Cobbold Gorge Tours

Deep in the Gulf Savannah region, Cobbold Gorge is an outback oasis that looks like Neopolitan ice-cream has been plastered on the cliffs. This natural wonder of geological landforms is so precious you can only float past it on a boat, paddleboard or kayak. The sandstone cliffs are only 10,000 years old, young for rock years, so to protect this special North Queensland environment, access to Cobbold Gorge is by guided tour only. And after your tour, Cobbold Village has plenty of wildlife, bushwalks and modern comforts for the outback. Only a six-hour drive from Cairns and Townsville, getting there is easy. Cobbold Gorge offers the ultimate outback family holiday adventure with modern accommodation and RV and caravan friendly camping facilities. Tour bookings are essential. A three hour Gorge Tour operates at 10am (April - October) and 10am plus 1.30pm in peak months (Jun/Jul/Aug/Sept). Day visitor rates are available for those who choose to not stay at Cobbold Village. Please note Cobbold Gorge is closed from 11 November 2016 through 31 March 2017.
