Overview

This full-day small-group tour is a straightforward way to see the key Daintree highlights from Port Douglas without sorting out transport yourself. It covers Mossman Gorge, the Daintree River, Cape Tribulation and Alexandra Lookout, with the bonus of access to a private World Heritage-listed rainforest site at Noah Valley. National park fees, the Daintree River ferry crossing and a wildlife cruise are included, so the day is set up to keep things simple once you are on board.

It is a better fit for travellers who want a guided nature-focused day rather than an independent hike or a cheap shuttle-style option. The tour is not suitable for people with mobility issues because of uneven ground on the rainforest walk.

Free cancellation

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Why backpackers love it

If you are based in Port Douglas and want to see a lot of the Daintree in one day, this takes the planning hassle out of it. The small-group format means it is less of a big coach day, and having fees, ferry access and the river cruise bundled in makes the cost clearer upfront.

It also suits short stays, since you can cover several major stops in a single day without needing a car. That said, at this price it sits more in the premium day-tour category than the budget end, so it makes most sense if you want a guided experience and are happy to pay for convenience and inclusions.

What to expect

You will travel from Port Douglas in a small group with commentary from the driver-guide throughout the day. The itinerary is designed to keep time in the vehicle down and focus on stops in the rainforest and along the coast.

Typical highlights include time at Mossman Gorge, views from Alexandra Lookout, a visit to Cape Tribulation and a Daintree River wildlife cruise. The tour also includes entry to Noah Valley, a private World Heritage-listed rainforest retreat that is not offered by every operator. National park fees and the Daintree River ferry crossing are covered, and filtered water, umbrellas and insect repellent are provided on board.

Expect a full day out with some walking on uneven terrain, so closed shoes and a reasonable level of fitness will help.
