The Experience

What your day looks like

Join us on our purpose-built vehicle, exploring the ancient lowland rainforests of the World Heritage-listed Cape Tribulation and Daintree National Parks. This eco-accredited tour is led by experienced guides who have been selected based on their local knowledge and tour guiding experience, ensuring you a most memorable day. This morning, our driver/guide will collect you and start your journey north along the scenic coastal drive of the Captain Cook Highway. Our first stop this morning is Mossman Gorge Centre, where you will enjoy a morning tea before boarding the shuttle bus into Mossman Gorge itself. Discover pristine waters and ancient rainforests on a driver-guided walk through Mossman Gorge. The next stop is the Daintree River Cruise Centre- keep an eye out for the predatory Saltwater Crocodile and other abundant wildlife on a 1-hour river cruise. Enjoy lunch in a beautiful rainforest setting. After lunch, we will visit Cape Tribulation Beach; named by Captain James Cook on his voyage of discovery in 1770. It’s then time to turn south and travel back for a stop at the Daintree Ice Cream Company. A refreshing fruit ice cream is included here; made from exotic fruits grown on their on-site fruit orchard. Gluten and dairy-free options are available. The last stop today is the Alexandra Lookout – a great photo opportunity with views across the rainforest canopy out to the Daintree River mouth and the Coral Sea. Sit back and enjoy the journey back after a wonderful day. GPS-activated commentary is available in 6 languages on this tour.
