Tour description

Discover the very best of tropical Far North Queensland on this six-day escape to Palm Cove — a peaceful coastal haven framed by palm-lined beaches, gentle sea breezes and the vibrant colours of the tropics. Your journey begins with a visit to Cairns’ lively Rusty’s Markets before settling into your beautiful Palm Cove retreat, perfectly positioned for both relaxation and exploration. From here, you’ll travel deep into the rainforest aboard the historic Kuranda Scenic Railway, then glide above the canopy on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway for sweeping views of waterfalls, mountains and lush treetops. A full day on the Great Barrier Reef brings the chance to snorkel, learn from an onboard marine biologist or simply unwind on the pontoon while admiring the dazzling marine life that makes this region so extraordinary.

The adventure continues along the stunning Coral Coast with a Daintree River wildlife cruise, a visit to the iconic Mossman Gorge, and free time to enjoy the charm of Port Douglas. Travelling into the Atherton Tablelands, you’ll discover volcanic crater lakes, towering fig trees and delicious local flavours, including tastings at Gallo Dairyland and a serene High Tea overlooking Lake Barrine. Evenings offer time to relax in Palm Cove’s gentle ambience, with wonderful meals shared by the water and a special farewell dinner to celebrate the journey. Beautifully balanced and thoughtfully paced, this tour captures the essence of Far North Queensland — warm, welcoming and full of unforgettable moments.

Testimonials

Dear John I just want you to know how much I enjoyed my trip to Yamba with you and to thank you for your careful driving, your interesting commentary, your selective gathering of foods and morning tea and your care and concern for all passengers. It’s no wonder we have such a happy group.

Isabel, Sydney.

Hi Debbie, I must say that the tour was well constructed with lots of places to check out. But surprisingly there was enough time allocated to do all the features mentioned in the brochure. I didn’t feel rushed at any point. The accommodation was A1 and you put on delightful meals. I’m looking forward to my next tour with ‘On Course’ in November. I must make comment about our driver ‘Peter’. Very personable and easy going, nothing seemed to faze him. He is a true professional driver / tour director. I look forward to having him on future tours. Yes, I will be a repeat customer! Also the pickup / drop off at North Sydney station works.

Kindest Regards, Mark
