What to expect
Start the day with a beautiful experience of true eco-tourism. Jump aboard a zero-emission boat and start the day with a Daintree Rainforest River cruise. This boat can glide quietly up to crocodiles and other wildlife without scaring them or hurting their habitat. The boat is fitted with the unique “Croc Cam” to help show well-camouflaged crocodiles and wildlife.
At Mossman Gorge, walk on a private rainforest track, with a traditional ‘smoking’ ceremony to cleanse and ward off bad spirits. Your guide will lead you on a meandering stroll through lush rainforest, observing traditional huts or humpies along the way. Your experienced indigenous guide will tell you about traditional plant use, bush food sources, providing an enchanting narrative of the rainforest and their special relationship with this unique tropical environment. Discover traditions like making bush soaps and ochre painting. At the end of the tour, enjoy traditional bush tea and damper – the perfect treat after your journey.
Enjoy some free time to swim in the crystal-clear waters of Mossman Gorge. Surrounded by large granite boulders, these waters are known to be healing to your body, mind and soul.
