Private Day Walks

Daintree Morning Walk Tour

Your day begins with a journey into the heart of the Daintree Rainforest. Accompanied by your guide, wander through towering fan palms and ancient ferns while learning about the delicate ecosystem that makes this region the oldest living rainforest on Earth. Spot cassowaries, tropical birds, and unique rainforest species as you explore the shaded trails and peaceful creeks.

Dubuji & Mardja Boardwalks

After a short scenic drive, experience two of the Daintree’s most famous interpretive walks.
At Dubuji Boardwalk, enjoy a gentle stroll through lowland rainforest and mangrove systems, discovering how these environments intertwine. Then continue to the Mardja Boardwalk, where elevated paths weave through dense forest and tidal creeks, revealing the intricate balance between land and sea. Your guide will share insights into the area’s flora, fauna, and Kuku Yalanji cultural connections.

Mt. Sorrow Walk

For those seeking adventure, the Mt. Sorrow track offers a challenging rainforest ascent with incredible rewards. Trek through steep, shaded terrain beneath giant fig trees and vines before reaching the summit lookout — where sweeping views of the Coral Sea and Daintree coastline stretch below. Take time to rest, refresh, and appreciate the raw beauty that makes this region so special.
