Sample Itinerary
Your naturalist guide will meet you at your accommodation and after introductions all round we then drive north along the scenic route via Mossman to Cape Tribulation.
Lush farmland contrasts with seascape as we approach the majestic Daintree River. Time for a short morning tea break then its 'all aboard' for an informative Daintree River cruise. Relax and enjoy the splendour only the Daintree can offer as you learn of Estuarine Crocodiles, mangrove forests and wildlife, this is nature at its best!
We ascend the Alexandra Range and pause for a panoramic view of World Heritage Tropical Rainforest merging with the azure colours of the Coral Sea. Experience the rainforest intimately on our elevated National Park Boardwalk. Accurate interpretations of flora and fauna will be given with ample time for photographs and questions as we search for the elusive, rare, and totally unique Southern Cassowary and other wildlife species within this habitat.
A delicious lunch is served at a local café (special dietary requirements must be notified at time of booking or at least 48 hours prior to travel). Our tour does a little more, it takes you beyond Cape Tribulation along 7kms of the 4WD Bloomfield Track to pristine Emmagen Creek where you enjoy a refreshing rainforest freshwater swim without the crowds. Seek fish and turtles in the creek, butterflies and exotic birds in the trees which enhance the tranquil surroundings.
At Cape Tribulation Beach, spend time strolling along the beach and boardwalk to the photographers' platform overlooking the mountains and coast where the 'Rainforest meets the Reef. A perfect photo opportunity!
Before beginning the journey home, we stop for a short afternoon refreshment stop for an exotic homegrown icecream at the Daintree Ice-creamery (ice cream at own cost). Sample unique flavours like Black Sapote, Soursop, Wattle Seed, Jackfruit and Coconut. Then, it is time to cross the Daintree River by cable ferry to begin our homeward journey somewhat wiser for our 'Total
