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 enroute 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 four wheel drive 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 Lunch, we travel further north to the isolated Cape Tribulation,
where the beach beckons for you to stroll along it's coral sands.
There is time to visit the Lookout before departing for a relaxing
and informative guided walk through the Cape Tribulation National
park. By visiting this area, you can appreciate the importance of this
rainforest and why it has recently been given Would 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 4 x 4 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
