Commonly asked questions.

Yes. The combined ticket can be used on separate days, and you can validate it at either property first. Just keep in mind Mamu's last entry is 3:30pm.

Paronella Park is open every day from 9:00am to 6:00pm, with guided tours every 30 minutes from 9:30am to 4:30pm. Mamu Tropical Skywalk opens at 9:30am with last entry at 3:30pm.

Paronella Park is about 120 km south of Cairns at Mena Creek, and Mamu Tropical Skywalk is about a 30 minute drive from the park on the Palmerston Highway. No transfers are included, so you'll need your own car, or join the guided Paronella Park experience from Cairns.

A 15 percent cancellation fee applies to all booking cancellations. Both sites close on Christmas Day, Paronella Park also closes on Christmas Eve, and on 23 December the park closes at 6:00pm with no evening tour.

Mamu's walkways are wheelchair and stroller friendly except for the very top platform of the tower. Paronella Park has a 47 step Grand Staircase, gravel paths and steep sections, but a courtesy vehicle can drive guests who can transfer into a 4WD to the lower grounds, and large wheeled prams cope best.

Mamu sells light refreshments. At Paronella Park, the Cafe on the Deck serves sandwiches, wraps, cakes and smoothies, you're welcome to bring a picnic, and the Mena Creek Hotel is about a five minute walk away for a pub meal.

Yes, Paronella Park's evening tour lights up the falls and gardens and ends with a sound and light show. Bookings are essential, so call the park on (07) 4065 0000 to reserve your spot.

Comfortable walking shoes, water, a hat and a camera, plus photo ID and your booking card for ticket collection. If you're mapping out a wider trip south of Cairns, see our guide to things to do in Cairns.

More about this tour.

Two of the Cassowary Coast's best stops sit about 30 minutes' drive apart, and this combined ticket covers both. Climb above the rainforest canopy at Mamu Tropical Skywalk in the morning, then spend the afternoon among the moss covered castle ruins and waterfall at Paronella Park in Mena Creek.At Mamu, an elevated walkway, a cantilever over the North Johnstone River gorge and a 37 metre observation tower take you from the forest floor to the treetops in World Heritage rainforest. An audio guide in 8 languages shares stories of the area's first peoples and early European settlers, and the paths are wheelchair and stroller friendly everywhere except the highest platform.Over at Paronella Park, a guided storytelling tour of about 30 minutes introduces José Paronella and the pleasure park he built in the 1930s. Afterwards, wander Kauri Avenue with the botanical guide booklet, feed the fish, cross the suspension bridge over the falls and grab lunch at the Cafe on the Deck or the Mena Creek Hotel up the road.Only have time for one? Book Paronella Park admission or Mamu Tropical Skywalk admission on its own. Otherwise, explore both, check availability for your date and book the combined pass.
