Next, transfer to Rainforestation Nature Park, where you ride an amphibious Army Duck through the rainforest and its waterways, visit the Koala and Wildlife Park to see native animals and watch the Pamagirri Aboriginal cultural presentation with traditional dances and demonstrations. An Aussie BBQ lunch is included. In the afternoon, travel above the canopy on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, with stops at Red Peak and Barron Falls stations for short walks and viewpoints. A driver guide looks after you during the day, and you are taken back to your hotel in the late afternoon.
