Far North Queensland is a tropical paradise!

On the doorstep of the World Heritage Listed Daintree Rainforest, you will find kilometres of pristine white sandy beaches. Just beyond the shore is the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park with its colourful display of corals, turtles and fish. The Cairns region is a must-see for innovations in coastal aquaculture and sustainable development. It has also been home to the colourful and friendly Djabugay people for over 40,000 years! Whether you’d prefer a sightseeing adventure or an immersive experience of Aboriginal Australian culture, Second Nature offers a variety of tour options for Special Interest Groups.
