Rainforest, volcanic crater lakes, wetlands, granite country and ancient geological formations make the Atherton Tablelands a fascinating place to explore on foot and in the wild.

Look for Lumholtz’s tree-kangaroos high in the canopy, watch for platypus along quiet creeks or follow walking tracks through rainforest and national parks. Along the way, discover landscapes shaped by volcanic activity, lava flows, caves and millions of years of erosion.

From an easy boardwalk beneath giant fig trees to a challenging mountain climb, there are plenty of ways to get closer to the natural side of the Atherton Tablelands.
