Scenic Coastal Drive
Your day starts by being picked up by your local eco-accredited tour guide. As you meet and greet your fellow travellers, sit back and relax as we begin to make our way to the Daintree Rainforest. This coastal scenic road is one of the best drives in the world, so have your camera ready!
Daintree River Cruise
After a light morning tea refreshment (coffee, tea and biscuits), it's time to board your Daintree River cruise. This peaceful and relaxing 1 hour Daintree River Cruise is exactly what the doctor ordered sprinkled with a little adventure spotting crocodiles, other native Australian wildlife and mangroves.
Alexandra Lookout *temporarily unavailable*
Alexandra Lookout provides a fantastic photo opportunity. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the Daintree Rainforest to the ocean. *This stop is temporarily unavailable due to flood damage.
Guided Rainforest Walk
Your local guide will then take you along an elevated boardwalk into the Daintree National Park, providing details on the flora, fauna and cultural history and significance of the Daintree Rainforest.
Freshwater Swim in the Rainforest
Cool off with a freshwater swim. This also makes for a fabulous photo opportunity and is relaxing and refreshing! Swimming in the middle of the Daintree Rainforest?! What more could you ask for?
Lunch in the Daintree
Enjoy lunch with your fellow travellers. All dietary requirements must be notified at the time of reservation, or at least 48 hours' notice before travel.
Cape Tribulation Beach Walk
Stroll along the famous Cape Tribulation Beach and up to the lookout and see where the rainforest meets the reef.
Daintree Ice-cream
Your Daintree Rainforest day tour is complete with a stop for an exotic homegrown ice cream at the Daintree Ice Creamery. You will be amazed at the array of flavours, made from the orchids on their property. After your sweet ice cream treat, and a little explore of this lush property, it's time to head home. Signature ice cream cup included.
Small group experience
The group size is kept small, with only under 20 passengers, so that you have a more personalised experience. As the oldest Rainforest in the World, this is something to tick off your bucket list!
