Cape Tribulation, Mossman Gorge, and Daintree Rainforest Day Trip from Cairns or Port Douglas

очень хороший водитель и лидер. мы сделали этот тур с Trek North. Посещение музея бабочек и насекомых было его достойным. Также был прекрасный обед для барбекю на краю воды. Мы были разочарованы тем, что Мосманское ущелье не было включено, но в то время это было бы слишком много.

Фантастический гид, потрясающие достопримечательности. Но за 12-часовой день и заплатив 17 долларов за обед, было неутешительно сказать. Прибыл обратно в Кэрнс, слишком голодный. Только недостаток дня.

Это действительно долгий день. Гид, Томас, был замечательным. Он был действительно энергичным проводником, и как местный был очень хорошо осведомлен. Моссманское ущелье красиво, поплавать по утрам. Мы все отправились в тур по крокодилу, поэтому я честно не уверен, что мы это сделаем, даже если не платим за это при бронировании, поскольку он не упоминался. , ? Мы совершили тур в последнюю пятницу школьных каникул, так что ждать на пароме было довольно долго, но Томас стремился обеспечить, чтобы это не ослабило настроение. К сожалению, к тому времени, когда мы должны были ехать в Порт-Дуглас, было темно, и поэтому мы просто вытеснили улицы в темноте.

Наша поездка была замечательной, Эли наш гид был забавным и действительно заботился о нас как о его собственном гостю. Он развлекался и с энтузиазмом делился информацией по всему миру. Утро началось с церемонии курения и закончилось янтарным закатом. Мы любили наблюдать за этими массивными деревьями и никогда не заканчивать лес, который вел так много жизней целую вечность. Стоит посмотреть, любите ли вы природу!

Visited as part of an organised excursion, Mossman gorgeous was a guided walk in the rainforest which was really informative and a visit to Cape Tribulation to see where 2 UNESCO sites meet . All I can say is what a stunning beach, absolutely gorgeous

It’s a long day with a lot of driving from Cairns. Tour driver very knowledgeable. Saw 1 crocodile on the boat.

If this is your first full day in Cairns, a great way to start to see the area is partaking in the Cape Tribulation, Mossman Gorge and Daintree Rainforest Day Trip. On Saturday, November 29, 2025, we were fortunate enough to take in this day with Ron and Active Tropics Explorer. The day kicked off with a pickup at our hotel. The vehicle was a well-appointed 27 person van with comfortable seats. The first stop is at the Mossman Gorge Cultural Center (MGCC). This includes a great speech from a guide that recounts the history of the land. They have a great demonstration about the use of smoke and fire that is symbolic for visiting the land. Upon completing the demonstration, you have an opportunity to use a nice full-service rest room with running water, soap and towels. Take advantage of this before you board the shuttle bus to the hiking path. The MGCC team will whisk you up the trail to the start of the path. This is a nicely paved path that allows you to wander through some quick sites in the. Rain forest. There is a quick swimming hole, but give the length of the day and short amount of time there, I would forgo swimming and just stick to the path. The path has a great suspension bridge that was a bit of an engineering feat to assemble. You should visit the bridge to take in what they have accomplished. The time at the MGCC is quick, but it gives you a good synopsis of the rainforest and the beauty. Prior to departing the MGCC you have a chance to grab a quick snack and once again use the full-service rest room. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. From the MGCC you will end up on the Daintree River Cruise. This is a smooth ride up the Daintree River where the guide will point out the history of the river, and you will be on the lookout for reptiles. On November 30, 2025, we were fortunate enough to have Gary as our guide. He is a connoisseur of all things related to the Daintree River. We were fortunate to have his knowledge and keen eye to point out the various creates along the river. Having completed the riverboat tour and MGCC it is now off to lunch. The tour takes you to Ocean Safari where you had previously pre-ordered your lunch. I enjoyed the chicken bowl. The restaurant has an assortment of drinks to consume and has another full service rest room for your convenience. After lunch it is back in the van for a tour through the forest. You will get to experience magnificent views and beaches along the journey. Please note, the beaches are a quick stop, you do not setup shop there for any period of time. The trails through the rainforest are paved and easy to navigate. You do not need hiking boots for any part of this adventure. Overall this is a great way to see the Daintree rainforest. It is a great warm up trip for your first day in the city of Cairns. This gives you time to adjust to the time zone and get a feel for the weather. If you do go on this trip, and you should go with the team at Active Tropics, remember it is a winding road through the forest. If you have issues with car sickness or back issues, make sure you choose a seat in the front of the van or take any necessary medications to enjoy the trip. I am thankful to Ron that managed to navigate the hours of driving and construction along the route to give us an amazing and memorable day!

Michael was a PHENOMENAL guide for this trip!! It was a day packed with so many wonderful things: beautiful views, lovely tea before the river cruise, engaging cruise guide, informative rain forest walk, delicious lunch and ice cream, refreshing swim (bring a towel!!), and surprise photo option when dropping off one of the people in our group!! Sooooo worth every penny!!

We had a great time in this tour. Patrick was very knowledgeable about the area and a little rain did not deter him at all and I’m glad he convinced us to go out in the rain. I would definitely recommend this trip.

This tour tries to do too much in one day. Lunch at 3pm is ridiculous! If they skipped Mossman Gorge it would be better for it.
