WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Continue the journey north along one of the most picturesque coastal drives in the world, stopping at Rex Lookout for views over Trinity Beach and back towards the mountains of the Great Dividing Range.
2.
The next stop is the small seaside village of Port Douglas for short town tour before heading to Mossman Gorge on the southern edge of the Daintree World Heritage area. Here you’ll enjoy morning tea in the New Mossman Gorge Centre.
3.
Enjoy a morning tea of freshly baked damper (scones) served with Local Jams, Coffee & Tea. Board a shuttle bus accompanied by your Naturalist or Eco/World Heritage accredited guide and head up to the national park for a guided walk in dense tropical rainforest. Enjoy the views over the huge granite boulders and crystal clear waters of the Mossman River. If time and weather permits you will be able to refreshing swim.
4.
Heading further north and passing the sugar cane fields of North Queensland, stop for delicious lunch at the Daintree Tea House, the longest-established restaurant in the Daintree area that serves local produce of the highest standards.
5.
After lunch, join a small and personalized cruise on the Daintree River. If you are lucky enough, you may even spot the elusive crocodile.
6.
Shortly after, arrive at the Daintree River and board the cable ferry to cross this mighty river. The journey home gives you time to relax and reflect on your day before you are returned to your accommodation.
7.
Continue further north, stopping at Marrdja or Jindalbe Boardwalk for a guided walk in one of the most bio-diverse areas in the Daintree Rainforest. From here, head to Cape Tribulation where two World Heritage areas meet – the Rainforest of the Daintree National Park and the Great Barrier Reef.
8.
Leaving Cape Tribulation Beach, venture south back toward The Daintree River, stopping along the way at one of the Daintree Ice Cream Shops for afternoon tea. Here you will have the opportunity to sample locally made ice-cream featuring seasonal fruits of the tropics (at own expense).
9.
Continuing north along winding and picturesque road toward Cape Tribulation. Along the way you’ll see even more wonders of the World Heritage-listed Daintree National Park. A stop at the Alexandra Lookout is an opportunity to look back over the coastal road just traveled and take in the breathtaking views over the Daintree River mouth, Snapper Island and Low Isles.

Steve really made the tour more interesting thanks to his cheerful attitude and knowledge on so many aspects (history, plants, animals, etc)
Definitely recommend if you want to see the Daintree forest and are short in time.
Going in a small group is also so much better

The tour guide was awesome. Very knowledgeable and experienced. Loved the ice Cream in the Daintree, the Daintree Rainforest, River Cruise, lunch at the Daintree Teahouse, and guided walk at Mossman Gorge. Very disappointed that we could not see the go Cape Tribulation. Considering the Cyclone went through LONG before we booked, that part of the itinerary should never been offered.

Jim/James kept us educated and entertained the whole day. Everything ran smoothly - from pick up at the scheduled time to drop off. The Mercedes Sprinter van was air conditioned and comfortable and handled the road and any bumps well.

Mossman Gorge, the suspension bridge and morning tea were our first stop. A couple of our group dared a quick swim.

The Daintree Teahouse provided a lovely lunch with a dozen different fruits to sample.

We enjoyed the cruise along the Daintree River where we spotted 2 female crocodiles and also saw some of the destruction left by the cyclone in December.

Next was a quick stop for ice-cream as we kept heading north.

From there the tour would usually go a little further to Cape Tribulation, however the cyclone has caused so much damage to the roads the end of the line for us was beautiful Thornton Beach, followed by the long journey back to Cairns.

Thanks to Jim/James for a great day!!

Good tour with a knowledgeable guide. Good lunch stop too. Stops and sights were easy to get to. Only minor issue was it would have been good to hear with more than one day's notice that Cape Tribulation we could not do on tour due to past weather damage. However this did not spoil the tour for me and just means I need to visit again.

The trip is as described, hitting all places on the itinerary. Steve is a great and knowledgeable tour guide. Yes, I would have preferred more time in the Daintree, but it is a long day. Overall, a good day trip.

Too much time on bus picking up people from Palm Cove And Port Douglas. Nothing was that interesting. 12 hour day with 9 hours on the bus. Better to rent a car and do it on your own.

Fantastic day and highly recommend. Our guide could not have done anymore for us. We were in a group of 16 in total and didn’t feel just a number. We enjoyed a fantastic lunch and learned so much en route to each of the locations
