Your Night Time adventure starts with pickup from your Airbnb accommodation and takes you off on an adventure to find wildlife in it’s natural habitat. Most of it doesn’t come out until after sunset so we stay out after dark to see it! We start around 1:30pm so you can have a relaxed morning and you will be back around 9:30-10:00pm. Afternoon tea and dinner will be provided so no need to worry about food. We get to see some very rare animals, like Platypus and Tree Kangaroos, and the region we visit on the Atherton Tablelands is a beautiful place. It is close to Cairns so drive times are short. We visit several areas too so you get to see different places. We do spend a few hours in the afternoon to see the Rainforest but it really comes to life when the sun goes down. Being in the forest at night is an experience you will never forget. It is magical to hear and feel and see what it is like to be in there after dark. I use special lights so we can all see what’s around us and provide you with binoculars so you can get a really good view of the animals. You will come away from this with a whole new understanding of Australia’s special environments and it’s wonderful wildlife. Other things to note Bugs and mosquitos are not usually a problem. If the weather is wet I provide umbrellas. There is no need for you to have flashlights or torches. We are not hiking so just comfortable shoes are needed

Our pick up starts at 2.30 pm I will pick you up from your accommodation then the adventure begins! We head up the beautiful Kuranda range which a world heritage rainforest so the chance to see a cassowary or two is a possibility. As we drive the range you will feel the temperature drop a fraction as its high in the mountains and thick forest so take it in. 10 min out of the rainforest its turns to bush you may see huge termite mounds, kangaroos and bird or prey flying high in the sky. It takes about 1.5 hrs to get to the Lake Tinaroo but the drive is stunning with rolling hills and amazing history which I will tell you about on the drive. We soon arrive at Lake Tinaroo around 4.45 pm we get ready to have all our briefs and hit the water for an amazing SUP experience and take in the colours of the sunset. The wild life is amazing up there, Platypus spotting, pelicans, turtles and the bird life is spectacular. When we hit the water I show you skills, rescues and much more then the tour begins with a paddle around the lake spotting as much wildlife as we can, then the sun starts setting and we start snapping our cameras and lap up the colours of the sky and relax and enjoy ourselves. The tour finishes around 7.30 pm with hot homemade pumpkin soup by the lake and yummy local bread, as you eat and relax I pack up all the equipment and join you for soup, then its back to Cairns. Other things to note So just a wee reminder BYO: extra clothes, a towel to dry yourself off, water and any snacks you may need. I do dinner and I pick you up from your accommodation or meet me at Cairns central shopping center for 2.30 pm.

“Night Walks are a fantastic opportunity to see some animals we rarely see!” Says tour creator Bridgette Gower. “From frogs to beetles, spiders and crickets, this tour is a welcome addition for visitors to Cairns as well as something new for locals to experience.” A chorus of frog croaks, cricket chirps and cicada buzzes welcomes you as the rainforest comes to life at night. The tour will introduce you to the much-loved White-lipped tree frog, Northern stony creek frogs and many other species of amphibians. For those who like spiders, there are many that can be seen on the tour such as Net-casting spiders, Garden orb-weavers and Huntsmans. For people not a fan of the spiders, they will be relieved to know that they are usually happily weaving their webs or sitting on tree-trunks out of range. Most of these animals only come out at night and therefore are generally unseen by most people. Other animals that can be seen on a Let’s Go Buggin Night Walk include Micro-bats, Papuan frogmouth birds, Striped possums, Speckled flying foxes, Cicadas, Crickets, Longicorn beetles and even Pademelons and Echidnas. The tours offer a great opportunity for photographers who would love to just ‘go to’ that spot to capture amazing photographs of some nocturnal critters.
