Daintree UTV Adventure and Cassowary Falls Swim

1 to 4 hours

Overview

This small-group Daintree tour mixes off-road fun with time in the rainforest and a swim at Cassowary Falls. You’ll explore a private property in the Daintree Valley by UTV, with a guide sharing local rainforest knowledge along the way. The big draw is access to Cassowary Falls, where you can swim in a natural pool that’s described as one of the few safe swimming spots in the Daintree, with no crocodiles here. Transfers to and from Daintree Village are included, which makes the logistics easier if you’re staying nearby.

Why backpackers love it

This suits travellers who want more than a basic sightseeing trip and don’t mind paying extra for a more hands-on outing. The small-group setup and included transfers keep things simple, while the mix of off-road driving, rainforest commentary and a proper waterfall swim makes it feel like good value if you’re short on time. It’s also a solid option if you want a Daintree experience with some action, rather than just looking at the scenery from a coach.

What to expect

The tour takes place on private land in tropical North Queensland and runs as a small-group experience. You’ll head out on a guided UTV ride through the rainforest, crossing creeks and rivers and stopping for views along the way. There’s also an Army Truck rainforest ride included. During the trip, your guide shares information about the ancient Daintree environment. The main stop is Cassowary Falls, where you’ll have access to swim, cool off and spend time in the natural setting, with the chance to feed fish and turtles. Expect to get wet, both on the ride and at the falls.
