FIRST DAY TOUR ITINERARY

This exciting day tour begins when our friendly and experienced driver/guide picks you up from your accommodation. leaving Cairns and the Northern Beaches, we travel along one of Australia's most spectacular coastal drives to the resort village of Port Douglas. After visiting some of the highlights of Port Douglas, your guide will explain the unique geographic and historic features of the area en-route to Mossman Gorge, part of the Daintree Rainforest. At Mossman Gorge you may swim in the cool pristine waters or join your driver for a guided rainforest walk. Back into the comfort of our modern vehicle, we drive to the Daintree River where morning tea is provided before embarking a one hour Daintree river cruise. The Daintree River is home to a diverse ecosystem and the cruise guide will help you spot some of the wildlife including birds, snakes, frogs, flying foxes and in the cooler months, crocodiles can be seen lazing on the muddy banks.

After the river cruise, we travel up to the spectacular Alexander Range Lookout before arriving at our private lunch location at The Daintree Entomological Museum. Be taken on a 15 minute guided tour of the Museum, while your tour guide prepares your BBQ lunch. On offer is a splendid spread of fresh fish, sumptuous steak and tropical salads and fruits. Enjoy a refreshing swim at our secluded rainforest creek while lunch is cooking.

After your quality Aussie BBQ lunch, we travel further north to the isolated and exotic Cape Tribulation, where the beach beckons for you to stroll along it's coral sands. There is ample free time to visit the Lookout and stroll along this beautiful beach. This small stretch of beach is the only place on our planet where two World Heritage listed areas meet. It is, as we say, "Where the Rainforest meets the Reef". After your visit to this unique beach, you will be dropped at your Cape Tribulation accommodation.

LAST DAY TOUR ITINERARY

After a night or two relaxing at your accommodation you will be collected by your friendly Trek North guide at 2.45pm. The afternoon includes a relaxing and informative guided walk through the Cape Tribulation National park, at either the Madja or Jindalba boardwalk. By visiting this area, you can appreciate the importance of this rainforest and why it has recently been given World Heritage status. Using your imagination, you could easily picture dinosaurs trudging through this ancient forest. After the walk, you will be offered afternoon tea before boarding our air-conditioned vehicle to transverse the Alexander Range where you will see the rare and primitive King Ferns growing in abundance. We then cross the river by Cable Barge and enjoy a leisurely drive to Cairns with spectacular views of the Coral Sea. We say farewell to you when we return you to your Cairns or Northern Beaches Accommodation.
