From Port Douglas: Daintree Rainforest & Mossman Gorge Tour

Journey through the lush Daintree Rainforest, discover the remote beauty of Cape Tribulation, and explore the pristine waters of Mossman Gorge, all in one unforgettable day of adventure.

Set off on a full-day journey where two of Australia’s natural icons come together—the Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. Begin with pickup from your Port Douglas accommodation and head to your first stop, Mossman Gorge, nestled in the southern part of the timeless Daintree National Park.

Here, the Mossman River winds its way through towering rainforest and massive granite boulders. Be welcomed by the Traditional Owners, the Kuku Yalanji people, who invite you to take part in a traditional Welcome to Country and Smoke Ceremony—a spiritual cleansing deeply rooted in Aboriginal culture.

Follow your expert guide on a breathtaking rainforest walk, and take a optional refreshing dip in the clear mountain waters before continuing your adventure. Continue your journey north to the Daintree River, where you’ll board a Wildlife Cruise and drift through this ancient waterway teeming with life. Watch for crocodiles and other native creatures as your guide shares insights into the delicate ecosystems of the river.

After the cruise, enjoy a delicious lunch in a scenic rainforest setting. Refueled and refreshed, set off on a guided walk through the vibrant rainforest — this is where the Daintree Rainforest meets the Great Barrier Reef. The only place on Earth where two UNESCO World Heritage sites come together.

To finish, stop at the Daintree Ice Cream Co. and choose to sample their unique, locally made flavours (at your own expense) before the comfortable drive back to your accommodation.
