In the morning, a driver/guide will collect you from your hotel to start your journey north along the scenic coastal drive of the Captain Cook Highway. The first stop is Mossman Gorge Centre, where you'll enjoy morning tea before boarding the shuttle bus into Mossman Gorge itself. Discover pristine waters and ancient rainforests on a driver-guided walk through Mossman Gorge. The next stop is the Daintree River Cruise Centre. Keep an eye out for the predatory Saltwater Crocodile and other abundant wildlife on a 1-hour river cruise. The tour visits the ancient rainforest of Noah Valley for a Tropical lunch. This area is renowned for the existence of primitive flowering plants, including the Idiospermum, which links back to the most ancient lineages of plants found in the world today. After lunch, you'll visit Cape Tribulation beach, named by Captain James Cook on his voyage of discovery in 1770. After a lovely stroll, it's then time to turn south to travel back. Along the way, the tour will stop at Daintree Ice Cream Company to taste a refreshing fruit ice cream made from exotic fruits grown on an on-site fruit orchard. Gluten and dairy-free options are available. The last stop of the day is the Alexandra Lookout. It's a great photo opportunity of views across the rainforest canopy out to the Daintree River mouth and the Coral Sea. Relax and enjoy the journey back to your hotel after a wonderful day.
