Full description
Embark on a day trip where the rainforest meets the reef. See natural sights including the Great Barrier Reef, experience a wildlife cruise, and participate in a smoke ceremony as you go. Start your adventure with a scenic coastal drive from Cairns to Port Douglas, the far north’s very own great ocean road with panoramic views of the sparkling Coral Sea. The first stop is Mossman Gorge, which is in the southern sector of the world-famous Daintree National Park. The gorge has been carved out by the cold mountain waters of the Mossman River, which winds through large granite boulders, bordered by lush green rainforest. It’s a magical place and you’ll be welcomed by the traditional owners, the Kuku Yalanji people, who will also cleanse you of evil spirits during a smoke ceremony. Also, enjoy a refreshing swim in the cascading waters. After crossing the mighty Daintree River and a lunch break, it’s time to explore the ancient rainforest environment on an interesting guided tour of the Marrdja Botanical Boardwalk. Highly trained guides will give expert rainforest interpretation, which will inform and impress. Be amazed at the huge diversity you will encounter, you will discover everything from low-lying ferns and shrubs, to the massive rainforest canopy and even mangrove ecosystems - all in one short easy walk. You can choose to taste locally made ice cream, at your own cost, and prepare for a photo opportunity at the Alexandra Range Lookout, which provides sweeping views over the Daintree River, its rainforest delta, and out to the Coral Sea. In the afternoon, experience a wildlife cruise on the river (if option selected). During the cruise, you may see a crocodile, while learning about the fragile ecosystem of this impressive serpent-like river system. On the return journey to Cairns, drive through Port Douglas, a picturesque beachside village with a laid-back vibe and loads of bars and cafes.

Great tour, better yet the tour guide (Ryan?). The trip it's long, so it means a lot of time seated, but the great atmosphere the guide created made it so much fun, versus what could have been. The tour itself does the work. Its interesting because of what the guide explains, and its very nice to watch the crocodiles and all the flora and fauna. Recommended !

We had an amazing day with Clinton! He was a fantastic guide, so knowledgable and engaging, we had lots of fun all day but he was also extremely responsible and thorough with all health & safety aspects throughout the trip. I was surprised to hear he has only been doing the job for a few months as he was so professional and a natural at the role. It’s a long day but it didn’t feel too long as we had plenty of stops and everyone seemed to really enjoy what we visited. We saw a lot in one day and we felt the value for money was excellent, we even got picked up and dropped off from our hotel door in Palm Cove. Id highly recommend this trip - although just be aware that we did not see the Cape Tribulation viewpoint that is shown on the activity page, we visited the beach itself. We didn’t mind because the weather was a little poor so we wouldn’t have had a picture perfect view like that. Thanks so much to Clinton and cairns adventure group 👍
