Experience the Magic of the Tablelands
Escape the crowds and journey into the lush, cool highlands of the Atherton Tablelands on an exclusive, fully private day tour from Port Douglas. Tailored for intimate groups of up to four guests, this premium experience seamlessly blends natural wonders, ancient rainforests, and charming country villages. 🌿
Your Tailored Highland Itinerary
Your adventure begins as you ascend the Great Dividing Range, leaving the coast behind for fertile countryside and cooler mountain air. Sip a freshly brewed morning coffee in Mareeba before marvelling at the breathtaking Curtain Fig Tree—a towering testament to the power of nature. 🌳
Charming Villages and Wildlife Encounters
Wander through the historic streets of Yungaburra and stroll along the peaceful banks of Peterson Creek. Keep your eyes peeled for the elusive platypus, rare Lumholtz’s tree kangaroos, and vibrant native birdlife. While nature is beautifully unpredictable, your expert local guide knows the absolute best vantage points to help you spot these unique Australian creatures. 🦘

After a delicious, casual café lunch in Yungaburra, cool off with a refreshing swim or enjoy a tranquil rainforest walk at the spectacular volcanic crater of Lake Eacham.

The day started with our punctual pick up by Agostino in his luxurious Mercedes van and a short trip to Thala Beach Lodge for a delicious breakfast overlooking the Coral Sea.
Then the drive to Barron Falls. The van has all the comforts and Agostino is a great host. The walk around Kuranda village was fun with lunch if we’d chosen to. The Skyrail was fantastic and definitely worth the trip. Agostino met us at the bottom of the range offering us some lovely treats for our trip back to Port Douglas.
The whole trip was fantastic and flexible if you have any preferences.
I cannot recommend using Port Douglas Luxe tours more highly.

Every detail was perfectly thought of, making this far beyond a standard tour. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a private, premium Daintree experience.
