Get ready to explore Far North Queensland's iconic tropical region. There is no greater way to enjoy a day out at the stunning Cape Tribulation, than by joining us on our 1-Day Daintree Rainforest Tour from Cairns. We'll explore the beautiful ancient Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation Beach, and the iconic Port Douglas. Throughout the day, you will enjoy walks through picturesque and ancient rainforests, swims in several of Cape Tribulation’s charming creeks and the scenery of tropical beaches, search for saltwater crocodiles, and explore the tropical town of Port Douglas.

Your adventure will begin as we depart from Cairns en-route to Port Douglas.* Our first stop is Port Douglas, take the opportunity to enjoy a walk and swim at the well-known 4-mile beach (there are safety nets in the ocean!) Treat yourself to a refreshing morning tea break and fuel up for the rest of the day.

After that we'll head to Cape Tribulation. We'll get a great view at Alexandria Lookout., where the Daintree Rainforest meets the Great Barrier Reef. Don't forget your camera!

Then we'll go spotting crocodiles on a Daintree River Cruise. Your guide is a pro at spotting crocodiles in the wild, so they will help you spot these ancient reptiles! From spotting wild crocodiles, you will cross the famous Daintree River on the ferry. Then, we'll head to one of the boardwalks for a Daintree Rainforest walk! Throughout your rainforest walk, keep your eye out for the iconic Australian dinosaur-bird — the Cassowary. These birds are extremely rare; however, we may just be lucky enough to spot one on the day! On our way to Cape Tribulation Beach, or on the way back (depending on the tide), you will have more opportunities to observe these incredible creatures!

Grab a bite to eat and head out to the Cape Tribulation beach where the time is completely yours. Take a leisurely stroll, or enjoy the fresh cool waters. Post lunch, you will have the chance to enjoy a relaxing swim in the spectacular freshwater tropical streams. Don't worry - it's croc free!

Your day concludes with stops at a number of stunning lookouts en-route back to Cairns. Our Cape Tribulation Tour is certainly one not to miss as we explore the serenity of several iconic locations throughout Port Douglas and Cape Tribulation.

*Please note, this itinerary is subject to change depending on the tides. We've got more chance of spotting crocodiles at low tide, so we may move the itinerary to suit this. That means the Port Douglas stop may be moved to the afternoon.
