Tour Description

Any holiday to Tropical North Queensland would not be complete without visiting four of the region’s best and most unique attractions: Rainforestation Nature Park and the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary in Kuranda, The Wildlife Habitat in Port Douglas, and the Cairns Wildlife Dome in the heart of the city.

These diverse attractions have now launched an exciting new 4 Park Pass, which entitles entry into each of the parks at a great discount.

The 4 Park Pass is ideal for families or the self-driver, and also includes fantastic discounts around the region including Mobil Fuel, McDonald’s and other restaurants and cafés.

Valid for 6 months, people can use their pass to visit all of the parks in which ever order they wish. The Pass also doesn’t have to be used on consecutive days, so people are free to fit in their visits with their own holiday arrangements, at their own leisure.
