Our 1 day Cape Tribulation and Daintree Rainforest tour are the perfect way to explore the tropical scenery of Queensland, soaking up the marvellous landscapes and getting to know the history of the area. During the day, you’ll be able to get up close and personal with some of Australia’s best-loved wildlife and walk among ancient plant life in the rainforest.
Crocodile Spotting River Cruise
After driving from Cairns and arriving in the Daintree National Park, we’ll enjoy a cup of tea on the banks before delving straight into the first activity of the day: crocodile spotting.
This adventurous cruise takes place on the river, where you’ll spend an hour spotting magnificent crocs with the help of a knowledgeable local guide. As well as getting to know the habitats and habits of these creatures, you’ll learn more about the ecosystem of the region and have the chance to spot other animals, like reptiles, huge butterflies, and colourful birds.
Delve into the Daintree Rainforest
Back on dry land, we’ll head straight into the Daintree Rainforest, where you can marvel at the dense jungle scenery and spot wildlife as you go. A local guide will share stories along the way as we head to Marrdia Boardwalk for a stunning rainforest walk. The hike takes about 1 hour, where you’ll learn more about the spectacular scenery, discover ancient plant species, and take in the impossibly clear waters of meandering streams.
Cape Tribulation
Next up, we’ll head straight on to Cape Tribulation, where we’ll stop for a delicious picnic. Afterwards, there’ll be plenty of time for you to check out the Cape Tribulation beach and the surrounding landscape.
Alexandra Range
When beach time is over, we’ll head straight to the Alexandra Range, where you can soak
up the spectacular views of the Daintree Rainforest, the River, and the Coastal Hinterland from an elevated viewpoint.
Mossman Gorge
To finish the day, we’ll take you to Mossman Gorge, where we’ll stop for an afternoon tea before heading back to Cairns via the quaint village of Port Douglas. From here, there will be some time to enjoy the views of Trinity Bay, Coral Bay, and the Great Barrier Reef before this exciting day trip comes to and end.
Back in Cairns, you’ll be able to reflect on all the fun and adventure you’ve had during the day, and look back over your photos of the stunning scenery, the amazing wildlife, and the incredible views.
