The tour is a lot of fun and even though there is a lot of driving around, it goes by very smoothly because Captain Matty talks during the trip: he knows lots of interesting stuff....and lots of random stuff as well! We got to swim in incredible places...it's just awesome!!! More

This tour is fantastic! Brett (he runs the tour two days a week) is a funny guy with a lot of knowledge about the tablelands and the wildlife in australia. His playlist was very nice and his sense of humor is fantastic. The morning tea and afternoon tea were fantastic! We had a lot of fresh fruit, muffins, cake, biscuits,... More

This tour is really a hidden gem in Cairns. Too many times you go on tour to find a substandard guide with no passion for what he/she does. Not with Barefoot Tours. Captain Matty truly loves what he does - showing visitors the best of the Atherton Tablelands. His knowledge of the area, infectious personality and genuine desire to make... More

We had an amazing experience with Barefoot Tours! Our guide, Brett, was great! He was extremely knowledgeable, personable, funny and enthusiastic the entire day. He was able to turn a van of complete strangers into a friendly, lively group of mates. The beautiful scenery was transformed into an absolutely unforgettable day. Some of the best coffee I have ever tasted... More

This tour is the best. We visited a lake and 3 beautiful waterfalls. Captain Matty was a hoot. He kept up laughing the whole day. It was extremely good value for the money for myself and my 2 sons (aged 24, and 26). Captain matty is very knowledgable and when he doesn't know the answer to a question he tells... More

Captain Matty's Barefoot tours is the best tour i did in Oz. He gives lots of information about everything there is to see and do on the tour and ads lots and lots of humor to it. In the morning there is koffie and tea with big plates of fresh fruit, a nice lunch, and in the afternoon chips, crackers... More

This tour was booked last minute by our hostel because the one we wanted was fully booked. So glad we did this one instead, we had Brett and he was so much fun. Stopped off at four different sites, one lake red waterfalls. The day is long but it does include 4 stops, 2 breaks for snacks, and lunch. We... More

Never seen and swam in nicer waterfalls. Matty is the best guide, organizer, host I've met so far. If you like nature, swimming, do not miss this. Best value adventure in Cairns. More
