Travel Guide

The Undara lava tubes are deep in the heart of Queensland and are amazing to explore, if you head down for a tour at night you can see hundreds of bats, especially in the wet season

The Undara Lava Tubes are well worth a visit. The two hour tour provides a good overview of the geology of the Tubes and a walk through the caves.
There is the opportunity to sleep in beautifully restored railway carriages, which of course our kids were thrilled about. The carriages are set along the original Cobb & Co coach road under the shade of tall trees surrounded by Australian Native wildlife. There isn’t a lot of space in the carriage so leave your clothes in your car. It’s a unique experience and one to do if you love trains, and was nice to get out of our camper trailer for the night.. You can also camp with your own caravans at the Undara resort or stay in cabins or safari tents.
Undara Lava Tubes is part of the Undara National Park, which is home to 164 volcanoes, cones and vents. They are about a four hour drive along the Savannah Way west of Cairns.

7.4/10 Good! (19 reviews)
The cabins were clean and the beds very comfortable . The only downside was the pool was green, so the kids couldn't swim.
