Cairns & Port Douglas Private Tours

Travel privately, Connect deeply

 

Discover the Rainforest Your Way

Step into a more personal way of exploring Tropical North Queensland — where your day unfolds entirely around you. A private tour with Down Under Tours offers the freedom to travel at your own pace, the comfort of your own vehicle, and the insight of a local guide who knows these ancient landscapes intimately.

Whether you’re chasing waterfalls, wandering quiet rainforest trails, meeting native wildlife up close, or seeking out hidden lookouts far from the crowds, your guide will tailor the experience to suit your interests and the stories you want to take home.

A Personal Guide, Dedicated to Your Day

Our hand-selected driver-guides are passionate locals who bring the region to life through knowledge, storytelling, and genuine connection. If you have a particular interest — nature, photography, Indigenous culture, history, wildlife — simply let us know and we’ll match you with the best guide for your day.

Travel in Comfort and Style

Your private vehicle becomes your retreat between rainforest boardwalks, waterfalls, and wildlife encounters — cool, spacious, and designed to make each journey as relaxed as the destinations themselves. For groups larger than six, we can arrange vehicles that offer the same high level of comfort.

Tailored Itineraries or a Day Built Just for You

Choose from our curated selection of private itineraries below, each designed by our local experts to showcase the region’s most remarkable experiences. Or, if you prefer something more personal, our team can help you shape a completely customised day based on your interests, pace, and sense of adventure.

Accessible Touring, Designed with Care

Private touring is an ideal choice for guests who prefer a more flexible pace or have specific accessibility needs. We’ll work with you to create a day that ensures comfort, enjoyment, and meaningful connection with the region’s natural beauty.
