Northern Explorer Tours are specializing on German speaking tours from Cairns to Kuranda, the Atherton Tablelands and the adjoining Outback. Probably the most fascinating part of our tours is that we show the contrast of landscapes, climates, fauna and flora of the area we travel. See upland rainforest, green rolling hills, dry eucalypt bush, waterfalls, crater lakes, hot springs, historic townships, a living ghost town, aboriginal rock paintings and a lot to touch and smell.
