Join us for a day trip to Cape Tribulation from Cairns, where the world’s oldest continually surviving tropical rainforests meets the Great Barrier Reef
Join us for a day trip to Cape Tribulation, where the world’s oldest continually surviving tropical rainforests meets the world’s greatest living tropical reef, the Great Barrier Reef. This is the only place on the planet where two natural World Heritage listed sites exist side by side. Such is the natural beauty and precious value of this, We give you ample time to explore this truly stunning piece of paradise on this full day tour
We begin the adventure with a scenic coastal drive from Cairns to Mossman. This is the far north’s very own version of the Great Ocean Road, providing panoramic views over the sparkling Coral Sea!
Heading north our first stop is at Mossman Gorge, which is in the southern sectorof the world famous Daintree National Park. This gorge has been carved out by the cold mountain waters of Mossman River. It's a magical place and you'll particpate in a "Welcome to Country" with the traditional owners.
Next, it’s time to explore this ancient rainforest environment on an interesting, guided tour of the Mossman Gorge. Our highly trained guides will give expert rainforest interpretation, which will inform and impress. Be amazed at the huge diversity you will encounter, everything from low lying ferns and shrubs to the massive rainforest canopy.
There is an opportunity for you to enjoy a refreshing swim in the cascading waters.
Continuing north we stop in Daintree Village for lunch. Next you will join a Wildlife Cruise on the Daintree River where you might see a crocodile, while learning about the fragile ecosystem of this impressive serpent-like river system.
You are now on the north side on the Daintree River where our guide will meet you for you next stop. We head to Thornton’s Beach – where the rainforest meets the reef. Enjoy the beautiful views of the lower ranges of Thornton Peak.
Pending time we will stop at – the Daintree Ice Cream Co – where you can enjoy deliciously exotic fruit ice cream made on site, in small artisan style batches. Yum! [At own cost.]
Then it’s back on to the bus for the return journey to Cairns, including a quick drive through Port Douglas, a picturesque beachside village with a laid-back vibe and loads of bars and cafes.
Carlos is the best guide… Cairns Adventure Group Is highly organised and recommended.
Thank you so much for your kind review! Carlos is amazing and we are glad he could help you have an amazing time!
We thoroughly enjoyed our day taking in the sights and learning more about the country we live on.Unfortunately we didn’t come across a croc ,however we did see our first jabaru . The lunch at Daintree was yummy . Carlos was very informative and shared some great stories. I also appreciated the choice of music in the playlist …..danger zone and don’t pay the ferryman perfectly timed lol Good one thanks Carlos for showing us a taste of North Queensland
It was a pleasure having you travel with us! So glad to hear all of the amazing experiences you had throughout the day! Hopefully next time we will be able to get you that Croc encounter!
I’m deeply disappointed with my recent Cape Tribulation and Daintree Rainforest tour. Despite four follow-ups, I received a generic response. The tour was misleading, as it didn’t include Cape Tribulation as advertised. The most troubling part was Clinton’s rude, unprofessional, and misogynistic behavior. This was never properly addressed. I’ve shared my experience on Facebook and TripAdvisor to warn others. Customers deserve better.
Esther was a great guide and enjoyed the itinerary
Esther is incredible and we are so glad you got to experience the magic of the Daintree along with us!
