What to expect

Your guide meets you for the drive to Daintree, where morning tea precedes the river cruise. You'll scan the water for crocodiles whilst learning about the ecosystem's complexity. After lunch, the journey continues into Mossman Gorge's World Heritage rainforest. Expect a layered walk through dense canopy, vine tangles, and crystal pools.

Good to know

Wear sturdy shoes, hat and sunscreen. The rainforest can be humid and wet underfoot. Collapsible wheelchairs and walkers are accommodated, but access is limited on forest tracks. Travel time makes up much of the nine-and-a-half hours. Infants travel free; small children can use prams on some sections.
