Your naturalist guide will meet you at your accommodation and after introductions all around we drive north along the scenic route to Mossman. Lush farmland contrasts with seascape as we approach the majestic Daintree River.
Time for a short morning tea break then its all aboard for an informative river cruise. Relax and enjoy the splendor only the Daintree can offer as you learn of Estuarine Crocodiles, mangrove forests and wildlife, this is nature at its best!
Ascend the Alexandra range, pause for a panoramic view of the World Heritage Tropical Rainforest merging with the Coral Sea. A delicious BBQ with home made salads, tropical fruit and Australian wine is prepared whilst you take the opportunity to swim in a tranquil freshwater stream. Fish and Turtles in the creek, butterflies and exotic birds in the trees and often Goannas on the forest floor, all at our luncheon site.
There is no set timetable or schedule as such, so throw away your watch and enjoy elevated walks through the Cape Tribulation National Park with experienced guides who allow ample time for questions and photographs. Go beyond Cape Tribulation along the 4WD only "Bloomfield Track" and swim in the Coral Sea at Cape Tribulation (seasonal) where the "Rainforest meets the Reef".
There will be a short afternoon refreshment stop where you can pat a Kangaroo, scratch a Cockatoo, have a cold beer or sip a cup of the local tea. Begin the homeward journey somewhat wiser for your "Rainforest Experience". |
