More Information/ Basic Itinerary:

This Cape Tribulation Day Tour begins with a friendly and experienced driver/guide taking you 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, your guide will explain the unique geographic and historic features of the area enroute to Mossman Gorge, part of the Daintree Rainforest. At Daintree River, 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 in the cooler months, crocodiles can be seen lazing on the muddy banks. After the river cruise, you will travel up to the spectacular Alexander Range Lookout before arriving at the private lunch location at The Daintree Entomological Museum. Be taken on a 15 minute guided tour of the Museum, while your tour guide prepares your BBQ lunch. On offer is a splendid spread of fresh fish, sumptuous steak and tropical salads and fruits. Enjoy a refreshing swim at the  secluded rainforest creek while lunch is cooking.  

After Lunch, you travel further north to the isolated Cape Tribulation, where the beach beckons for you to stroll along its coral sands. Here enjoy 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 been given Would Heritage status. After the walk, you will be offered afternoon tea before boarding the air-conditioned vehicle to transverse the Alexander Range where you will see the rare and primitive King Ferns growing in abundance. You will then cross the river by Cable Barge and enjoy a leisurely drive to Cairns with spectacular views of the Coral Sea.
