Description

Northern Explorer Tours specialise in German speaking tours from Cairns to the Atherton Tablelands, Kuranda and the Daintree Region in Far North Queensland. On their tours travellers can first-hand experience the vast contrasts in climates, landscapes, fauna and flora the region around Cairns has to

offer.

As the group size is ordinarily limited to eight guests, everyone can equally see, understand and comprehend the many different experiences along the tour. The organisers of Northern Explorer Tours come from the same cultural and geographical background as their customers and speak the same

language. They are able to emphasise, in the best possible way, those aspects of Australia that make it so different from Central Europe.

Northern Explorer Tours also offer a special 10 day Eclipse 2012 Tour to view the eclipse in the dry outback at the Palmer River Roadhouse, which they have secured for exclusive use. The tour itinerary includes a great diversity of attractions and experiences: The Barrier Reef, Skyrail and Kuranda Scenic Train, Atherton Tablelands with Lake Barrine, Lake Eacham, Cathedral and Curtain Fig Trees, Millaa Falls, Hypipamee Crater, Millstream Falls, Granite Gorge, Undara Lava Tubes, Chillagoe, Laura with Quinkan Rock Paintings, Cooktown, Daintree Crocodile Cruise, Mossman Gorge.

Their guests view the Eclipse in the dry Outback from Palmer River Roadhouse, which Northern Explorer have secured exclusively, only a few kilometres away from the ideal viewing line but far away from the possible coastal clouds and rain.
