We had a great tour, started of seeing kangaroos and wallabies with the tour guide giving us lots of information about species and interesting facts then we went up to lake berrine which is an amazing site we had awesome scones and tea then went for a walk and saw a few rare lizards and amazing rain forest. We then... More

This was a fascinating insight into the complexities of the vast and magnificent eco-system surrounding Cairns. We used a JVC Everio Camcorder on the experience, and had the chance to gather at least two hours of priceless footage (when edited together). Platypi, rare tree kangaroos, fluorescent fungi, cheeky lizards and all sorts of bird life were some of the main... More

Wait-a-while is the nickname for an Australian rainforest plant that attaches rapidly to clothing, forcing you to "wait a while" while you detach the harmless, but clinging vine. We felt a little like this on the tour; we were ready to return after seeing the Curtain Fig tree, but we were trapped until the whole tour was over-more than 2... More

Loved our guide, Adrian, who helped us see more Australian wildlife than we ever expected....and with all the confusion caused by poor travel planning by our tour guides (Quantas and Down Under Travel) turned a day of frustration into one fabulous trip. Kudos to Terry for hiring such an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. We saw kangaroos, fed wallabies, learned more... More

First let me just say there's nothing I could write here that would do this tour and its awesome guide Adrian any justice. It was simply an amazing day and unlike any tour I've ever been on. The Atherton Tablelands are breathtaking on their own, but what made the experience really unforgettable was exploring it all with a guide as... More

Really glad we picked this tour on the advice of the Tourist Info office. Possums, platypus, toads, snakes, "bandy-cutes" (as we know call them), wallaroos, wallabies, kangaroos, giant fig trees and devon cream tea! Very knowledgeable guide Adrian who can spot a possum in the dark from 50 metres away! We can't thank him enough for a highly informative, amusing... More

Oh what a night spent with Wait a While Tours! We had such a fun adventure! The tour was well organised, our guide was very knowledgeable and the scenery and wild life was spectacular! And what a great way to spend a night! We were lucky enough on our tour to see the elusive Tree Kangaroo along with other uniquely... More

Our original booking for a tour of the flatlands and night safari was cancelled at the last minute (driver broke his foot). We phoned a couple of tours to see if they could fit us in. Wait-a-while (named after a vine that doesn't let you go) offered to include us half way through a tour. We met the group in... More

Bio Bloody brilliant! This tour puts the bio into bio-diversity? Finally a rainforest tour that showcases our world heritage rainforests and highlands (Atherton Tablelands) and the unique plants, animals and insects that inhabit it. With some scientific opinions and history thrown in its Must Do Tour! Being Aussie I thought I'd seen it all in the way of wild life!!... More
