1. From Cairns: Daintree National Park Day Trip and Night Tour
Begin your foray into northern Australia's tropical rainforest climate with a pickup from your accommodation in Cairns in the mid afternoon. Drive along the Great Barrier Reef Drive, the region’s most scenic coastal highway, and observe the changes in habitat diversity as you venture north to Daintree National Park. Go for a guided cruise down the beautiful Daintree River and keep your eyes peeled for crocodiles and other native wildlife. Enjoy a quiet and fume-free experience on a solar-powered electric boat with zero environmental impact. Hop off at Cape Tribulation, a UNESCO World Heritage area with pristine beaches, rainforest, cool streams, towering mountains, and freshwater valleys. Spend an hour exploring this tropical paradise before heading to dinner at Whet Restaurant nestled in the dense jungle. Then finish with a not-to-be-missed night tour through the rainforest. Get the opportunity to see a variety of nocturnal species that come out at night to avoid to heat of the day in the tropical climate. Afterwards, cross the Daintree River on the cable ferry and get transported back to your accommodation in Cairns, arriving around 10:30 pm.
