What to expect

Your guide picks you up at 7:30am and drives you to the Daintree River ferry. After crossing, you'll visit Alexandra Lookout for photography, then head to Cape Tribulation Beach. The day's centrepiece is two hours ziplining through the canopy with trained guides—you'll be harnessed, helmeted, and moving between platforms high in the trees. Lunch follows at a rainforest retreat. Afterwards, a one-hour riverboat cruise searches for saltwater crocodiles and other wildlife in the mangroves. The pace is steady rather than rushed, mixing adrenaline with wildlife spotting and nature viewing. Finish with optional ice cream before returning to Port Douglas.
