| Your tour starts as you climb Lake Morris Road, only a few minutes from Cairns itself. Stop for a panoramic view of the city and the Coral Sea, before continuing through lush tropical rainforest and on to Lake Morris for a break in picturesque surroundings. Relax over a cup of tea, or cappuccino, accompanied by a selection of delicious treats.
Leaving the Copperlode Dam behind, we engage 4 Wheel Drive to tackle the Clohesy River Road. This narrow track winds through pristine World Heritage Rainforest, over sparkling creeks and rugged terrain. Visit giant strangler fig trees and strange termite mounds. Your experienced driver/guide will introduce small groups to the mysteries of the rainforest, during an exciting and unforgettable morning.
Your next destination is Hartley's Crocodile Adventures - the BEST place to see crocodiles in Tropical North Queensland. Time is allowed to purchase lunch from the licensed restaurant, Lilies (own expense).
After lunch, join the group for a unique eco experience on the lagoon cruise through the ecologically significant Melaleuca wetlands; the domain of the saltwater crocodile.
Explore the rest of the park with its abundance of wildlife, including water birds, turtles, wallabies and cassowaries. See the notorious "Head Shake" and "Death Roll" of a huge crocodile at the Crocodile Attack Show and have the opportunity to hold a crocodile for a photo (own expense). Discover the world's most venomous snakes at the Snake Show, before the return transfer to your accommodation. |
