Food Trail Tours
The Experience
Food Trail Tours have a unique full day tour, that takes you to the Cairns hinterland, which locals call the Atherton Tablelands, or Cairns Highlands.
You go behind the scenes on interactive plantation tours where you learn about food production and processing.
You taste excellent local food and wine at the farm gate, with opportunities to purchase direct from the farmer.
