Description
Discover Wooroonooran National Park on a guided tour from Cairns. Enjoy stand-up paddleboarding at Babinda Boulders, swim at Josephine Falls, and get photos of your adventure.
Begin your adventure with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Cairns City or Cairns North. Head to Babinda Boulders, where your guide provides a SUP and safety briefing. Enjoy around 90 minutes of stand-up paddleboarding on the calm, crystal-clear creek surrounded by tropical rainforest.
Capture the moment with drone footage when conditions allow, and depending on the season, try catching freshwater shrimp.
Next, stop at an award-winning local bakery for lunch (at your own expense; closed on Sundays and Mondays, so there is no stop on those days).
Continue to Josephine Falls for free time with your guide. Depending on the water level, current, and local rules, slide down the natural rock water slide, swing on a natural vine swing, look for freshwater shrimp, and snorkel.
Jump into the water only where permitted and never from high places. Life jackets are worn in the water and your guide, a qualified dive instructor, carries a rescue board.
