Tour Description
This sightseeing day tour to the Cairns Highlands, includes visits to the dry savannah country and the wet tropics rainforest, as well as numerous opportunities to explore what the local food and wine producers have to offer. You tour farms, as well as taste the excellent foods and tropical fruit wines of the region.
You will experience informative, and interactive farm tours where you are able to talk with owners and family members who work the business. There is a different touring experience at every farm, and each has its own taste sensation.

Your all inclusive lunch, features tropical seafood, salad, and garlic bread. If you can’t eat seafood an alternative can be arranged, with your driver/guide, on the day.
