Daintree Waterfall Walk, Swim and Lunch Tour

This guided Daintree tour combines a scenic rainforest drive, a proper walk into the forest, a swim beneath a secluded waterfall, and a sit-down lunch. It is a more active option than a standard sightseeing trip, with exclusive access to a private waterfall walk in the World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest. You also get a tropical fruit tasting and lunch at a rainforest restaurant, so the day mixes outdoor time with a few comfortable extras. At AUD225, it sits more in the premium day-tour bracket than the budget end.

The day starts with a scenic drive into the Daintree Rainforest. Before the walk, the tour stops for lunch at a rainforest restaurant, where you can choose from options including steak, barramundi, chicken, kangaroo and vegetarian dishes, with other dietary needs catered for if entered at checkout. There is also a tropical fruit tasting. Later, you head deeper into the rainforest on foot, passing forest glades, creekside sections, valleys and mountain scenery before reaching a pristine waterfall for a swim. The walk requires a good level of fitness and balance, so expect a moderately active day rather than an easy stroll.
