Welcome to a different experience!

Enjoy a full day out with Northern Experience Eco Tours...

Northern Experience Eco Tours is a family owned tour company offering small group personalised tours & charters through the World Heritage Rainforest , Waterfalls, lakes & wildlife areas of the Southern Atherton Tablelands.
This area was described by Sir David Attenborough as " A portrait of Australia's Garden of Eden ". PLUS the re-discovered Spanish Castles in the Rainforest of Paronella Park, and the Aboriginal myth-surrounded Babinda Boulders, which hosts undoubtedly one of Northern Queensland's most dense diverse rainforest jungles where we spot the elusive platypus.
Tour : "Tablelands - Waterfalls - Spanish Castle"

Touring the magnificent Southern Atherton Tablelands , it's World Heritage Rainforest, waterfalls and crater lakes district, situated over 2,400 feet above sea level, and Paronella Park (Spanish Castle ruins) - one man's inspiration and dream must be seen to be believed.

The Atherton Tablelands

The Atherton Tablelands, a land rich in Rainforest, Waterfalls, Wildlife, (extinct) Volcanic Crater lakes, agriculture and more, with a volcanic history reaching back 420 million years, with 62 eruption sites uncovered. Today it is one of the most beautiful natural areas of Australia.

Northern Experience shows you the "non-commercial" side of North Queensland including a very interesting lunch stop, The "Roundyard Restaurant" where we enjoy a two-course hot lunch. The "Roundyard" is an attraction in itself - just imagine walking into a cowboy western movie, and this will give you an idea what to expect!

Paronella Park Heritage Gardens

The Australian "Spanish Castles" in the Rainforest!

Used as a movie location for " Sniper " and " Traps ", and featured on " Burkes Backyard ", " Who Dares Wins ", " Getaway ", " The Great Outdoors " and " Totally Wild ", Paronella Park is a must see! And what better way to get there than with Northern Experience Tours ? We include a guided walk of the Park as part of the tour, giving you a sense of the achievement this unusual Park represents. Paronella Park was built by a Spanish immigrant, Jose Paronella, in the early 1900's . Some say he was a man with an inspiration and a dream. Today most people are surprised to find there really are Spanish Castles in a Rainforest on 14 acres of land next to the mammoth Mena Creek Falls. Our tour is the only one offering private, guided tours of the pleasure gardens as part of our day-tour with the Park's curator and owner, where we discover the story and tragedy of one of the most unique places in the world. Paronella Park is a place guaranteed to surprise!

Lake Barrine - Remnants of a Volcanic Crater

Lake Barrine is set high on the Tablelands and provides an idyllic location for your Devonshire Tea, and observing the flora and fauna. You can also optionally join the Rainforest Wildlife Cruise, swim, or go for a rainforest walk to the 1,000-year-old Kauri Pines. This area is described by Sir David Attenborough as "Australia's Garden of Eden".
