Port Douglas and Wildlife Habitat

Begin your day with a 7.30 pickup from your accommodation. You will travel in air-conditioned comfort as you enjoy the stunning scenic views of the famous Great Barrier Reef Drive.

Once in Port Douglas, your first stop of the day is at Wildlife Habitat, one of Australia’s leading wildlife experiences. You will be taken on a tour by a knowledgeable guide through one of three ecosystems; the wetlands, the rainforest or the grasslands. Wandering the elevated boardwalks, you will have the opportunity to observe the Australian native birdlife as they fly freely through the area. You will also get to witness some of Australia’s rarest inhabitants such as the Lumholtz’s Tree Kangaroo and Southern Cassowary, and enjoy the opportunity to feed kangaroos. For an extra cost, you can even choose to have your photo taken with a baby crocodile, python or koala. Morning tea will be served before continuing on to your next destination.

Daintree Rainforest Tour

After departing from Port Douglas, your tour will stop at the Alexandra Lookout, for magnificent views over the Daintree River and Coral Sea, an area that was the first in the world to have two World Heritage sites meet.  Stop for a delicious tropical lunch in a picturesque rainforest setting.

Arriving at Cape Tribulation, you are free to take a stroll along the famous beach, or wander the boardwalks to get spectacular views of this World Heritage site. Join a guided rainforest tour to get an in-depth understanding of the Daintree Rainforests eco-system, whilst experiencing fantastic photo opportunities.

The Daintree River Cruise

A cable-driven ferry delivers you across the untamed Daintree River, where you will embark on a Daintree River Wildlife Cruise. Keep your camera ready, as this river teems with wildlife. Your experienced guide will help you to spot elusive crocodiles as they watch you from the river banks. Keep an eye on the trees for the well-hidden tree snakes. Waterbirds love to hide in the mangroves and fresh water turtles are often spotted in the river. Enjoy some afternoon refreshments before departing back to Port Douglas, and arriving in Cairns at approximately 7.30pm.
