What should I wear on a Tableland Trails tour?
 

Far North Queensland has a tropical climate, so comfort is key.

For most of the year, lightweight, breathable clothing is best. We recommend loose-fitting clothes made from cotton or linen. A sun hat, sunscreen and sunglasses are essential.
 

During the cooler months (May to September), mornings and evenings on the Atherton Tablelands can be cool, so a light jacket or jumper is recommended. Closed-toe shoes are ideal, especially for short walks at venues.

As our tours are tasting-focused, smart-casual attire is perfect.
 

What should I bring with me?
 

We recommend bringing:

• Comfortable walking shoes

• Sun hat, sunscreen and sunglasses

• A light jacket (seasonal)

• Refillable water bottle

• Camera or phone for photos
   

If you’re joining a full-day tour, you may also like to bring a small day bag for personal items.
 

What vehicles do you travel in?
 

All Tableland Trails tours are private experiences with a maximum of 4 guests.
 

We travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned SUV suitable for Far North Queensland conditions. This allows for a relaxed, flexible itinerary and a more personalised experience throughout the day.
 

Who will be our guide?
 

Your guide is a knowledgeable local who is passionate about the Atherton Tablelands, its producers, and its stories.
