Experience Tropical North Queensland – 8 Day Tour
Early August is a good time to visit North Queensland. During the day temperatures range from 17-26c with little rainfall over the month. It can get a bit cool at night but is still the perfect time to escape the cold winter back in New Zealand.
This is an easy paced tour with a mix of organised day tours and free time to do your own thing. We start your holiday with a half-day local tour of Cairns which includes a guided Botanic Gardens walk. With its lush forest and rugged outback Atherton Tablelands sits at the heart of tropical North Queensland. Our guided day tour offers the opportunity to experience an area off the usual tourist route.
We have an included full day tour to Cape Tribulation travelling through tropical rain forest and the following day we travel to Kuranda by train spending time at the markets before returning to Cairns on the spectacular Skyrail.
On your free days you can take the hotel shuttle bus downtown and spend time at one of the large shopping malls, visit the night markets or have dinner or lunch at one of the many local eateries serving all types of international dishes.
