The Nature and Wildlife Package

Slow down, breathe in the rainforest air, and let the wild side of the Tablelands remind you what it feels like to be truly present. This is the kind of getaway where the best moments find you, quietly, at first light.

A Getaway Designed for Discovery

The Atherton Tablelands is one of the most wildlife-rich corners of Australia, and this package is made for it. Home to the platypus, the cassowary and the elusive tree kangaroo, it has birdlife so spectacular you’ll be reaching for the binoculars before breakfast. Discover not one but two crater lakes, stand beneath the 500-year-old Curtain Fig Tree, and see why nature lovers return to Far North Queensland again and again. Three nights, at your own pace, in a place where every turn holds something wild.
