The Tour
Your naturalist guide will meet you at your accommodation and after introductions all around we drive north along the scenic route to Mossman. Lush farmland contrasts with seascape as we approach the majestic Daintree River.
Time for a short morning tea break then its -all aboard- for an informative river cruise. Relax and enjoy the splendour only the Daintree can offer as you learn of estuarine crocodiles, mangrove forests, wildlife, this is nature at its best. We then ascend the Alexandra Range, pause for a panoramic view of the World Heritage Tropical Rainforest merging with the coral Sea. A delicious BBQ with home made salads, tropical fruit and Australian wine is prepared whilst you can take the opportunity to swim in tranquil freshwater stream.
Look for fish and turtles in the creek, butterflies and exotic birds in the trees, and often goannas on the forest floor, all at our luncheon site. We have no set timetable or schedule as such, so throw away your watch and enjoy elevated walks through the Cape Tribulation National Park with experienced guides who allow ample time for questions and photographs.
Our tour does a little more. It takes you beyond Cape Tribulation along the 4WD only 'Bloomfield Track', allows time for a swim in the coral Sea at Cape Tribulation (seasonal) where the Rainforest meets the Reef.
A short afternoon refreshment stop where you may like to pat a kangaroo, scratch a cockatoo, have a cold beer or sip a cup of the local tea, we then begin our homeward journey somewhat wiser from our Rainforest Experience.
