This park protects the endangered Mabi forest, characterised by semi-deciduous canopy trees allowing ample light to reach the forest floor. Notably, it houses a unique fig tree with extensive aerial roots forming a striking "curtain" effect. Originating from a seed dropped high in the canopy, the strangler fig gradually strangled its host tree, leaving a freestanding fig tree estimated to be over 500 years old, nearly 50 meters tall, with a trunk circumference of 39 meters.
Blue Adventures Wildlife tours is actively planting trees with ReForest Australia to help restore the region to pre industrial logging days.

During our private wildlife tours, we include a stop at Granite Gorge Nature Park, where you'll have the opportunity to observe the Mareeba rock-wallaby (Petrogale mareeba). This rare species of rock-wallaby is native to the Mareeba area and was officially recognized as a separate species in 1992. It's a chance to witness firsthand the unique biodiversity of the region.
