Join us for a day trip to Cape Tribulation from Cairns, where the world’s oldest continually surviving tropical rainforests meets the Great Barrier Reef
Join us for a day trip to Cape Tribulation, where the world’s oldest continually surviving tropical rainforests meets the world’s greatest living tropical reef, the Great Barrier Reef. This is the only place on the planet where two natural World Heritage listed sites exist side by side. Such is the natural beauty and precious value of this, We give you ample time to explore this truly stunning piece of paradise on this full day tour
We begin the adventure with a scenic coastal drive from Cairns to Port Douglas. This is the far north’s very own version of the Great Ocean Road, providing panoramic views over the sparkling Coral Sea!
Heading north our first stop is at Mossman Gorge, which is in the southern sectorof the world famous Daintree National Park. This gorge has been carved out by the cold mountain waters of Mossman River. It's a magical place and you'll particpate in a "Welcome to Country" with the traditional owners.
Next we head on to the Daintree River where we’ll cross on the Daintree River Cable ferry, while learning about the fragile ecosystem of this impressive river system
From crossing the mighty Daintree River we continue to Cape Tribulation where there is ample time to stop and enjoy lunch. There will be a chance to explore the world famous Cape Tribulation beach, where the rainforest really does meet the reef!
Next it’s time to explore this ancient rainforest environment on a guided tour of the Marrdja Botanical Boardwalk. Our highly trained guides will give expert rainforest interpretation of this hugely diverse ecosystem. Stop at the Daintree Ice Cream Company to sample some of their home made tropical ice cream from fruits grown on site such as dragonfruit, sapote and macadamia. (Own cost)
A stop at Alexandra Range Lookout (Walu Wugirriga) provides a great photo opportunity of views over the Daintree River, its rainforest delta and out to the Coral Sea.
Time now to sit back for the return journey to Cairns, including a quick drive through Port Douglas, a picturesque, laid back, beachside village with loads of bars and cafes.

Good tour enjoy it very much
The Cape Tribulation Day Tour was great, very enjoyable. The only reason that I gave 4 stars and not 5 stars was that fact that the lunch was quite poor, I would have preferred, a sandwich to the hamburger that I had to order. The coach was very comfortable, important on such a long tour, and the tour guide was very informative in the sights that we passed and he was also very helpful and polite and we got on and off the coach, well done!
I'm giving two stars because the tour was too rushed and I felt we didn't have enough time to enjoy and explore the places we visited. I understand this tour is packed with places to see and I guess that's why the tour guide was rushing us all the time, but perhaps the tour should be organised differently. The tour guide also changed the tour plan during the tour. Overall, places we visited were beautiful, but I wish we could stay a bit longer at each place.
First things first, our tour guide Jordan was a legend, hats off to him for having his energy for 12 hrs with what I’d consider to be a ‘difficult’ group to tour. The tour itself is good and places visited are fantastic… the downside is that you just don’t get enough time in each place. I think taking some stops out of the tour and giving more time at each stop off would be more beneficial. If you’re looking for rainforest then do the Kuranda sky rail and then walk the big loop through the creeks instead ! The company the tour is operated by and tour guide were great, but it’s not worth the money in terms of experience (but is good when you consider fuel, lunch, etc)

Wonderful tour
Great tour that meant we got to have a packed day visiting mossman gorge, spotting crocs on a cruise on the daintree river, walking through the rainforest to cape tribulation and stopping off at some beautiful look outs. John, our tour guide was lovely-a very well organised day which I would highly recommend !
