Wind through beautiful subtropical rainforest among gigantic strangler figs, piccabeen palms, climbing ferns and vines. Spy delicate orchids and other epiphytes clinging to the branches.
Bridges and raised boardwalks stretch over trickling creeks and provide a heightened perspective of the forest.
Bring binoculars to make the most of wildlife watching.
