Full-day Tour at the Atherton Tablelands with Food Tasting

About this tour

A 10-hour sweep through Queensland's Atherton Tablelands, west of Cairns, connecting ten locations across a rising plateau landscape. You'll move through national parks, working farms and gardens, and waterfalls whilst sampling what the region produces—spirits from Mt Uncle, cheese and chocolate from Gallos, coffee and papaya from Skybury. The guide unpacks the ecology and history of the Wet Tropics as you travel in a comfortable minibus, with morning and afternoon tea included.

Highlights

• Mt Uncle Distillery spirits tasting with local knowledge
• Gallos Dairyland cheese, chocolate, and sit-down lunch
• Skybury Plantation coffee, scones with jam, papaya and lime
• Ten stops across national parks and natural landscapes
• Waterfall and wildlife encounters in the Wet Tropics

What to expect

You'll spend the day moving between working producer sites and natural attractions, each stop building a picture of how the Tablelands' altitude and rainfall shape what grows here. Morning tea kicks things off, followed by distillery tastings and exploration of parks and gardens. Lunch is at the dairy farm with tastings of their cheese and chocolate. Afternoon tea and Skybury's papaya offerings round out the eating. Travel between spots accounts for part of the 10 hours, so expect a genuine full day rather than rushed sampling. The guide does the talking—facts about the region's ecology, history and culture emerge naturally as you move through.
