Barefoot has been touring the waterfalls of Far North Queensland for over a decade. They love nature and the outdoors and have prided themselves on making it accessible, fun and informative. It’s a tour where you can see all different types of waterfalls, lookouts, lakes/craters within the World Heritage Rainforest and if you're lucky some of the endemic wildlife of the Tropics.

Places they frequent often include Josephine Falls, Babinda Boulders, Millaa Millaa falls, Lake Eacham and the glorious Fig Tree. There is a plenty of other alternatives each day and this varies daily… You will have numerous opportunities to swim throughout the day as well as stretch your legs out and explore the terrain. If you read through Barefoot’s website and some of their blogs, you will get a better idea of the region and how they can try to cater the day for each group. It is what sets them aside from the other tours out there.

An amazing day with Dom (minus the meals provided)

What a blast! From the first good morning to the final goodbye, Dom was full of warmth, enthusiasm and joy. We did 4 waterfalls, 2 lookouts, a crater lake, fantastic views, some challenging hikes and a day of easy fun had by the 14 of us on board the bus. He drove well, fast enough without being reckless at all. Meals are pretty bare essentials namely the DIY sandwich lunch and biscuits/lamingtons morning tea. It made the tour feel lacking in value/care; considering we had hot chicken, 3 full on salads, cheese platter, fruits and wine on a Reef trip the day before (on a boat in open sea!), for less money than this tour! It was an 11 hour trip! Good we came prepared with our own crackers, cheese and olive dips. Atherton tablelands is stunning naturally anyway and this tour gave us an eyeful of some amazing scenes. All kudos to Dom... he was the real value here!

Excellent Tour - Food can be improved

We enjoyed the tour a lot! There was lots to see and scenery was amazing . The tour guide was engaging and personable. My only suggestion for the Barefoot company is to improve their lunch food offerings: maybe to have more vegan/vegetarian options, lime gourmet pies and multigrain bread etc. It could be preordered and picked up from o e if the bakeries in Cairns on the same day.

Great Tour!

Very pleasant tour around the rainforest and the waterfalls. We were only 5 people and this allowed us to be very fast and organized. The tour guide has been really nice, gentle; she informed us about everything, nature and life beings. Very appreciated!!
