Itinerary

Quick question: Where did Sir David Attenborough describe as “the most extraordinary place on earth”. If you said Queensland’s Daintree Rainforest give yourself a pat on the back. Discover exactly why the legendary biologist describes this lush vegetation as “quite unlike any other rainforest in the world” on this short but epic adventure. You’ll explore the rainforest with the help of a passionate local guide – expect to see crocodiles, birds and other amazing local wildlife on a trip tailor-made for nature fans.

No hidden cost on our tours. Look closely at the value for money with our amazing inclusions below!

After a quick welcome meeting at 10am at the starting hotel in Cairns, it’s go, go gondola, as we take an incredible gondola ride over ancient rainforest, the Barron River, and the surrounding mountains on our way to picturesque Kuranda with its colourful markets. Then, it’s a trip north to the chilled out village of Port Douglas, where you can choose to join the group for dinner, drinks and the stunning sunset.

We’ll take a walk through the ancient rainforest and meet the local family who hosted David Attenborough’s documentary crew whilst keeping our eyes peeled for ancient cassowary, birds and other wildlife.

In the afternoon we cruise the Daintree River (Julaymba) on the eco-friendly Solar Whisper, a quiet solar-powered boat, for an immersive wildlife experience. Spot crocodiles, birds, frogs, snakes, and more with the help of your expert guide and the unique "CROC CAM”.
