Welcome to the 4WD tour from Cairns! This exciting tour will take you on an adventure through the beautiful landscapes of Far North Queensland, starting with a visit to the Babinda Boulders and culminating in a Darkness Fall tour of Paronella Park.

At 3:00 PM, you'll be picked up from your accommodation in Cairns in a private 4WD vehicle. This is the perfect way to start your tour, as you'll get to enjoy the comfort and convenience of private transportation while taking in the beautiful views of the region.

From there, you'll begin your journey to the Babinda Boulders, a stunning natural attraction located in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. The Wet Tropics is a region of incredible natural beauty, home to a wide variety of plants and animals that are found nowhere else on earth. As you make your way to the Babinda Boulders, you'll get to take in the beauty of the rainforests and rolling hills of Far North Queensland.

Upon arriving at the Babinda Boulders at around 4:00 PM, you'll have the opportunity to explore this beautiful spot. The Babinda Boulders are a series of large, smooth granite boulders that have been carved out by the rushing waters of the Babinda Creek. You can take a leisurely stroll along the creek and take in the beauty of the boulders and the surrounding rainforest. This is a great chance to relax and soak up the beauty of the region.

At around 5:00 PM, you'll begin the journey to Paronella Park, where you'll have the chance to experience the park's famous Darkness Fall tour. Along the way, you'll continue to enjoy the scenic drive through the rainforests and rolling hills of Far North Queensland.

Paronella Park is a truly unique destination, with a rich history dating back to the 1930s. The park was founded by Spanish immigrant Jose Paronella, who dreamed of building a castle in the rainforest. Today, the park is home to a 13th century castle, as well as a number of other historic buildings and structures. The park's gardens, waterfalls, and historic buildings are a true testament to the vision and hard work of Jose Paronella, and they offer visitors a chance to step back in time and experience the beauty and history of the region.

The Darkness Fall tour is a unique opportunity to experience the park at night, as you'll be guided through the gardens and historic buildings as the sun sets. The tour lasts for around 40 minutes, giving you plenty of time to take in the beauty and history of Paronella Park.

Upon arriving at Paronella Park at around 6:00 PM, you'll have a quick snack at the park's cafe before the Darkness Fall tour begins at 6:20 PM. This is a great chance to refuel and get ready for the second half of the tour. After the Darkness Fall tour, you'll make your way to the Mena Creek Hotel for dinner at around 7:05 PM. This is a great opportunity to enjoy a delicious meal before the end of the tour.
