Cairns & Port Douglas
These day tours cover the Daintree, the oldest surviving rainforest on earth, and most push on to Cape Tribulation, where forest runs straight into reef. It’s a long day; the cape sits over two hours north of Cairns, and a cable ferry is the only way across the river. Keep watch for cassowaries near the road; they have right of way in every sense.
Discover the natural wonder of Queensland with this full-day Cairns tour featuring Mossman Gorge, Daintree Rainforest, and Cape Tribulation, led by expert guides.
