Cairns Botanic Gardens Evening Family Experience
Highly recommend!
Amazing experience! The Let’s Go Buggin’ Night Walk was so much fun and a great way to discover Cairns’ amazing wildlife at night. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable and made the experience really interesting. Highly recommend!

Mushroom Photography Activity in Cairns Botanic Gardens
A wonderful nature walk
Great experience! I really enjoyed the Walk. Bridgette was knowledgeable and friendly, and I learned so much about mushrooms. It was fun, relaxing, and well organized. Highly recommended for anyone interested in nature and fungi. 🍄😊

2-Hour Cairns Botanic Gardens: Morning Photography Wildlife Walk
Got some good insect macro photos with guide Bridgette from Let's Go Buggin!
Was a bit woolly-headed for some reason on this morning, and didn't always have my camera or flash correctly set up. But Bridgette from Let's Go Buggin certainly spotted the bugs and provided the photo opps.
