With small group sizes, comfortable custom-built air-conditioned 4WD vehicles and a local guide you will go further, see more and enjoy a personalised experience.

Once we have collected you from your accommodation your adventure begins with a spectacularly scenic drive north along the Captain Cook Highway to our first stop of the day the majestic Daintree River. On arrival, it will be time for a spot of morning tea (tea, coffee & biscuits) before embarking on a 1 Hour Daintree River Cruise where you will enjoy the informative commentary and try to spot some of the local wildlife including Estuarine Crocodiles.

Heading further north we arrive at Daintree Rainforest where you can stretch your legs with a guided tour along the elevated National Park Boardwalk. Your experienced guide will help you to identify flora and fauna as we search for the elusive, rare Southern Cassowary and other incredible wildlife.

Once we have finished our Rainforest walk it will be time to enjoy a tasty lunch at a local cafe. There is also time for a refreshing swim in the heart of the Daintree Rainforest. Cool down under the lush canopy, a beautiful experience you won't forget.

Next up, stroll along Cape Tribulation Beach and to the lookout - where the rainforest meets the reef! This stunning location is perfect for those who want to snap some beautiful photos and take in the scenery.

On our way to drop you back at your accommodation, we make one last stop at Daintree Ice-Cream Company for an exotic homemade ice cream.

Je recommande

Excursion très intéressante pour découvrir le nord de l’Australie ! Warren était investi pour nous raconter un max d’informations. Je pense que le son dans le minibus peu être amélioré car parfois ce n’était pas facile à entendre.

Graeme was fantastic

I went on the tour as a solo traveller and the group was so wonderful and welcoming! I got super lucky. While travelling around Australia I have done a bunch of day trips and this was genuinely the best guided one. Graeme knew everything!!! He could talk for hours about wildlife and it was so interesting and fabulous. The drive was smooth, the lunch was delicious and the rainforest was fantastic. We saw crocodiles and a cassowary! Would 100% recommend!

A fantastic day out

I'm really pleased I decided to do this tour, it's a fantastic day out. It was a smallish group (17) who headed north. Our first stop was a cruise on the Daintree and we saw 5 crocs along the way. The lunch spot was lovely and the food was pretty tasty and a good selection. Highlight for me was the wander through the rainforest and Mick our guide was very knowledgeable and pointed things out to us along the way. Then we head to Cape Tribulation and had a wee wander on the beach before stopping at a tropical fruit place where we got served up some delicious ice cream in flavours I'd never heard of!! Picked up and dropped off door to door, a great day!

Awesome day

Amazing day in the rainforest and Cape Tribulation Had the best time on the Billy Tea tour. The scenery was stunning, the guide was awesome, and the meal was excellent. Jumping into the creek for a cool, refreshing swim was amazing. Plus, we got lucky and saw a cassowary! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting.
