Overview

What's this trip about?

A week, two World Heritage Sites, and the chance to stand at the very tip of mainland Australia at Cape York – sounds like all the ingredients you need for an epic Far North Queensland tour. Bring your stamina, because the waterfalls, rainforest, wetlands and outback cattle stations between Cape York and Cairns are as enormous as they are eye-opening. It’s remarkable how much you can pack in to a Queensland short break if you have the right people at the helm. *Please note, this tour is operated by a third-party*

Itinerary

Day 1: Cairns - Thursday Island - Seisia

Your adventure toward the very top of Australia starts on a high – literally. All aboard your plane bound for Horn Island; but first a twirl over the Great Barrier Reef. Your ferry transfer from Horn takes you to Thursday Island, the capital of the Torres Strait Islan...

Day 2: Cape York

There are just a few hundred kilometers of water (and almost as many islands) separating you from Papua New Guinea when you reach Cape York on your Far North Queensland tour. Not many people can say they’ve stood at the very top of mainland Australia. Closer to home i...

Day 3: Seisia - Bramwell

Cross the Jardine River and you’re well on your way to one of Far North Queensland’s coolest attractions: Fruit Bat Falls. Linger here over lunch, with time to dive in, splash about and chill out. You’ll be happy to hear the waterhole you’re swimming about in is croc ...

Day 4: Bramwell - Weipa

Before you roll out of bed this morning, decide how you want to spend your afternoon in Weipa, a tiny town that began its life thanks to the mining of bauxite. You might decide to dig deep and discover how these rocks (the world’s main source of aluminium) are pulled ...

Day 5: Weipa - Musgrave

More of Far North Queensland’s mining history awaits in the historic gold town of Coen – small in size, but with plenty of country swagger. And lots of cold beer, which is essential in these steamy parts of Australia. Your base for tonight was once the Musgrave Telegr...

Day 6: Musgrave - Cooktown

Nature looms large today, your expedition beginning in Rinyirru (Lakefield) National Park – in Queensland, there’s only one expanse of wilderness that’s larger, and that’s and that’s the Simpson Desert. Rinyirru is wild, wide and wonderful, a place where enormous wate...

Day 7: Cooktown - Farewell from Cairns

Your Far North Queensland tour ends with myths and legends aplenty at Black Mountain, sometimes dubbed the Bermuda Triangle of Australia. We’ll make sure you arrive safely to quench your thirst at the legendary Lion’s Den Hotel. Don’t over-indulge – you’re about to hi...
