Next we head along the Captain Cook Hwy through the township of Mossman and past the cane fields up to the mighty Daintree River. Here we have morning tea including the great Aussie Lamington and a cruise along the river enjoying the riverine environment, all the while keeping an eye out for the area’s wildlife. “We may even see a snake laying on a branch of a tree, a green tree frog and of course the Estuarine Crocodile”.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Cape Tribulation, Cape Tribulation, Daintree Region, Queensland
After the cruise it is off towards Cape Tribulation, the area famous for the saying where the “Rainforest meets the Reef”. Time is allowed for a walk along the beach or walk to the lookout, an area steeped in history which will all be explained, by your knowledgeable tour guide.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Daintree, Daintree, Daintree Region, Queensland
After leaving Cape Tribulation we then travel to our very own Daintree Hideaway, private lunch site, surrounded by rainforest and a rainforest stream, hearing the natural sounds of the forest, while eating a sumptuous lunch and chatting with your new friends for the day. Here you can walk along a rainforest track to truly get an insight into the world’s oldest continual living rainforest. This is a fascinating area full of history and amazing plants and animals including one of the largest birds in the world, the Cassowary.
After lunch it is then off to the famous Daintree Ice-cream Company where you can purchase a tropical fruit ice-cream on our way to the stunning Cassowary Falls. Here we will jump into our soft top Land Rover for a 4wd ride along the tracks and through the creeks of “River home” cattle property towards the falls. The waterfall has featured in the past in T.V. shows, so as you can imagine, it is a very special location. Go for a swim, feed the fish and turtles, or just sit back and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. What a memorable way to end the day before heading back home to Port Douglas.
