Here you can enjoy a walk through the rainforest or venture out to the lookout over Barron Falls.

Not only is this tour suitable for all ages but also for experience levels. It’s the perfect adventure for the Ultimate Cairns Girls Getaway.
Your tour guide will take you out to explore the beautiful 150 acres. Before the ride, your guide will run you through a quick safety brief and then go through your previous experience with horseriding. Not to worry if you have not ridden a horse before. The guide will tailor the tour to suit with attention to your abilities. With this in mind, you can set the pace. Once you have enjoyed all the horseback riding you can, it’s time to head back to the restaurant for a quick snack.
Evening Dinner Cruise
Though your Ultimate Cairns Girls Getaway is drawing to an end, there is still one last adventure to be had. What better way to finish it off than with a relaxing dinner cruise! The night begins with wine, which of course, all good dinner cruises should. Stroll the exterior decks with your glass in hand while admiring the views.
Your journey takes you deep into the heart of Trinity Inlet. First, we will sail past the waterfront precinct of Cairns before heading beyond the Cruise Liner Terminal, down past the Esplanade.
