5.Daintree Rainforest & Mossman Gorge Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 133 reviews · 8h 30m · from $145Best value

Travel from Port Douglas to Mossman Gorge and the Daintree with an English-speaking guide such as Ben, Kyla, or Matt. Expect a Kuku Yalanji Welcome to Country and Smoke Ceremony, a river cruise, lunch, rainforest walks, optional swimming, and a stop for local fruit ice cream.

“Very good. Our guide John was excellent and engaging. He was efficient and professional at all times. My only concern was the lack of any safety talk when boarding the boat for the river cruise and the lack of visible/accessible safety equipment such a lifebelts if there was an emergency. There was quite a lot of water in the bottom of the boat which was slightly disconcerting too.”
