Tropical Horizons - Northern Delights/Port Douglas
Our Daintree tours travel north through sugarcane farmlands commencing with a scenic coastal drive along the Captain Cook Highway, one of the world's most beautiful coastal routes, aside the Coral Sea and flanked by rainforest covered mountains with glorious views of offshore islands.
Enjoy a short informative tour of historic Port Douglas. (our guest on tour 2PD - leave the Coach here for their own free time to experience the atmosphere of the attractions in Port Douglas) Our tours go onto the Daintree rainforest for morning tea before relaxing on a one-hour cruise on the mighty Daintree River. With the assistance of an experienced river guide you will see the special wildlife of the Daintree River, the domain of the estuarine crocodile and also living amongst the mangrove and rainforest lined river banks are tree snakes, pythons, a large variety of land and water birds and butterflies, so be sure to have your camera ready.
A visit to historic Daintree Village reveals the amazing wood crafts of the Daintree Timber Museum. (Daintree Village visit only available on this tour till very late in 2011). Enjoy a first-class lunch of wild Barramundi*, garden salads and a full tropical fruit tasting, accompanied with fresh juice, tea/coffee in the tropical surrounds of The Daintree Tea House.
Experience the beauty of the ancient rainforest on an easy guided walk of Mossman Gorge (available till approximately late 2011 only) or maybe instead enjoy a swim (subject to water volume). Try something different and experience this rainforest area with the people who have been living in it for tens of thousands of years - the Ku Ku Yalanji.
