtles cruising by in the bay.

Great island to be explored and close to cairns. It takes you about 50 min to get over by speed boat. You can snorkel and hike and the island has quite of a variety of Flora and fauna. Walk up to the light house is very steep and slippery when wet.

We booked a day trip to Fitzroy Island through the Fitzroy Island resort as there is more ferry times and options than the tourist day trips operators. We had a great day exploring Nudey Beach, snorkelling the massive walls of coral having luck at Foxys and just absorbing the pure beauty of the island. Absolutely worth the day trip !! We saw a whale and her calf on the way back and the ferry slowed so we could see them and not disturb them, it was an amazing experience and wonderful end to our day.

A nice 45 minute ferry ride from Cairns. The friendliest staff and a very relaxed island to just relax. You can literally snorkel with Turtle's straight of the beach. And the summit walk is awesome. And don't forget to book a tour at the turtle Rehabilitation centre.

Very good if the weather's on your side. The hike to the summit is a must-do, as well as a visit to Nudey Beach (despite the name, you should bring clothes) if you're not tired after that, or if you're staying multiple days, go snorkeling. The coral is nice enough if you haven't seen the Great Barrier Reef yet. Be sure to inquire at the dive shop where the best places are. Foxy's Bar offers great burgers for cheap. Sky blue water, coral beaches, pals trees, relaxed atmosphere. Like I said, all you need is the weather.

I visited on a Sunday, and the place was lively with people of all ages,from small children to elderly couples. By around 1pm, more and more people had arrived to sunbathe, and it got to the point where there were hardly any spots left to sit. Still, the pool itself wasn’t too crowded, and it was a very comfortable and relaxing experience overall.🏊‍♂️ While sitting by the pool and chatting with a friend, we noticed an older man across from us staring in our direction for nearly an hour. As we were getting ready to leave, he suddenly approached and said he was going to teach us how to swim. We politely declined, saying we had to go, and he walked away. To be honest, it didn’t leave a very good impression, and I would suggest being cautious if someone like that approaches you. It seemed like he was specifically targeting people who looked like tourists. Frankly, it felt like he may have had other intentions, possibly just wanting to touch someone. Other than that, there were no real issues with the place. Some people say public pools can have an unpleasant smell, but I didn’t notice any urine smell at all The depth of the water goes up to 1.55m in the deeper areas, so you can comfortably submerge up to your neck, which made it even more enjoyable.

Loved comming here on my holiday. Such a great way to have free fun. There are toilets and showers and if you are travelling solo like me or you need somewhere to put your stuff you can use the pay lockers.

Beautiful one day, perfect the next! 🌴✨ The Cairns Esplanade Lagoon is absolutely stunning — crystal-clear waters, great facilities, and such a relaxing vibe. Perfect spot for a swim, sunbake, or just taking in the tropical atmosphere. A must-visit when in Cairns!

A delightful clean and friendly space in the middle of the city. Great views, great atmosphere and just a lovely place to hang out for an hour

Awesome like the best of a beach and the best of a pool all put together. Make sand castles without the waves crashing up and knocking them down. Walk into the pool with sand at your feet. Plenty of cafes and shady grass spots around to. Plus it has a manned life guard tower

The Cairns Esplanade Lagoon is hands down one of the best public swimming pools I’ve been to! It’s a fantastic place to cool off, especially with the tropical heat. The location is perfect—right on the waterfront, offering stunning views of the Coral Sea. The pool itself is huge, well-maintained, and has plenty of shallow areas, making it great for families with kids as well as adults just looking to relax. One of the things I love most is that it’s completely free! It’s rare to find such a high-quality public facility at no cost. There are lifeguards on duty, which adds a layer of safety, and the water is always crystal clear. The surrounding area is also great, with BBQ facilities, shaded spots, and plenty of seating for those who just want to enjoy the atmosphere.

I loved every second of it. The Great Barrier Reef has been on my bucket list for a long time, and I finally got the chance to come to Cairns to see it. I was told scuba diving on the outer reef was the best to do, but most tours required a scuba licence or gave a lot of training time and little scuba time. This tour offered the outer reef with a marine biologist whilst still snorkelling as an additional option. We were blessed with good weather and calm waters on this day. It was awesome. As a beginner snorkeller, this tour was perfect. I gained confidence in the morning snorkelling in shallow waters and seeing beautiful fish and some colour. Then, I went out to the outer reef with the biologist in the afternoon, and I was blown away with what I saw and learned. It was stunning and a real experience of the reef. In my opinion, the time was just enough as a new reef explorer. 1 hour is quite a while snorkelling in deep water if you're not used to it. I would love to do it again, though! Also, by hanging on the pier after the last session, I saw 4 turtles, 3 black tipped sharks, and jumping fish! That was a reel bonus. I don't know if that's common, but the opportunity to catch something swimming by in crystal clear water is there as well. The buffet was awesome to boot. I highly recommend the tour. There are hidden markets and a beautiful walk on the island too that are part of the resort, I think. And Green Island itself? It is an absolute gem. A natural beauty that I'm so glad to have visited and explored.

I recently did a day tour to Green Island with Big Cat Green Island Reef Cruises, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The staff were friendly, professional and full of helpful information about the reef and the local wildlife. I particularly enjoyed Anzac's marine biology talks on the way to Green Island and back. The boat was comfortable and well-maintained, making the trip smooth and enjoyable. When we got to the island, the staff assisted us onto the glass bottom boat and submarine, both with unforgettable views of the fish, turtles and reef. Once on Green Island, the scenery was breathtaking. The tropical rainforest is breathtaking. There was plenty to do. Overall, this tour exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Cairns who wants a memorable day exploring the Green Barrier Reef and Green Island!

We took the half day tour and it was perfect for my family. We picked from a mix of glass bottom tour, semi sub, and snorkeling. For beginners, a half day gives you enough time to snorkel at both beaches on Green Island + the semi sub. Alternatively, you can do the glass bottom boat + semi sub if you’d rather not swim. We saw turtles, sting rays, and hundreds of fish on the semi-sub; saw fewer fish with snorkeling. Thanks for a great day!

My wife and I had a great time with the crew visiting Green Island. Highly recommend the full day tour with snorkeling of the reefs, the glass boat and adventuring around the island. Crew on board were friendly and knowledge and helped us feel safe.

We booked the full day Green Island Tour and had a fantastic time snorkelling. No shortage of turtles and we were even lucky enough to see whales. The professional young team on the boat went out of their way to make the experience enjoyable for everyone. Although the vessel is on the older side, the amenities, including toilets, were spotless. The bar also has reasonably priced drinks, such as Corona beer, for $9 per bottle. Drinking water is free which is an added bonus.

The crew were awesome. We did go on a day when it was quite windy but if you sit down and enjoy the ride it’s nice. We were given our snorkelling gear when we got on the boat so we had to hang on to them the whole time. Next time we will get our gear when we get to the island. The buffet lunch was a good feed just b4 our snorkelling adventure.

Amazing trip over the green island. On time and the staff were very helpful and accomodating with our pram and toddler. Prepared us with details of the day so we didn’t miss anything for the half day tour. Highly recommend the glass bottom boat tour!

I nice place to go and exercise with friends and family. A sloppy up and down path get you most excited and challenging to reach the destination. A wonderful waterfall comes out with a cool water flow would likely refresh you after exhausting effort to reach it out.

The walking trail is sealed concrete the whole way which makes for easy walking. Trail does have many undulations so make sure you are fairly fit to get the most enjoyment out of the walk. Nice swimming spot at the top of the trail.

Beginner-friendly, easily accessible fully paved track, with a few swimming spots and amazing lookouts. Well worth the leg burn.

Decent walk. The path is all concrete - not a dirt track. The path is quite steep in many places to make sure that you are wearing shoes with a decent grip. The waterfall is right at the end and you can climb down onto the rocks. Take care - it is steep and can get slippery. Reccomend as a moderate challenge. It took about 1.5 hours with a few stops for photos.

What a beautiful place for a swim! The walk to the top falls is about 3kms on a tarred services road, it is quite hilly in spots so be prepared to sweat a little. Very similar feel to the Babinda Boulders and just as dangerous so take caution if you decide to swim at all, very strong unpredictable currents in parts but lovely spot to swim at the top. Make sure you bring a picnic to make it a lovely day out “Jonique Life” Follow our journey around Australia on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube as we highlight wonderful experiences and magical places you can add to your ever growing bucket list.

40 minute walk up a paved path with a few grunty climbs but well rewarded with an awesome swim at the base of the beautiful Clamshell Waterfall. Stunning.

A great walk. Definitely not easy so wear a pair of decent shoes and carry a water bottle. It took us around 45mins to get to the end of the track. The view is amazing up there 🙌

As a seasoned traveler who has visited hundreds of attractions worldwide, I found The Crystal Caves in Atherton, Queensland, to be a delightful gem. Full disclosure: I didn’t explore the actual Crystal Cave due to the entry fee, which felt a bit steep for my family’s budget. However, my review is based on the shop front, its products, and the geode-cracking experience, all of which were fantastic. The shop is a treasure trove for crystal and gem enthusiasts. It’s well-stocked with an impressive variety of crystals, gems, and related items that are visually stunning and appealing to collectors, casual browsers, or anyone with a curiosity for geology. The displays are engaging, and there’s plenty of cool stuff for kids to explore, making it a great spot for families to learn about crystals in a fun, hands-on way. While I would have loved to experience the Crystal Cave itself, we opted for the geode-cracking activity, which we’d seen online before our visit. This was the highlight of our trip! The experience starts at around $30 for a small geode, perfect for kids, with larger options priced around $90, $100, and up to $300 for a massive one. The process of cracking open the geode was thrilling and incredibly fun, especially for the kids. I won’t post photos of them, but the sheer excitement on their faces when they saw the sparkling crystals inside was priceless. It’s an activity that delivers great value and creates lasting memories. The young woman who assisted us was exceptional. Her customer service skills were outstanding professional, friendly, and engaging, especially for someone so young. She deserves a pay rise for making our visit so memorable! Even without entering the cave, The Crystal Caves is well worth a visit. If you’re within a couple hundred kilometers of Atherton, I highly recommend stopping by to explore the shop and try the geode-cracking experience. It’s a unique and enjoyable outing for families, crystal enthusiasts, or anyone looking for something different.

Amazingly informative and beautiful created caves with real crystals displayed. Kids will love it! Beautiful friendly staff that went above and beyond for my son and made his experience so magical. I can't recommend this place enough! What a beautiful journey! Crystal shop attached where you can open your own geode!

I was expecting to see stones, rocks and of course crystal as stated in their ads but I got really impressed how they presented the Crystal Cave. Went here with my family, entrance fee was affordable. You'll be greeted by their friendly and accommodating staffs. Lines of crystal were on display and for sale. You can also crack open ( for a fee of course) a piece of stone were it reveals if you got yourself a type of crystal inside. You'll be given a headgear torch and you can also opt for a headphone so you can listen to the narrative of the crystal you are looking at. Nicely presented place and area to roam around and see different types of crytals taken/ found from different places in earth. Great to take photos as lightings creats a nice reflection on the crytals.

This business offers an engaging experience, and it's easy to get lost in the fun. The staff members are incredibly warm and welcoming, creating a positive atmosphere. You can tell they genuinely enjoy their work and interacting with customers. The interactive elements make the visit feel unique and memorable. Everything seems well-organized, making it a smooth experience from start to finish. Overall, the quality is certainly great, and it's a place I'd recommend to anyone. It was truly a good visit.

This is an Aladdin’s Cave of crystals & geodes. There are heaps of crystals, jewellery, trinkets & awesome things to buy. You can pay $25 for a self-guided tour in the caves & this includes a head torch, an APP to help you identify the crystals & you can spend as long as you want to. You can purchase a geode from countries eg Uruguay, Mexico, Brazil etc. You can then ‘Crack the Geode’ to see the gorgeous crystal inside. You can take your cracked geode home with you. The staff were all helpful, friendly, knowledgable & enthusiastic.

Certainly worth the visit. The shop has loads of jewellery crystals and stones to purchase, as well as geo rocks. The staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. We paid to go through the cave - which is a great way to display the collected crystals from over the world and educate on the different types. Our dogs were able to go into the store as well as through the display. This experience far exceeded our expectation. We were able to purchase a rock to split and be the 1st people to see the crystals inside.

If you like crystals and rocks, then The Crystal Caves is a great place to visit and spend as much time as you like just enjoying what's on display or looking for an interesting piece for the growing collection at home. Well worth the visit

Full board walk to and around the tree makes for excellent viewing. Very short walk around.

Definitely worth a quick stop! Very impressive to see in person. There is a short boardwalk that allows you to walk around the tree. Just a few minutes off the main road.

Magnificent huge fig tree. Nice easy walk okay place to visit if your going past or in Atherton.

That's one amazing tree! Worth a stop! Bring bug spray!

Lovely little walk along the board walk. Fascinating sight to see the figtree form as it has, and established overtime.

Easy walk, very impressive tree!

The Curtain Fig Tree is a natural wonder that leaves visitors in awe of its majestic presence. While the walk to reach the tree is relatively short, the experience is nothing short of amazing. As you approach the Curtain Fig Tree, its sheer size and unique appearance command attention. The intricate root system that cascades from its branches creates a mesmerizing curtain-like effect, making it a sight to behold. The short walk to reach the tree allows for a close-up encounter with this natural marvel. It's a great opportunity to appreciate the intricate details of the tree and the surrounding rainforest environment. While some visitors may wish for a longer trail or more extensive walking experience, it's important to remember that the main attraction is the tree itself. The relatively short walk ensures that the focus remains on this remarkable natural phenomenon. For those seeking a longer adventure, nearby hiking trails and attractions in the area provide additional opportunities to explore the beauty of the rainforest. In conclusion, the Curtain Fig Tree is a natural wonder that impresses with its size and unique root structure. While the walk to reach the tree may be short, the experience is undeniably amazing. Take the time to appreciate the beauty and intricacies of this magnificent tree and consider exploring other nearby trails to enhance your rainforest adventure.

The Babinda Boulders are just gorgeous! Such a beautiful spot to stop and stretch your legs while travelling. The water is so clear and inviting — definitely worth a swim in the safe area. Super relaxing and peaceful, I’ll 100% be coming back next time I’m in the area

Great place to stop if you are doing a road trip. Good short and easy walk to stretch legs and have a good swim. The walking paths are clear and have info about the place, beautiful views and great safe swimming areas.

This was a super impressive stop as well. Make sure you pack your lunch. You could spend an entire day here in the beautiful cool fresh water. The hike up and down to see the various falls was awesome too. They have stopped you gaining access to any of the dangerous pools as 19 people have died here over the last 20 years or so.

So we thought this would be some rocks in a river, and went really because we’ve seen pretty much all the attractions in the Cairns area. Top tip: GO HERE, IT’S AMAZING. There is a well maintained walking track that runs for about 450 metres that takes you to one of the most magnificent views I have ever seen on this planet. These are not rocks in a river: these are wonders of creation. Please, just go, it’s amazing.

We had a long drive to get here and to be honest it was disappointing. Maybe if it had been a warmer day and we could have made use of the swimming hole it may have seemed better. The walk seemed a bit too easy with the bitumised path. I think I prefer it a bit more natural having to climb over boulders and rough paths it just makes it more interesting. The area is lovely and the rain Forrest magnificent, the scenery is amazing but after our day at Murray falls this was a bit of a let down

A relatively short walk and beautiful river with interesting rocks. There are places to swim but there are also sections warning you not to swim for good reason.

So worth visiting, and a great place to camp and stay for a few days. Good toilets and shower facilities near the car park. The swimming hole is 5 mins walk, but the boulders are a 10-15min walk down an undulating sealed pathway through tropical rainforest. Many warning signs explaining the dangers of jumping in disallowed parts of the river where also very good.

This Fall and surrounding area was Beautiful. We encountered 2 little black snakes at the end of the steps. There are public toilets and a landing to stand an see the fall.. such a pretty place. Large car park to swing your car around.

The falls are beautiful, but be prepared for coach loads of tourists and instagrammers looking for that perfectly posed pic. There are toilets here - we had a quick walk and moved on as the crowds were a bit much.

23/9/25. Went for a drive out to Atherton Tablelands during our stay at Port Douglas. Decided to drive the extra to Millaa Millaa Falls, allow 2hrs non stop from PD. I imagine it could get crowded, fortunately for us not so at the time. Definitely go for a swim out to and behind the waterfall, a nice experience and worthwhile even though you have to negotiate the rocks behind the waterfall curtain.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beautiful and peaceful spot! Mila Mila Falls is a lovely place to visit — easy to access, surrounded by lush rainforest, and perfect for a quick swim or picnic. The walking tracks make it a great stop for families and nature lovers exploring the Tablelands.

Nice waterfall, but it's very touristy. The area around the waterfall had been completely decorated to receive tourism in a good way. It doesn't feel natural anymore, but it's still beautiful.

Breathtaking waterfall that you can walk behind, the water is cool and refreshing 😌 it’s a bit rocky to get in so better to where shoes and be careful where your walking. Enjoy! ☺️ 💗

Millaa Millaa Falls is a beautifully maintained natural attraction with stunning scenery and a peaceful atmosphere. An excellent spot for photography and a worthwhile stop in the Atherton Tablelands.

A lovely quaint little place in the middle of nowhere, at the end of a narrow single lane winding road. It’s very popular! Seating inside with a few tables on an outside deck as well as under trees picnic tables. Great little meals, Mungalli cheeses, yoghurt, ice cream etc. Reasonable prices too. A must visit if you are in the area.

Parking might be limited. Milkshakes were very good. We liked the lasagna. The chutney in the ploughman's lunch is really really good but we wish the bread was a bigger portion cos we ran out of bread much earlier than we could pair it with all the tasty cheeses.

I came across this place whilst visiting neighboring waterfalls. I got myself some cake and a cup of coffee. Always the best combination possible. The cake and the coffee was good and would come again for other things they have to offer.

Wow... what a beautiful quaint place. Beautiful views, tables and chairs for sitting under the trees having your meals. Lots of sitting inside and out on the deck for a coffee and cakes. Hats off to a lovely Lady behind the counter she was doing an amazing job as it was soooo busy, fantastic customer service she is definitely a asset to this place 💝. (14thJune 2025) Sorry I don't know this ladys name🤗 Cheese, Yoghurt, cakes, Chocolates, jams, ice creams...etc so much to buy and taste. Stunning place for something special.

Always a recommended stop when travelling the Palmerston, the ploughman's platter is a must, the scones are stunning and the coffee is great. Do yourself a favour.

Loved our visit. The ploughmans lunch was really nice and the milk, cheese & yoghurts are so good. Scones jam & cream - 10/10!!

Stopped in and had the platter for 2, really nice. Great view and easy to park the caravan out the front.

What an amazing place, not just the history. All the staff, from checking in, our guide Bill and the cafe staff on the way out. Now the fish, standing and feeding them you will think they are big but when you get back up the top.... You realize how big.

We really enjoyed the walk around Paronella Park and everything the site has to offer — it’s a beautiful place with a lot of charm. That said, we felt the price is pretty steep for anyone who just wants to do a quick visit and take some photos. The cost of the overnight stay feels fair, but for a short visit we wouldn’t come back at that price. A number of the monuments were also under repair, and the many “no trespassing” signs take away from the atmosphere a bit. We understand why they’re needed, but it still affects the vibe. It would be great if the park offered different pricing options — for example, a half-day pass, a full-day pass with the history tour, and a separate rate for the night stay. This would make the experience more accessible and better matched to the type of visit people want.

Unbelievably good! Do yourself a favour and check this place out. Incredible story, beautiful castle and gardens. Fantastic customer service from everyone we encountered but Bas our guide was amazing! Great to hear from Mark the owner as well. Loved it!!

I haven't been there for about 20 years, but it was as great as back then. Very interesting information about the family who built this fantastic park and about the glamorous times they had there but also the setbacks they had because of the big floods. Hi and have a look and get set back in time 😊

Incredible story behind this place. Loved it! Wouldn't have been the same experience without the tour guide. It's a must... They are so full of energy and know the Jose Paronella story inside out. Fab music and light show after dark too.

Paronella Park is absolutely stunning! I could visit over and over and never get tired of its beauty. The breathtaking scenery is only part of the experience, the vision and genius behind its creation is truly inspiring. A great tip: go in the afternoon and stay for the evening tour. Seeing the park lit up at night is magical and well worth the wait. Best of all, it’s of no extra cost, just call ahead to book your spot for the evening tour.

Absolutely a Gorgeous place to visit. We didn't do the guided tour as you need to take photos after the history talk. We walked and took our time looking and feeding fish. The surrounding fauna and natural bushland was spectacular and jaw dropping. Worth the visit. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Very refreshing swim at bottom of waterfall, plus a beautiful view from the lookout. Looks like a lovely place to camp. However, road leading to waterfall was very bad quality especially if you don’t have a 4X4 - lots of pot holes and very rough. Also lots of persistent big flies 🪰

Can't swim here but if ya want bang for ya buck pictures and just enjoi the grace of nature and her power there is a walk way and view points.. swimming is accessible further down the creek

I only stopped in for the day but I'm keen to head back for a camping experience there. There is no wifi/reception so make sure you've booked a site before you get there if you want to camp. I had NO PHONE SIGNAL anywhere around the place for about 10 - 15mins heading in there. Beautiful board walk to the Falls. And a 1.8km walk through the forest to the top of Falls.

Gorgeous swimming and camping spot. You need to book if you are camping. note that the road up is really bumpy and gravel - may not be suitable for all cars. Bring repellent - mozzies everywhere.

A beautiful waterfall in a very nice national park with camping facilities Well worth the visit I would like to see it in the wet season

Cool camping place with toilets and BBQs. Plenty of trees for shade and you can take a dip in the water from the Falls.

Lovely waterfalls, swimming area and Camp Grounds. We will be back to camp.

Nice hike to the bottom of the waterfall! Out and back hike with 250 meters of decline and obviously the 250 incline back to the top again. In total 3km.I guess this track can be quite slippery when it rains!

One of our favourite waterfalls in FNQ — if you time the light just right, the falls create their own rainbow. The road in is suitable for all vehicles, but expect tight corners, single-lane sections, and the occasional Brahman wandering across the road. Hikes are epic, just be prepared with plenty of water sunscreen and bug spray as they are affectionate little critters.

Great place to look at the amazing fall. I’m happy I took a detour after work to come check it out. The drive is very winding and please take it slow. The view was spectacular. Highly recommended.

Loads of warnings before you do this walk....which was kind of off putting ? But we did it !!! Super rewarding....maybe took 1 hour return to the first main viewing spot...or less. Stunning views from down the bottom...just be prepared for the big climb back up!!!!! Bring water:)

The view from the top is beautiful. However be wary that the walk is very difficult, especially on the way back. You absolutely need proper shoes and lots of water. We walked to the bottom of the water fall and while the view is beautiful it is impossible to swim or stay for too long because of the large swarms of horse flies (stinging). The horse flies really ruined our experience at the bottom. Maybe it is better in other seasons. I would recommend going only until the last lookout point (picture) which is really beautiful as the rest is not worth the pain of the flies.

Spectacular one of the best waterfalls I’ve visited. The walk to it only 2kms but it’s steep and rocky and would be very challenging down and up if not very fit. But is definitely worth the walk

Beautiful adventure, keep eyes away rocks on steps and required runner shoes or mountain shoes. More harder to get up the steps. Great experiences.

Great spot, walking distance to town through Tyto Wet Lands board walk. Great feed at Lee's the Original Pub with no Beer.

The center is a must visit when you’re in Ingham QLD. It’s located on the southern side of the main town just a short walk from the library and Cole’s. They offer free coffee and te with movies and activities in and around town. They have free wifi and a low cost camp behind the center just $15 a night. Make sure you get your pass spots are limited. Just out the back is a magical spot with turtles and some times a croc or two that they have named. Well worth a visit

beautiful Lucinda, a place to access Hichinbrook Island.

Hinchinbrook Visitor Information Centre is a must-visit place when travelling in the area. It is conveniently located next to Bruce Highway, in Ingham, just next door to TYTO Wetlands. The Centre's modern design building is clearly signposted & easy to spot. It is relatively recently constructed and fits very naturally into the environment. Along with the usual Information Centre things like maps and brochures, it has quite a nice interpretive display with lots of historical facts and photos, the bird's nests display etc and an interactive display (I particularly liked the birds' photos-sounds display, when you press the button with bird' name, the photo become highlighted on the display & you can hear its call). There is TYTO Self-Contained RV Park just behind Info Centre. Permits are $15 per vehicle per night (May 2024). Parking is strictly a 3-night max. (Vehicles are required to be self-contained. Toilet, shower, washing & cooking facilities must be contained within the vehicle). Leah, the lady working in the Centre, was most helpful. Her local knowledge helped us to plan our trip beautifully from the places to visit to where the best to have lunch/dinner. We were surprised to learn that TYTO Wetlands these days has several resident saltwater crocodiles, one of which is around 4m. This information changed our plans in regards to where to walk (I visited TYTO Wetlands a few times before Covid, but there never had been any salties there. I spent many enjoyable hours walking & bird-watching. Not any more apparently...). We were told that local authorities had no plans to relocate crocs, saying "Since it is a crocodile country, let them live there". There are a number of croc warning signs put up all over the place. Another change was the installation of several elevated boardwalks, the construction of the observation tower & cafe (which was closed when we visited, but apparently a must-visit place). That is all great news. There is also fresh coffee & some small snacks available (free of charge). That is very nice (especially coffee). Our visit was interrupted by a small group of aboriginal children who chose the Information Centre as a playground & place to eat (those snacks I described before). It seems they had a very good time loudly running all around, grabbing & dropping things, spilling drinks etc.... Leah was very kind, friendly & patient with all visitors. I highly recommend the Hinchinbrook-TYTO Wetlands-Ingham Visitor Information Centre. You will get information that only locals can know.

An excellent place to drop in and get information on the many things to do in this area. A shame to just drive through Ingham without spending a day or two to see the sights. The staff at the information centre are very friendly and helpful.

The best Visitor Info centre I have ever seen, helpful staff, free tea/coffee (driver reviver station), kids friendly info, lots of brochures about the entire region (Townsville to Cairns), toilets and access to the TYTO wetlands (they sell turtle food). There is parking for larger caravans and a dump point.

Great info centre, interactive displays, friendly staff.... Kids passport stamps available at this centre.

Was a great couple days at camp ground. A nice walk to Falls trail, explore into forestry areas, say hi to the turtles, plenty of bird life.

Magical! Highly recommend. We went in December just after heavy rain! It was stunning, recommend after a few days rain.

Pleasant walk to Jourama falls, mostly along a path with some steps. Not a lot of water this time of year (August). Some Birdlife around.

A beautiful spot to relax and unwind in the rock pools and waterfalls. Only a relatively short walk to get to the rock pools and well worth it.

Cool place, short 3km hike with a steep part at the end. You can walk further up the falls on the rocks. Saw a snake there too.

Beautiful views at every stage of this hike. Make sure to wear bug repellent because the march flies are horrendous, and bring plenty of water for when you're hiking up to the lookout. Saw the local brush turkeys and some curious turtles came to check out what we doing. Well worth the trip.

Nice falls and rock pools. Bush walking track is well maintained. Visited in August. Dry conditions but water still flowing. 6km off Bruce Highway with about 3km of good gravel road. In the wet season, the two fords may become impassible after rain

This is a grade 3 moderate trail. There are steps at the end but they are not steep steps. My husband with arthritux knees made it to the top without much difficulty. Koalas on the trail, great history and views.

The trail is uphill, and the final part can feel quite challenging if you’re not very fit or have trouble walking. But the view is absolutely stunning, and you might even spot some koalas along the way 🥰🐨

Definitely well worth the walk .There is so much history to be explored here along with amazing 360 degree views. Spot a koala along way if ya lucky.. dirt walking trail all the way, lots of steps closer to the top, and access to Florence and Arthur bay.

Unbelievably hard walk that went for miles. Lots of hills and uneven stairs to navigate. Only advantage are incredible views of Townsville and other islands. Done it now so I can relax.

A moderate uphill walk. Beautiful scenery. If you see some sticks forming an arrow it means someone has seen a koala near by in that direction. But beware of the snakes.

Easy to moderate walk. Not much to see of the remains but the views are amazing Saw two wild koalas in the middle of the day as well. There was also a water refill point towards the start of the walk which was fab!

Amazing views and I got to see a koala! The track is easy to climb and has drinking water available at one spot. There are no toilets though. It is very popular with families as well. It's best to rent a car and travel at your own pace else you will end up waiting for bus.

Had great day here. Good walking tracks, great swimming holes if you follow the creek.

This must be one of the most amazing places we have been to. It's definitely worth the visit, and we will be back. Bit about Paluma - Paluma is a very special place.  Nestled in misty upland rainforest at the crest of the coastal range, the village is embedded in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area and surrounded by National Parks. It is a welcome respite from the summer heat of Townsville and during the winter you can smell the smoke from wood stoves throughout the village.

Beautiful place to visit for the day or to camp over night. As it is a national park you need to book ahead, but it is quite cheap & is an honesty thing. It is clean with drop dunnies, a cold shower, taps & beautiful grassy camp sites with free gas bbqs. There is a hike that takes you on a cemented path, through bush, bubbling creeks & a view of a waterfall. I would definitely recommend this place & will be back again

Such a beautiful place to visit when in Townsville. A 40 min drive and you’re in a place in the clouds which is at least 10 degrees cooler than Townsville itself. We did the Triple Falls hike which includes a rope abseil down to a gorgeous waterfall

Gorgeous spot. Water slides will be awesome after some rain, was a bit dry when we were there but still managed some ultimate wedgies!

Nice place! Bitumen all the way to the little crystal creek and to the rockslide. Have wonderful swimming spots. There's campgrounds if you want to stay for few days.

Paluma has a wide variety of birds, wild life and many good walking tracks its not a big place and a 2 day visit would be more then enough to explore most of it. Birthday falls and Lake Paluma are worth a visit as you can find the cossawary bird if you are lucky. We stayed at Fatima cottage in Paluma which was basic but the owners Bill & Lauren where the best hosts ever and very willing to help and tell us all about the area.

We had a wonderful half day sailing out of Townsville to Magnetic Island with Big Mama Sailing. Captain Lisa is warm and friendly and expertly handles her yacht. Assistant Sophie also made the day with her great conversation and friendliness. A swim in a sheltered bay, whale and dolphin spotting plus seeing a turtle topped off a wonderful experience.

Just returned from a 2-hour Sunset Cruise with Big Mama Sailing and… wow. The experience was both exhilarating and deeply peaceful, like my spirit took a deep breath and smiled. There’s something magical about being out on the water, kissed by the breeze, wrapped in golden light… I feel nourished. Huge love to Lisa, Stu, Fletcher, Sophie, Lara, and Coco (ofc) beautiful souls who welcome you aboard not just a boat but into their passion and way of life. Their warmth is as radiant as the sunset itself. If you’re anywhere near the opportunity, go. This isn’t just a cruise. It’s a memory in the making. Highly recommend. #BigMamaSailing #SunsetMagic #SoulNourishment #TownsvilleAdventures #SeaLovers #GratefulHeart #ExhilaratingAndPeaceful

We had a great sunset sail with Big Mama Sailing. Lisa the captain was very welcoming and friendly. The boat was beautiful and comfortable. The sailing was a lot of fun, and the sunset was gorgeous. I would definitely recommend this company.

Absolutely stunning day sailing around Magnetic Island on a private charter. Communication was seamless with Stu and Lisa and the boat was perfect. 100% would recommend

Several friends and I had the pleasure of doing a sunset cruise from the Townsville Marina. It was a lovely afternoon. Lisa was very accommodating making sure we had everything we needed and enjoyed ourselves.

Took the sunset sail and it was literally the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen! I could not recommend doing this enough! Was worth every penny!

We had the perfect afternoon doing the sunset sail from Townsville. Lisa was a wonderful host, expertly sailing us for beautiful sunset views and accomodating my elderly grandparents, who absolutely loved the experience. Highly recommend to anyone in Townsville!

Great free place to come for a swim, whether that’s to do some laps or to cool off. Lockers are available to place your belongings in. There’s also a cafe attached. There is an upper and lower pool. The lower pool overlooks the river which is nice.

Great place for a swim and just to relax. The pool entry is free ( unheard of these days) and the pools are fantastic.. No actual lap lanes but you can still do laps if you want.

We visited in June and just about had the place to ourselves! This is possibly the biggest pool I've ever seen. If we lived here we would be regulars. Lifeguards and security present.

Fantastic! Beautiful park with big shady trees. Riverside walks where you can stop to feed the turtles. Great places for picnic. Amazing swimming pool with lovely clean facilities. Really interesting Art Gallery, library with great play corner and books for the little ones! Nice café. Easy parking. The most exciting thing for families on a budget these great fun things are FREE!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS !!

The place is amazing, kids are enjoying themselves swimming around as well as adult people. Life guard is also keeping eyes on every kids in the pool so they feel safe to swim around. Everyone are enjoying themselves here. I'd love to visit again and have a swim too.

Such beautiful pools with varying depths. Situated beside the river. Incredible that they are free for the community to enjoy. Bathrooms were kept clean.

Beautifull place :) ! A bit noisy sometimes, but that's a part of the succes ^^ . Btw, forgot my watch yesterday on the men shower, and come back today to enjoy. In case of (i was 100% someone stole it, even if inexpensive..), come back to the toilet block and ask to a guy, 1mn later he came back with my Timex, incredible 😃 ! I was soooo happy. Congratulation to the cleaning staff, bloks are clean, and they take care of your stuff, in case of your forgot something .. ^^ Don't know the name of this guy (look asian), he was very nice with me, wish to him the best ! French traveler.

Beautiful sanctuary that we thoroughly enjoyed with our UK friends. Great to see all the animals and the conservation efforts made. Really worth a visit!!

I regret putting off a visit to Billabong Sanctuary now that I have finally visited! I've been to dozens of different wildlife parks, zoos, and sanctuarys but this had to be one of the best ones in regards to the animals behaviour. alert, healthy appearances, not overtly desperate for stimuation nor food from guests, but still curious and didn't express too much anxiety. the presentations/talks were well paced out and easy to navigate to in a timely manner, staff were all friendly and personable. The relatively smaller scale of the entire sanctuary in comparison to other parks makes it an easy day out aswell as easier on little ones who may get overexerted else where. facilities are scattered about, a decent sheltered sitting area is beside the entrance/kiosk composed of multiple tables, as well as a small pool on site. a bonus for myself was the amount of native wildlife that took advantage of the area, plenty of waterfowl as well as songbirds abound.

Billabong Sanctuary is a must-visit for anyone traveling through Townsville. This beautifully maintained wildlife park offers a unique opportunity to connect up close with some of Australia’s most iconic animals in a natural, relaxed setting. From hand-feeding kangaroos and cuddling koalas to watching crocodile feedings and exploring shaded walking trails, every moment feels both exciting and educational. The park is thoughtfully laid out, making it easy to navigate and perfect for families, solo travelers, or couples. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about conservation, offering engaging talks and interactive shows that deepen your appreciation for native wildlife. One of the highlights is how intimate the experience feels. Unlike larger zoos, Billabong Sanctuary allows for real connection—whether you’re watching turtles bask in the sun, holding a python, or seeing cassowaries up close. There’s a strong emphasis on animal care and education, which shines through in every interaction. With beautiful picnic spots, friendly staff, and an atmosphere that feels both wild and welcoming, Billabong Sanctuary is more than just a wildlife park—it’s a truly memorable experience that stays with you long after you leave. Highly recommended for nature lovers and curious adventurers alike.

A must do when visiting Townsville. A great layout, the ranger talks are perfectly timed, so you can move from one to the next. Talks are very informative and where else can you feel a cassowary, hold a koala, snake and crocodile and even have meerkats climb over you. Highly recommend this place.

We had a lovely morning. Our grandson liked it and it was safe. Food was good. Toys reasonably priced. We had a great time

We had a fantastic time at Billabong Sanctuary and only wish we had more time to spend there. We found it by accident upon visiting the big croc and it was so worthwhile. From the moment we stepped in we were awed. The hands on experiences with the animals make it a day to remember. Highly recommend.

Wild! Love this place 5/5! Have a purchased a family pass to keep going back we enjoyed it so much.

Incredible friendly staff, very helpful. A small introductory museum, gold coin donation requested. Open 7 days a week, so glad we called in. We spent the $5, deposit of $10 for the USB, audio tour, self drive around town. Well worth it, Charters Towers in an afternoon!

Very helpful & friendly staff 👌 , nice town with interesting history,enjoy your visit

We visited the centre this morning for information and again this afternoon to make a booking for a tour. Both times the staff were very friendly and keen to help. Great job!

Super friendly,helpful staff. The lady Lise Ed to our request. Went over and above to assist. Found our perfect camp spot. Highly recommended. Thank you

Well informed staff and volunteers .. Have your Postcode ready to give to them as you will be asked they same question during your visit .. really cute

Helpful visitor centre, shame about the town. Everyone drives noisy, toxic, over-sized 4WD tanks gunning it at pedestrians, a cancer on a historic old gold mining town. Don't bother walking around town, it's a torture. In fact, don't bother stopping.

This centre is the best run information facility I have ever encountered. They are friendly and go out of there way to assist. AAA+
