About this experience

Travel to the Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation with a knowledgeable guide. Spot wildlife in their natural habitat, enjoy beautiful views, and learn about the area's flora and fauna.

What to expect

Explore Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation. Ride a 4WD vehicle as you spot wildlife, catch incredible views, and try regional food along the way.

After being picked up in a 4WD, make your way north along the Captain Cook Highway. Stop first at the Daintree Cruise Centre for a quick tea, coffee, and biscuits before setting out to explore the Daintree River on a 1-hour guided cruise. During your cruise, you may spot estuarine crocodiles in the wild, from youngsters to massive 4-meter adults. Learn about the birds and wildlife that make this area their home.

At the Daintree Rainforest boardwalk, you'll go on an informative guided tour to experience the National Park's beauty up close. See ancient 900-year-old palms and keep your eye out for wildlife native to the area.

After exploring all morning, you'll be ready for lunch. Enjoy lunch with your fellow travellers and cool off with a refreshing swim in the heart of the Daintree Rainforest.

Head to Cape Tribulation Beach for a stroll along the beach to admire the views. Those feeling a little more energetic can take the short botanical boardwalk to the Cape Tribulation beach lookout.

Stop at the Daintree’s hidden secret, the Daintree ice creamery. Your taste buds will be tantalized with exotic tropical fruit homemade ice cream. A signature scoop of ice cream is included.

As the day comes to an end after taking the ferry back across, head back toward Port Douglas and Cairns, where you'll be dropped off at your accommodation.
