The tropical rainforests of Far North Queensland provide an abundance of plant and animal life co-existing in a relatively stable complex ecosystem.

The Daintree and Cape Tribulation Rainforests are no exception and have recently been given World Heritage status.

Port Douglas
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

Mossman Gorge - Daintree Rainforest
After visiting some of the highlights of Port Douglas, your guide will explain the unique geographic and historic features of the area enroute to Mossman Gorge, part of the Daintree Rainforest. At Mossman Gorge you may swim in the cool pristine waters or join your driver for a guided rainforest walk. Back into the comfort of our four wheel drive vehicle, we drive to the Daintree River where morning tea is provided before embarking 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 in the cooler months, crocodiles can be seen lazing on the muddy banks.

After the river cruise, we travel up to the spectacular Alexander Range Lookout before arriving at our private lunch location at a tropical orchard. On offer is a splendid barbecue lunch of fresh fish, sumptuous steak and tropical salads and fruits. Enjoy a refreshing swim at our secluded swimming hole while lunch is cooking or wander amongst the many exotic tropical fruit Trees.

Cape Tribulation - Alexander Range
After Lunch, we travel further north to the isolated Cape Tribulation, where the beach beckons for you to stroll along it's coral sands. There is time to visit the Lookout before departing for a relaxing and informative guided walk through the Cape Tribulation National park. By visiting this area, you can appreciate the importance of this rainforest and why it has recently been given Would Heritage status. Using your imagination, you could easily picture dinosaurs trudging through this ancient forest. After the walk, you will be offered afternoon tea before boarding our air-conditioned 4 x 4 vehicle to transverse 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.
