INTERNATIONAL STUDENT EXCHANGE - do it naturally!

It is natural that students from international destinations visiting Cairns are excited about meeting like-minded, similar aged students from Australia. Due to the influx of student groups that Australia and indeed the far north Queensland region receive, we have developed a program with our key industry travel partners, that allows us to invite you to forward a request for us to arrange an exchange between your group, and an Australian school, here at Mungalli Falls. We are able to do this simply because so many of the local schools visit Mungalli Falls, and over a number of years, we have been fortunate enough to forge good working relationships with both public and private schools, whereby such a program is approved by the principal (on a case by case basis) and fits in to the curriculum of the local school.

What we suggest is that you contact us, (through your preferred agent), with your group size, for example, 50 grade 6 children from Japan, and they would like to do a full-day education based exchange program with a local school, with the same amount of children, in the same age group-

We then find the most suitable school, invite them to participate, and from there, design an itinerary. The most popular for a day exchange is as follows:

OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES AVAILABLE DAILY (minimum 2 pax)

Horse-riding: $110.00 per adult/$95 per child
Pony lead rides: (for children) $25 per child (20 mins)
Abseiling & Rock-climbing: $100 per person (half day activity) min age 12
Flying Fox: $25 per person (1 hour)
Landsliding: $25 per person (1 hour)
Mini Cattle Muster - $180 per person (min 12 years)

WATERFALLS, WILDLIFE & PARONELLA PARK DAY TOUR
