A Daintree Tour with everything!

This Private full-day Daintree Tour has transfers included in a premium 4WD vehicle from either Cairns, the Northern Beaches, or Port Douglas. Other locations are on request, and depending on where you commence your journey will impact the itinerary. As this is a Private Charter, collection is available from any address, whether a Private Residence, Air BnB, or Hotel – we come to you. 

If you are beginning your journey from Cairns or the Northern Beaches, you will venture along the scenic Great Barrier Reef Drive, to Port Douglas. The drive winds along the edge of the Coral Sea and Great Barrier Reef past unspoiled tropical beaches with stunning views. We will stop at Rex Lookout for a photo opportunity where the Rainforest meets the Great Barrier Reef.

For guests that are being picked up from Port Douglas, we stop at Flagstaff Hill looking over Port Douglas to ensure you can capture memories together. We then journey to Mossman Gorge to enjoy the crystal-clear cascades over large granite boulders, surrounded by beautiful rainforest. Then explore the famous Daintree River on an eco-friendly Daintree River Crocodile Cruise, boasting a vast range of wildlife, Birds and the iconic Estuarine “Salty” Crocodiles. Solar Whisper is the only zero-emission boat in the Daintree region, and their experienced Coxswain provides a unique perspective of the River, Rainforest and Mangroves whilst searching for the elusive apex predator. The boat is fitted with a "CROC CAM", so everyone gets the best opportunity to experience interactions no matter where you are sitting. Cross the Daintree River on the Ferry and feel the main-land drift away as you become immersed in the World's Oldest Rainforest…

Travel to Alexandra Lookout, providing picture-perfect views of where you will be in awe of the Daintree Rainforest and sweeping views over the Great Barrier Reef. The Marrdja Boardwalk is a walk in the rainforest that you will never forget. This trail is wheelchair accessible, and whilst it is only 1.2km long - it will take you 350 million years back in time. Your Naturalist Guide will teach you about the history of this land, and living specimens of each significant stage of plant evolution over time. The lush vegetation and ever-changing scenery are sure to mesmerized as you stroll along this incredible route. You’ll come across a viewing platform that looks out over Noah Creek, providing you with stunning views... just be sure to keep your eyes peeled for crocodiles lurking in the waters below! Pitstop in to the Daintree Ice Cream Company, which is a family-friendly destination that features unique Ice cream made from exotic fruits grown in their very own Orchard. There is a beautiful Self-Guided Orchard Walk for those interested in fruit trees of the Tropics. This place serves amazing Ice Cream delights and is an absolute must-see for anyone visiting the Daintree Rainforest! Next stop, Cape Tribulation Beach is one of the most beautiful parts of Tropical Far North Queensland, and its beauty comes from its untouched wilderness. Cape Tribulation is a truly unique, completely off-grid community where the Rainforest is so dense, it is one of the few places that weren't affected by the Ice Age!

To finish the day, we’ll travel back to along the Great Barrier Reef drive to Port Douglas, Northern Beaches and Cairns, while keeping an eye out for Cassowaries. This is the most immersive Private 1 Day Daintree Tour, so come join us today!
