Daintree, Mossman Gorge & Wildlife Tour

Most Daintree day trips mean a long haul in a diesel bus and a quick photo stop. This one runs on a new electric coach in a small group, and every trip feeds into Tropic Wings' Reforest program, so your day out leaves the rainforest a little better than it found it.You're picked up from your Cairns hotel or Northern Beaches stay and head north along the coast. At Mossman Gorge you're welcomed onto Kuku Yalanji Country with a traditional Welcome to Country and smoking ceremony, then you walk through the rainforest with a guide down to the Mossman River, where clear water runs over big granite boulders. Pack your swimmers, the swimming holes are right there. Curious how gorge access usually works? Our Mossman Gorge shuttle guide explains it, though on this tour it's all handled for you.Then it's onto the Daintree River for a cruise through the mangroves, eyes peeled for wild estuarine crocodiles, kingfishers and sea eagles. At Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas a guided wildlife tour takes you through recreated habitats full of Aussie animals, with morning tea included, and a café lunch keeps you going. The ride home takes in Rex Lookout and Great Barrier Reef Drive, one of the prettiest coastal roads in Queensland.Thinking of more time up north? Our Daintree and Cape Tribulation guide shows what else is worth your days. Explore the day, check availability for your dates, then book when it suits.
