Please note that we have made slight changes to our usual itineraries due to the flooding damage and ongoing road closure caused by Cyclone Jasper. We endeavour to showcase the best available locations in Mossman Gorge, the Daintree River and the Daintree Rainforest. The new itinerary still includes a scenic coastal drive, morning tea, and the wildlife spotting cruise on the Daintree River, however, we can only access to Alexandra Lookout when it’s open. Picnic Lunch is included or you are welcome to bring your own. We will also visit the Daintree Ice-Cream Co., Mossman Gorge, have a guided rainforest walk and Rex Lookout (not from Port Douglas).
The day begins in Cairns at 8am, where we’ll pick you up and make our way through the breath-taking scenery of Australia’s north coast. First, we’ll stop off at Mossman Gorge, one of the region’s most memorable landmarks. Here, you can marvel at the surrounding rainforest and go for a refreshing swim in the cooling water.
Afterwards, it’s time for morning tea before we head over the Daintree River on a cable ferry. We’ll make our way to Cape Tribulation where you can take a stroll through the ancient Gondwana Rainforest and marvel at the views from the Alexandra Range Lookout.
Next, we’ll make our way to the Marrdja or Jindalba Boardwalk which is surrounded by huge, ancient trees and lush mangrove swamps.
For lunch, we’ll indulge in a picnic on the beautiful sands of Cape Tribulation Beach before taking a walk along the shoreline and learning more about the spot where rainforest meets reef. We’ll then make our way back to the Daintree River with some stunning views to take in.
In the afternoon, it’s time for some crocodile spotting on the Daintree River. We’ll take a cruise along the estuary, where you can catch a glimpse of these magnificent creatures and learn more about their habitat. We’ll also keep an eye out for pythons, butterflies, and other native species on the cruise.
Then it’s time to head home. On the way, we’ll stop off at the Rex Range Lookout before our final stop back in Cairns.
