Your naturalist guide
will meet you at your accommodation and after introductions
all around we drive north along the scenic route to
Mossman.
Lush farmland contrasts with seascape as we approach the
majestic Daintree River.
Time for a short morning tea break then its 'all aboard' for
an informative river cruise. Relax and enjoy the splendour
only the daintree can offer as you learn of estuarme
crocodiles, mangrove forests, wildlife, this is nature at
its best. We then ascend the Alexandra Range, pause for a
panoramic view of the World Heritage Tropical Rainforest
merging with the Coral Sea. A delicious barbecue with home
made salads, tropical fruits and Australian wine is prepared
whilst you take the oppoturnity to swim in a tranquil
freshwater stream.
Fish and turtles in the creek, butterflies and exotic birds
in the trees, and often goannas on the forest floor, all at
our luncheon site. We have no set timetable or schedule as
such, so throw away your watch and enjoy elevated walks
through the Cape Tribulation National Park with experienced
guides who allow ample time for questions and
photographs.
Our tour does a little more. It takes you beyond Cape
Tribulation along the 4WD only 'Bloomfield Track', allows
time for a swim in the Coral Sea at Cape Tribulation
(seasonal) where the "Rainforest meets the, Reef".
A short afternoon refreshment stop where you can pat a
kangaroo, scratch a cockatoo, have a cold beer or sip a cup
of local tea, we then begin our homeward journey somewhat
wiser from our "Rainforest Experience".
