Description:

Journey deep into the majestic, 135-million-year-old rainforest of the Mossman Gorge. This exquisite day trip combines an insightful cultural trek with a wildlife cruise down the Daintree River, and a delicious lunch surrounded by the canopy layers of a lush, pristine rainforest.

After a convenient hotel pickup, travel to the Mossman Gorge where you meet your interpretive guide, a member of the Kuku Yalanji—an indigenous tribe native to the rainforest—and take off on a “Dreamtime Walk” through the gorge's tropical ecosystem. Learn about bark shelters, ritual plant use, historic cave paintings, and listen to your guide recount dream-time legends, or aboriginal creation myths.

Snack on tea and damper (Australian bread), before exploring the quaint sugar town of Mossman. From here, you're escorted to the luxurious Silky Oaks Lodge to indulge in a delicious barramundi lunch against stunning riverside and forested views.

Post lunch, board a boat for a scenic cruise down the Daintree River—be sure to keep an eye out for the stream’s supply of colorful birds, tree snakes, and estuarine crocodiles. Then make a stop at Scomazzon Fruit and Cane Farm to enjoy a sampling of their fresh, tropical fruit, followed by a brief tour of historic Port Douglas before your return trip back to Cairns.
