Itinerary:
Valid for 01APR24-31MAR25:
Picking up at your accommodation in a Billy Tea Safaris custom 4WD vehicle, this full day tour travels north along the picturesque Great Barrier Reef Drive on route to the World Heritage Listed, Daintree National Park. Enjoy light refreshments before embarking on a 1-hour Daintree River Cruise providing insight into the region’s unique flora and fauna including the estuarine crocodile, an infamous apex predator, at home amongst some of the world’s most biologically diverse mangrove habitat. Back on land, enjoy an interpretive drive over the Alexandra Range, venturing into the heart of the oldest continually existing rainforest on earth. Join your expert local guide on an informative boardwalk tour while on the lookout for the elusive Southern Cassowary and prehistoric Boyd’s Rainforest Dragon. Discover ancient ferns, palms and enormous woody vines, while a myriad of epiphytes, climbing plants and orchids cling to the giant limbs and trunks of emergent rainforest trees. An abundance of shade loving mosses, invertebrates and nutrient recycling fungi litter the rainforest floor, which combined with a range of endemic birds, reptiles, rainforest macropods and more, weave an intricate web of life that has shaped this fascinating environment over its 180-million-year history. Lunch, including tea/coffee and a seasonal fruit platter is served in a beautiful rainforest setting with opportunity for an invigorating rainforest swim including chance sightings of jungle perch, saw-shelled turtles and the dazzling electric-blue Ulysses butterfly. For over 50,000 years, Cape Tribulation beach (Kalkajaka) has held immense cultural significance for the local Kuku Yalanji Aboriginal people, while providing modern day visitors the unique opportunity to witness the only place on earth where two World Heritage Listed sites converge - where rainforest meets the reef. The day concludes with a delicious tropical fruit ice-cream made from 100% locally sourced ingredients, followed by a cable ferry crossing back over the Daintree River before returning to your accommodation late afternoon.
