CTAE1 - Cairns - Port Douglas - Cape Tribulation Aboriginal Experience.
Duration: Day Tour

Departing your Cairns accommodation at 7am, (Northern Beaches 7.30) we travel by luxury GXL Landcruiser 4wd along the scenic coastal drive to Port Douglas, where we stop to explore the historic waterfront and pick up from accommodation at 8.30. Travelling via Mossman, we stop at the delightful Wonga Beach for morning tea before continuing on to the Daintree River and our ferry crossing of this wide expanse.

As we enter the Daintree, we ascend the Alexander Range by narrow roads shrouded by world heritage rainforest to panoramic sea vistas from Alexandra Lookout. Our indigenous guides will lead you on a journey of discovery as you hear the dreamtime stories, learn the bush medicines and foods and experience the rainforest from an aboriginal perspective. We descend the range to the Cooper Creek and take to the water to explore this pristine wilderness with a one hour cruise. Crocodiles and a range of other jungle wildlife are regularly sighted as we make up way up the estuarine creek system.

Rejoining the vehicle, we continue to Cape Tribulation and explore this beautiful headland and beach that has become name synonymous with the counter-culture. We continue a couple of km north to our delightful lunch venue at a Beachfront cafe.

Retracing our tracks, we stop to explore the rainforest in more depth at the Marrdja Boardwalk with your indigenous guide providing in-depth interpretation. Recrossing the Daintree River by ferry, we make our way to Mossman Gorge to walk, swim and explore. After a detour to Port Douglas if required for dropping off passengers, we return along the scenic coastal road and stop to soak in the panorama in the late afternoon. We arrive back at your accommodation in Cairns around 6.15 after an excellent day of experiencing world heritage rainforest from an aboriginal perspective.
