This exciting day tour begins when our friendly and experienced driver/guide picks you up from your accommodation. leaving Cairns and the Northern Beaches, we travel along one of Australia's most spectacular coastal drives to the resort village of Port Douglas. After visiting some of the highlights of Port Douglas and learning of its interesting history, your guide will explain the unique geographic and historic features of the area as you travel to the beautiful Mossman Gorge, part of the World Heritage-listed Daintree National Park.

Strangler figs and epiphytic plants flourish and the crystal-clear Mossman River cascades over huge granite boulders. The area is also home to colorful Boyd's forest dragons. Stroll along the 400 meter walking track to viewing platforms over the Mossman River. Look for the brilliant blue Ulysses butterfly and birds such as the eastern yellow robin. Take the loop track through lush, green Mesophyll rainforest with your eco-tour guide to learn about the plants and find out how the local Kuku Yalanji people use them in traditional ways.

Back into the comfort of our modern vehicle, we drive to the Daintree River where morning tea is provided before embarking on a one hour Daintree river cruise. The Daintree River is home to a diverse ecosystem and the cruise guide will help you spot some of the wildlife including birds, snakes, frogs, flying foxes and crocodiles. Have your cameras ready!

After the river cruise, we travel up to the spectacular Alexander Range Lookout before arriving at our private lunch location at The Daintree Entomological (insect) Museum. This quaint museum houses the largest live and dead collection of insects in Australia. You will be taken on an interesting 15 minute guided tour of the Museum. You will learn some very interesting facts about these creatures and how they play such an important part in the ecological balance of our rainforest. While learning about these critters, your eco-tour guide will be preparing your delicious Aussie BBQ lunch. On offer is a splendid spread of fresh Barramundi, sumptuous steak and tropical salads and seasonal local fruits. You may also wish to enjoy a refreshing swim at our beautiful private rainforest creek.

After Lunch, we travel further north to the isolated Cape Tribulation where the beach beckons for you to stroll along it's coral sands. This is the only place on Earth where two World Heritage listed areas kiss/meet. There is time to visit the Cape Tribulation lookout before departing for a relaxing and informative guided walk through the Cape Tribulation National park. Using your imagination, you could easily picture dinosaurs trudging through this prehistoric rainforest. After the walk, you will be offered afternoon tea before boarding our air-conditioned vehicle to traverse the Alexander Range where you will see the rare and primitive King Ferns growing in abundance. We then cross the river by Cable Barge and enjoy a leisurely drive to Cairns with spectacular views of the Coral Sea. We say farewell to you when we return you to your accommodation.
