During the 45 minutes here we will show you around the amazing site and tell you the history and legends of the boulders - there are a few spooky stories! This is considered one of Cairns' must visit spots especially during times of heavy rain the strength of the water passing through the boulders has to be seen to be believed!

Loved that a trip! Steph was great, her funny comments and sense of humour certainly added to this trip.. The waterfalls were absolutely beautiful and whilst in some places we couldn’t really swim Steph took us to other lovely places. Highly recommended
Amazing

This is the second time I have done this tour and it was just as good as the first time. My kids (17) & (15) loved it too. Would recommend to anyone thinking of doing it.
Exhilarating water slide experience - unforgettable, pretty Milaa waterfall, delicious lunch, very experience guide.
Pieng_L, 25-12-2022
The natural water slide was one of the most exhilarating things I’ve ever done in my life. The water was at yellow level so the guide asked for strong swimmers only. Because I wear contacts, I closed my eyes right before I hit the water with my feet up in the air and landed in the whirlpool. I thought I was under the water the whole time, but apparently I came up for air several times. My aunt recorded the whole 3 minutes in slow motion. The very experienced guide flew down the slide as soon as he saw I landed in the whirlpool and came to my rescue. He quickly guided me back in the right direction. The day was filled with interesting things to see like the 650-800 year old fig tree, the gorgeous Milaa waterfall, swimming at the very blue green Lake Eacham. We had a delicious lunch also. The tour guide taught us about dangerous plants and to avoid them. The only complaint was I confirmed the day before on pickup location and time and the driver didn’t pick us on time and they wanted us to walk down the street and we were unfamiliar with the area, but by the time we called, the driver finally showed up. Also, the tour advertised sunset at Lake Eacham, but in December sunset isn’t until after 6 so we didn’t get to see the sunset over Lake Eacham and my mom love sunsets. Overall, I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants the see the Atherton Tableland area and if you’re lucky, you’ll get to experience an unforgettable natural water slide.
