What to expect
Your guide collects you from your Cairns hotel early morning and drives you inland to the Daintree region. The day kicks off with a calm river cruise where you'll scan the water and banks for saltwater crocodiles and native birds. You'll then enter the rainforest on foot, pausing for tea and light snacks among the towering trees. After hiking, head to Cape Tribulation Beach to see where the rainforest meets the sand and reef. Lunch is a proper meal with your choice of alcohol or soft drinks. The final stop is a working ice-cream parlor where you can taste locally made flavors before returning to town by late afternoon.
