Description
Some destinations are beautiful. Paronella Park is unforgettable, and how you experience it makes all the difference.
Join a small-group afternoon-to-night tour from Cairns and discover one of Queensland's most enchanting landmarks with an expert local guide fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. Travelling with family, friends, or solo, this is a rare tour where the language of your experience is yours to choose.
Departing at 2:30 PM in an air-conditioned luxury vehicle, you'll arrive as golden light falls across the castle ruins, rainforest gardens, and waterfall. As dusk settles, your guide brings the park's story to life before you explore freely.
As night falls, Paronella Park illuminates. The castle lit against the rainforest, the sound of the falls: it's a moment that stays with you.
2-year park admission included. Return to Cairns at 9:00 PM.
Maximum 13 guests. This is not a bus tour. Your guide knows this place, speaks your language, and is here to make it personal.

Paronella Park Afternoon /Evening Tour 6 hours Infinity Fun Travel
My friend and I recently did this amazing six-hour Paronella Park afternoon/ evening tour with Man from Infinity Fun Travel.
I'm in my late sixties with mobility problems and my friend is in her mid-seventies. We desperately wanted to see Paronella Park though but needed and wanted a shorter tour that gave us both a daylight and evening experience, of the park so this tour was absolutely perfect for us.
Man was such an exceptional and knowledgeable host and we highly recommend him. He was on time, reasonably priced, provided very comfortable transport as well as great, informative commentary throughout the tour which really gave us a much better understanding about Paronella Park, and it's surrounds and people in the very beginning. This also really helped compliment the tours we did later at Paronella Park itself as it was a great introduction to them.
Overall, it was such a wonderful experience, but what really impressed us the most was that Man truly looked after us. Due to our ages and my disability having that reassuring support and care meant a great deal to us.
So, if we know of any family and friends in the future going to Carins etc we will most certainly be recommending them to Man and his fabulous tour company.

Park is Great, drive out not.
Park history was very interesting and clearly the owners and staff are passionate about preserving and growing this piece of Queensland history. However, in our case, the transportation to the park was substandard and you have a long drive (90 min.) each way.
Operator response
Sorry for the air-conditioning not working properly but I'm doing my best. Things happen when you don't expected it isn't? Safe trip home.
