Take an easy walk across boardwalks, tracks and bridges that protect the delicate ecosystem, which adorns spectacular waterfalls and mountain ranges. Your guide will explain the rich flora, fauna and diverse ecosystem of this amazing rainforest.Continuing north, you will cross the Daintree River by cable ferry as you journey deep into the World Heritage Listed Daintree National Park and Cape Tribulation.

Have breakfast and the morning to enjoy the Daintree at your leisure. There’s an opportunity to go Jungle Surfing, Kayaking or Horse riding before venturing to Cape Tribulation Beach. Enjoy lunch before a one hour cruise on the mighty Daintree River, where you will have the opportunity to spot wildlife and crocodiles.

On our return journey home, you will visit with local Aboriginal Artist “Binna” from Janbal Gallery.
