Mossman Gorge Adventure Day

This is a full-day rainforest tour for travellers who want more than a quick look at Mossman Gorge. The day starts with a river drift experience on the Mossman River, where you trek and float through clear streams and lush rainforest surroundings. After lunch, the tour continues at Mossman Gorge with a traditional Kuku Yalanji smoking ceremony, rainforest body paint and an easy interpretive walk through Daintree National Park. Transfers from Port Douglas are included.

You’ll head out from Port Douglas and begin at a private location on the Mossman River. The first part of the day is active, with time spent walking through the rainforest, swimming and drifting through moving water. You’ll need moderate fitness, basic freestyle swimming ability and enough mobility to handle uneven ground, water crossings and climbing out of the river via root steps roughly equivalent to a 1.5 metre ladder. After lunch, the pace slows down at Mossman Gorge, where you’ll take part in a traditional Kuku Yalanji smoking ceremony and have traditional rainforest body paint applied before an interpretive walk through the national park.
