Highlights

  • Port Douglas: Here you can go for a walk and swim at the famous Four Mile Beach, enjoy some morning tea and get to know each other!
  • Crocs: On your tour you will go looking for the famous and scary saltwater crocodiles in the wild! We time your cruise with the tides because this will give you the best chance to see a croc!
  • Rare wildlife & ancient rainforest: We cross the Daintree River on the ferry and then we really hit the wild side of the road and drive through some of the oldest rainforests in the world! There is no time to mess around… let’s try and find a cassowary! This is a very rare dinosaur-looking bird.
  • Lunch and beach time: Grab some food and head for the beach, as free time is on the cards!
  • Swimming: After lunch you will have the chance to enjoy a swim in a beautiful freshwater tropical stream in the middle of the rainforest!
