1 Day Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation and Bloomfield Track Tour

Note

While the Daintree Ferry is undergoing repairs following recent severe weather event, we are pleased to offer an alternate full-day touring experience showcasing some of the very best of the Daintree.

Departing from Cairns, the day begins with a visit to Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas, where you’ll enjoy around 1.5 hours to explore the sanctuary at your own pace. Wander through immersive wildlife environments, encounter iconic Australian animals, and enjoy the unique atmosphere of this award winning park. Guests also have the option to hand-feed kangaroos, or purchase a souvenir photo with a koala.

We then continue north for a relaxing 1-hour Daintree River cruise with Daintree River Cruise Centre, offering the chance to take in the beauty of this remarkable river system while keeping watch for crocodiles, birdlife, and other native wildlife.

After the cruise, enjoy lunch at the scenic Daintree Beach Resort at Wonga Beach. With direct beach access, guests can take in beautiful coastal views stretching toward the Daintree River mouth and Snapper Island, making this a memorable stop to relax and soak up the surroundings.

The afternoon finishes with approximately 2 hours at Mossman Gorge Daintree National Park, where you’ll enjoy a guided walk through this spectacular rainforest setting, followed by time to swim in the cool, clear waters of the gorge.

Normal ferry services are not expected to resume in early April 2026. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
