Waterfalls.

Yes. Several Cairns tours visit waterfalls as part of full-day rainforest and Tablelands itineraries. Guided tours are a convenient option if you don't have your own vehicle.

Some waterfalls and freshwater swimming areas have designated swimming locations, while others are viewing-only. Always follow local signs and check conditions before entering the water, as currents and water levels can change quickly.

Many are. However, individual tours can involve rainforest walks, uneven ground, swimming holes and slippery surfaces, so check the requirements of your chosen tour before booking.

This depends on the waterfall and tour. Some have relatively easy access and viewing areas, while others require walking on uneven rainforest tracks or negotiating steps.

Waterfalls can be particularly spectacular after rain, but heavy rainfall can also create dangerous conditions. Creeks can rise rapidly and currents can become extremely strong, sometimes even when it is sunny at the waterfall itself. If on an organised tour your guide will let you know anything to avoid.

Absolutely. Swimming is optional on many tours, and the waterfalls themselves, rainforest scenery and walking tracks are attractions in their own right.
