Join us for a day trip from Cairns to the Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation, where the world’s oldest tropical rainforest meets the Great Barrier Reef.

Highlights

  • Scenic experience on the scenic coastal drive
  • Welcome to Country and Smoke Ceremony at Mossman Gorge with the Traditional Owners
  • The chance for a fresh-water swim at Mossman Gorge
  • Guided rainforest boardwalk
  • Crocodile spotting on the Wildlife Cruise

Join us for a day trip to the Daintree Rainforest, where the world’s oldest tropical rainforest meets the iconic Great Barrier Reef. This unique region is the only place on Earth where two World Heritage-listed sites exist side by side. With its incredible natural beauty and ecological significance, this full-day tour allows plenty of time to explore and appreciate this remarkable environment.


Heading north our first stop is at Mossman Gorge, which is in the southern sector of the world-famous Daintree National Park. This gorge has been carved out by the cold mountain waters of Mossman River. It's a magical place and you'll participate in a "Welcome to Country and Smoke Ceremony" with the traditional owners.

Next, it’s time to explore this ancient rainforest environment on an interesting, guided tour of the Mossman Gorge. Our highly trained guides will give expert rainforest interpretation, which will inform and impress. Be amazed at the huge diversity you will encounter, everything from low lying ferns and shrubs to the massive rainforest canopy.

There is an opportunity for you to enjoy a refreshing swim in the cascading waters.


Your next stop will be a Wildlife Cruise on the Daintree River where you might see a crocodile and other native wildlife, while learning about the fragile ecosystem of this impressive serpent-like river system.

You are now on the north side on the Daintree River where our guide will meet you for your next stop.


Enjoy a delicious lunch in the rainforest, before a guided rainforest and beach walk. Here you will be able to see 'Where the Rainforest meets the Reef' - 2 UNESCO World-Heritage Listed Sites.


Your final stop of the day will be at the Daintree Ice Cream Co – where you can enjoy deliciously exotic fruit ice cream made on site, in small artisan style batches. Yum! [At own cost.]


Then it’s back on to the bus for the return journey to your accommodation.

Fantastischer Tag im Daintree Rainforest

Wir werden diesen Tag in Erinnerung behalten. Diese unglaubliche Natur im ältesten Regenwald der Welt hat uns wirklich begeistert. Unser Guide war super und hat uns viel zum Regenwald erklärt. Die Tour war bestens organisiert. Auf dem Rückweg haben wir sogar noch die legendären Kasuare gesehen.

Lustige Tour dank Tourguide

Die Tour hat Spaß gemacht und war sehr informativ! Es war ein straffer Zeitplan und man hatte an den einzelnen Stopps nicht all zu viel Zeit aber es war genug. Das Highlight waren die Krokodile auf der Daintree Rover Cruise. Beim zurück fahren mussten wir leider eine Stunde warten um auf die Fähre zu kommen. Aber Tourguide Ely hat sich sehr viel Mühe gegeben uns zu unterhalten und so verging die Zeit recht schnell.

Average experience

The tour guide was not flexible about timing, the lunch was awful, cold and not tasty. Mature people need to go to bathroom more than others, and it should be an understanding about that. The rest was fine.
