About this tour
Half-day adventure from Port Douglas combining two of Far North Queensland's natural highlights. You'll cruise the Daintree River spotting crocs, birds and native wildlife whilst sipping a drink, then head to Mossman Gorge for a boardwalk walk through ancient rainforest with a swim option in the cool stream. The four-and-a-half-hour trip suits those after an afternoon outing without the early start, with pickup and drop-off from your accommodation included.

What to expect
You'll be picked up from your Port Douglas digs and driven towards the Daintree River, where a guide shares regional history along the way. The river cruise lasts roughly an hour—keep your eyes peeled for saltwater crocs, snakes, birds and frogs while you settle in with your chosen beverage. Afterwards, the drive to Mossman Gorge takes about 30 minutes. A guided walk along the boardwalk lets you move through rainforest canopy at a relaxed pace. Weather permitting, you'll have time for a swim in the emerald stream before heading back.
Good to know
Bring swimmers and a towel if you plan to swim, though it's optional. Wear comfortable walking shoes and pack a hat and sunscreen. The boardwalk is accessible for most fitness levels. Service animals are welcome. Pick-up and all park entry fees are included.
