This premium full-day tour includes the Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation, Mossman Gorge and Port Douglas. It takes in the best bits of lush tropical rainforest, cascading rivers and the iconic Cape Tribulation beach, the only place on earth where two natural World Heritage listed sites, the Great Barrier Reef and Wet Tropics Rainforest, exist side by side. This tour is a great value and also includes a Daintree River Cruise, morning tea and a quality restaurant lunch. If you’re looking for a Daintree tour from Port Douglas or Cairns, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll travel with a small group in a comfortable air-conditioned, late-model vehicle. This tour operates daily with pick-ups from Cairns, Northern Beaches and Port Douglas.

This premium full-day tour has pick-ups in Cairns, the northern beaches and Port Douglas. Where you commence your journey, will impact the itinerary slightly. For those being collected in Cairns and the beaches, the day begins with a trip along the scenic Great Barrier Reef Drive, to Port Douglas. The road hugs the mountainside, and we stop at Rex Lookout to enjoy stunning views of the Coral Sea. From here, we cruise to Port Douglas, picking up any extra guests and stopping at Flagstaff Hill which overlooks 4 Mile Beach.

The next stop is Mossman Gorge, where we refresh with local tea, coffee or a cold drink, before exploring this secluded gorge and rainforest paradise. The cool, clear waters of Mossman River tumble through and over giant granite boulders. We’ll take a guided walk and you have the opportunity for a swim, should you wish to do so. We then enjoy a quality restaurant lunch, with a choice of meals available, before stepping aboard a boat to take a 1-hour cruise on the Daintree River. Keep your eyes peeled for crocodiles and other local wildlife.

Driving on to the Daintree River Cable Crossing, it’s a short ride over and into the ancient Daintree Rainforest. Alexandra lookout provides panoramic views over the Daintree delta, river and out to the Coral Sea. We then wander beneath the ancient rainforest trees on a guided botanical walk, learning more about the biodiversity of the amazing ecosystem.

Cape Tribulation is where the rainforest meets the reef and you can take it all in from the Kulki Lookout. This is the most northern point of our day tour adventure, so from here we begin the journey home, but not before pausing at a local Daintree Ice-Cream Company where you can purchase locally made tropical ice-cream (at your own expense).

If your return destination is Port Douglas, we’ll get you into town around 17:30. Cairns and the northern beaches a little later. One amazing day in our very own, natural paradise.
