Best Daintree Rainforest & Cape Tribulation Tours & Day Trips

The oldest rainforest in the world, the Daintree Rainforest, is located just a two hour drive from Cairns in Queensland’s tropical north. Its age predates the Amazon by millions of years and contains an abundance of biodiversity, flourishing vegetation, and ancient Indigenous culture. The rainforest has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1988, captivating visitors with its rich history and unique wildlife.

Home to crystal clear streams and tranquil swimming holes, the Daintree Rainforest offers stunning nature walks along with a few modern essentials like the Daintree Ice Cream Company. During your time in the rainforest, you may be able to spot a cassowary lurking along the forest floor or a crocodile lounging on the banks of the river. There’s no need for alarm if you see one of these wild creatures, as you’ll always be a safe distance away and in the care of a highly experienced guide on any Daintree Rainforest tour!

Daintree Rainforest day tours are a great way to experience the best of the region. The rainforest sits in close proximity to the Great Barrier Reef and the pristine beaches of Cape Tribulation, which are often part of many Daintree Rainforest day trips. Be prepared to embark on an unforgettable adventure while exploring this beautiful area.

Daintree Rainforest Tours from Cairns

Spend a day exploring this dazzling region of Tropical North Queensland with one of our return options from Cairns. Our Cape Tribulation and Daintree Rainforest Day Tour is perfect for all types of travellers. Our guide will share a wealth of local knowledge about the flora, fauna, geology, and culture of this ancient region as you enjoy guided rainforest walks. A visit to Mossman Gorge provides a chance to learn about the Kuku Yalanji people, traditional custodians of the Daintree Rainforest. You’ll get to tuck into a picnic lunch on Cape Tribulation Beach, admire the views from Alexandra Lookout, spot crocs on a wildlife cruise and so much more!

Get even more out of a Daintree Rainforest day trip with our Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation Tour with Port Douglas. The tour includes an extra stop to begin the day with a morning tea in the chic town of Port Douglas, followed by a stroll along the beach and a swim in the warm coastal waters. We’ll then travel a bit off the beaten path to swim in a secluded swimming hole and less visited parts of the Daintree Rainforest. In the afternoon we embark on a cruise to spot crocodiles and take in some more spectacular views of the stunning area to end an action-packed day.

Explore Our Cape Tribulation Tours

Spend the night and uncover even more of Cape Tribulation and the Daintree Rainforest over the course of two days. Our Cape Tribulation and Daintree Overnight Tour is similar to our one-day tour listed above, but we explore the area at a more leisurely pace, allowing for plenty of free time to enjoy the rainforest as you wish. You can make this trip your own as you are able to choose to use your free time kayaking down the river, horse-riding along hiking paths, or relaxing in the calm surroundings of the rainforest. In the morning, you will have a few more hours in nature before jumping on an exciting crocodile spotting cruise and heading back to Cairns.

For a fully guided overnight experience, join our Two Day Cape Tribulation and Daintree Tour. This adventure-filled tour includes a natural rock slide at Josephine Falls, an opportunity to spot elusive platypus, an evening canoe tour, and much more. Enjoy some free time in the morning on day two and explore more of the Daintree before arriving back in Cairns in the evening. It’s the best way to see all the Daintree Rainforest has to offer!
