Location
With this great value 4WD tour from Cairns to the wonderful Chillagoe Caves, you'll be amazed by the limestone towers and fossilised remains we'll encounter along the way, with natural formations that have to be seen to be believed! Featuring an entertaining off-road adventure that will have you seeing the likes of Emus, Kangaroos, Frill Necked Lizards and more along the way, you'll visit such regional highlights as the Mareeba Wetlands which is also the destination for morning tea and the scenic cruise.
Crossing the Great Divide, we'll venture into the Aussie outback, taking a step back through time into quaint historic towns and enjoying a delicious lunch at an Aussie Outback Pub. From here, we head to the Chillagoe Caves themselves, where you'll be able to witness the spectacular limestone remains of ancient coral reefs. With all this and more (see below), you'll come away with some impressive memories of one of North Queensland's more hidden gems - so book online today!
