WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Visting a national park.
The Daintree Rainforest is one of the most special on the planet so it is important that it is protected. Only walk on designated tracks or boardwalks, drive slowly and watch for wildlife, take home rubbish including food scraps, watch out for stinging plants and check yourself for ticks and leeches if you have been walking through the forest.
What to Bring
It is highly recommended visitors wear closed in, secure footwear when visiting the Daintree as well as bring a good supply of water, sunscreen, a change of clothes, any vital medications, camera and phone. There is not a lot of phone reception, so where possible it is recommended to travel with someone.

- Departure: Hotel pickup and drop-off included
- Departure Time: 7:30 AM
- Includes: Welcome ceremony and Mossman Gorge, Daintree River cruise (if option selected), lunch, live commentary, local guide, air-conditioned vehicle, guided rainforest walk
Located right in the heart of tropical North Queensland sits a little piece of heaven waiting for adventurers to explore: the Cape Tribulation, Mossman Gorge, and Daintree .
Australia is known for having breathtaking landscapes, but I have to say this was one of the most impressive regions for me – not only because of the nature, but the history and culture surrounding it.
You’ll get to see it all, with the Cape Tribulation, Mossman Gorge, and Daintree Rainforest Day Trip tour, taking you through the more popular areas to the elusive hidden gems that most don’t get to see.
If it’s your first day in the region, I highly recommend taking this all-day tour that just seems to make the whole experience streamlined and convenient.
Our tour started out with our guide picking us up right from our hotel in a spacious vehicle with climate control, making it nice and comfortable for us. Our guide and driver was very informative and friendly, offering interesting commentary as we drove out to the very center of the wilderness.
Our first stop for the day was the Mossman Gorge, offering all the magic of everything you’d expect from a lush rainforest filled with exotic wildlife and plants.
While I’m definitely a nature person, the highlight for me here was learning about the Kuku Yalanji and experiencing the Welcome to Country and Smoke ceremony in this important place.
Expand To See More See Less
We then we hiked up the hills to a beautiful gorge where we were able to take. rewarding dip in the clear, green waters!
After that, we checked out the Daintree River Wildlife and Crocodile Cruise on the river, which was much less scary and much more beautiful than it might sound!
We had a short break then headed to the Daintree Village Hotel for a relaxing, filling lunch with fresh produce to fuel up before having dessert at a local ice cream company made from their own orchards!
Finally, we relaxed and explored Thronton Beach, offering a unique blend of stunning ocean views and thick rainforest.

If you’re one of those adrenaline junkies like me, you’ll find that your run-of-the-mill tours into the wilderness often aren’t exciting enough.
They take you on a very sterile tour with cookie-cutter commentary that you could realistically find from a simple Google search. For those who want more in both adventure and knowledge, check out the Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation and Bloomfield Track Tour !
I really feel that if you’re heading into such a culturally important, delicate area filled with wildlife, it needs to be in small group settings, only.
This way, you do not disturb the environment, and you get adequate attention from your guide if you have any questions. They picked us right up from our hotel in a vehicle perfect for off-roading, complete with 4-wheel drive!
After our early morning pickup, we headed straight to Mount Alexandra Lookout in the Alexandra Mountain Range, which was simply breathtaking!
We got to see completely panoramic views of World Heritage, Wet Tropics, and the rainforest meeting with the bright blue Coral Sea!
After that, we headed down to the Daintree River for a relaxing cruise complete with morning tea as we learned about the crocodiles, mangroves, and other wildlife!
Then we took the 4WD to the Bloomfield Track, racing over the bumpy landscape, arriving at a cool rainforest stream for a dip at Emmagen Creek’s clear waters!
We dried off with a little stroll along the beach and boardwalk at Cape Tribulation, enjoying a tasty lunch and ice cream here! It was a fantastic day perfectly balancing relaxation and good food with gorgeous scenery and lots of excitement!

- Duration: 12 hours
- Departure Time: 6:45 AM
- Includes: Travel in custom-built vehicle, professional driver guide, live commentary, guided walk in Mossman Gorge, river cruise, tropical lunch
I’ve spent plenty of time hiking and exploring rainforests around the world, but few are as captivating as the ancient landscape of Daintree and Cape Tribulation!
If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a little bit and breathe some fresh air into your lungs, look no further than this next tour!
The Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation Day Tour from Cairns takes you to the depths of the world’s oldest rainforest, guided nature walks, an authentic Aussie lunch, and much more!
Starting off with our guide picking us up first thing in the morning right from our hotel, we took advantage of the daylight as much as possible.
Our vehicle was very spacious, with comfortable seats, air-conditioning, and big windows so we can enjoy the picturesque landscapes as we cruised on.
Throughout the right, our guide offered interesting narration about the history, culture, geology, and much more as we passed different areas.
Our first stop was the Mossman Gorge, where we learned about the local Kuku Yalanji people, their culture, as well as the ancient rainforest, itself, on a guided walk.
Following this up, we relaxed and enjoyed a serene cruise down the clear green river, while learning about their native crocodiles and other wildlife! After, we’d worked up quite the appetite, and enjoyed a mouthwatering BBQ lunch right in the middle of the ancient rainforest!
After refueling, we headed to Cape Tribulation Beach, where we walked on the soft sands while learning about Captain Cook’s time here.
After that, we had time to soak up all the knowledge we’ve gained at the Mount Alexandra Lookout while taking photos and videos. Last but not least, we ended with a sweet treat of a tasting cup with 4 local ice cream flavors made from their local ingredients.
4. Cape Tribulation, Mossman Gorge and Daintree Rainforest Day Tour
- Duration: 11 hours
- Includes: National Park fees, lunch, coffee and/or tea, driver/guide, transport by air-conditioned vehicle, cruise on Daintree River
Mixing luxury with nature, the Cape Tribulation, Mossman Gorge and Daintree Rainforest Day Tour lets you explore the UNESCO-listed wilderness found in the northern part of the country.
If you’re in Cairns and would like a day away from the city, there’s no better way to spend it than on this beautiful, educational tour with a professional guide. With small groups limited to just 14 people, you can expect personalized attention with a friendly bunch of people to accompany you.
Just like with the other tours I’ve covered in this guide, we started our tour off early in the morning with our guide picking us up from our hotel in Cairns.
We didn’t have to worry about driving ourselves anywhere – rather, we were able to sit back and relax while enjoying the beautiful scenery and educational commentary by our guide. We even made a stop at Rex Lookout for amazing views and excellent photo ops!
Our first official stop was at the charming little seaside village of Port Douglas for a quick tour and great coffee before going to Mossman Gorge for a little morning tea at the Gorge Centre.
Mossman Gorge was gorgeous, but the fresh scones with local jams and the Naturalist guide really made it so much more special and enriching!
We then made a welcome break at the Daintree Teahouse Restaurant, which is the oldest one in the area with high standards for their tasty dishes!
After that, we headed down to the river for a cruise with our small group, while our expert guide pointed out crocodiles and other local flora and fauna!
I had a ton of fun at Thornton Beach, stopping at Marrdja for a guided walk as they pointed out ultra-rare plants and even some local critters to us! It was a day that required a lot of energy, but it was so exciting that the hours just flew by!
5. Cape Tribulation & Daintree Wilderness (TCT)
- Includes: Morning tea, lunch, air-conditioned vehicle, Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas, Daintree River Cruise
If you’re a nature lover and have found yourself in Australia, I’m willing to bet you want to see some koalas and kangaroos!
If so, you should put the Cape Tribulation & Daintree Wilderness (TCT) tour at the top of your list! Not only does it involve cute critters, but you’ll get to get away from the city and head into a remote paradise complete with ancient rainforests and pristine beaches.
Setting off from Cairns, you’ll be picked right up at your hotel from your guide, so there’s no need to book Ubers or anything.
The air-conditioned vehicle is very spacious and comfortable, winding through lush coastal landscapes as your guide regales you with interesting anecdotes and historical accounts.
Arriving first at Mossman Gorge, you’ll step into a world brimming with natural splendor, with towering trees and crystal-clear streams.
We learned about the area’s rich Indigenous heritage, along with the diverse ecosystem complete with hidden waterfalls, tranquil pools, and plenty of wildlife and exotic plants.
Our visit to Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas was so educational and interesting, where we even got to hand-feed kangaroos and wallabies! Seeing the endangered Cassowary and Lumholtz’s Tree Kangaroo was also something special, as we likely won’t get the chance to see them again.
We then got back into nature, crossing the Daintree River on a cable-driven ferry, which was a beautiful experience taking in the magnificent landscapes.
Make sure to get your cameras ready, because once you arrive to the Mount Alexandra Lookout, you’ll definitely want to have photo evidence! Overall, it was an amazing time that gave me a whole new perspective on this region.

Monteverde Cloud Forest, Costa Rica
The Monteverde Cloud Forest is an impressive stretch of nature. It’s a top option for nature lovers who live in the Western Hemisphere, as it’s a relatively short journey from the United States and Canada. The cloud forest is among the most beautiful places in the country, and it’s a must-visit location if you love rainforests.
You’ll find over 100 species of mammals, 400 bird species, and thousands of plants and insects. Walking the rainforest trails will expose you to nature you didn’t know existed. You could spot howler monkeys , jaguars, and the quetzal if you’re fortunate.
It’s critical to note that Monteverde Cloud Forest is worthy of its name. It’s an area that sits in perpetual fog and clouds that linger among the upper canopy of trees. The low clouds create the impression that the sky is falling.
The water in this forest takes much longer to evaporate, creating the conditions for diverse life forms to exist and thrive. You won’t forget your trip to the Monteverde Cloud Forest if you love nature and learning.
Khao Sok National Park, Thailand
Thailand is an unforgettable vacation destination for its cuisine, kind people, and beautiful beaches. An overlooked part of this nation is the Khao Sok National Park. It’s the rainiest spot in the country, estimated to be 160 million years old.
You’ll find many adventurous things to do that will help you get closer to nature when you visit Khao Sok National Park. Jeep safaris will take you into the park’s depths if your legs are tired, or you can kayak through the rainforest. You’ll also find plenty of rainforest trails if you bring your hiking shoes.
Many people venture to the rainforest to find the Rafflesia kerrii , one of Earth’s largest (and smelliest) flowers. Your hikes will take you through beautiful wooded terrain, lush areas, and plenty of waterfalls. Look for leaches if you find yourself in the national park after a rainfall.
Daintree Rain Forest, Australia
Australia is a stunning continent, and one of the most underrated parts is the Daintree Rain Forest. The rainforest includes gorges, waterfalls, densely wooded areas, and deserts. It’s a place where you can find and enjoy all types of nature.
You can also find white sand beaches, pristine ocean water, and colorful reefs offshore. Add the kokoda trail to the mix to create unforgettable experiences in The Land Down Under.
It’s an incredible location with something for each type of nature lover. Ninety percent of Australia’s bat and butterfly populations call the Daintree Rain Forest home. If you find yourself in Australia and love rainforest trails, you’ll want to arrange a trip to Daintree.
Daintree is one of the most biodiverse places in the world. It’s a two-hour drive from Cairns, and you can arrange a day tour with four-wheel drive SUVs to see the most beautiful parts. Explore the villages and towns in the rainforest to immerse yourself and get the most from your vacation.

The rainforest trails in Rwanda are bucket list items for millions of nature lovers worldwide. It’s a trip you should take advantage of, and it provides ample opportunity to see wildlife and incredible vistas. Encounters with gorillas aren’t guaranteed, but it’s worth trying your luck to see a once-in-a-lifetime animal.
You’ll also encounter several other primates while walking or riding through Volcanoes National Park. The golden monkey is native to the region, as are elephants, buffalo, and hyenas.
You’ll need to pay for a permit to experience the rainforest trails, as the Rwandan government is taking steps to protect the mountain gorillas. Only eight permits are sold daily, costing $1,400 in Rwanda.
Bolivian Amazon Jungle, Bolivia
The Amazon Jungle has an impressive reputation for beauty and wildlife, and the Bolivian region of the Amazon lives up to the name. It’s a unique opportunity to see beautiful birds and howler monkeys and cruise down the Tuichi River in a boat.
You can also enjoy the rainforest trails at night with help from a guide and torch. It’s the best way to learn about the flora and fauna of the region, with your guide telling you about herbal medicines found in the rainforest.
The wildlife in this rainforest is unequaled anywhere in the world. If you’re a nature lover looking for an unforgettable experience, Bolivia’s Amazon Jungle regions beckon.
Consider taking a bus from La Paz to get to the Amazon. It’s the cheapest option and will allow you to see the diverse landscapes this South American nation is famous for.
