Police say six international tourists went camping in the Goldsborough Valley, south of Cairns, over the weekend.
Two returned to the Tablelands, but the remaining four became trapped after heavy rains flooded parts of the valley.
A friend of the group notified police when the three men and one woman failed to return to work on Tuesday.
Police said there was no phone signal in the area where the campers were based.
