Exmouth: Cape Range National Park & Yardie Creek Tour

  • Exmouth

Overview

Journey into the heart of Tropical North Queensland on a full‑day adventure that showcases the only place on Earth where two UNESCO World Heritage sites meet — the ancient Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef . This immersive 11‑hour tour departs from Cairns and follows one of Australia’s most scenic coastal drives, offering sweeping views of the Coral Sea as you travel north toward Port Douglas .

Your first stop is the iconic Mossman Gorge, a spectacular landscape carved by the cool, crystal‑clear waters of the Mossman River. Here, giant granite boulders sit beneath towering rainforest canopy, creating one of the region’s most photogenic natural settings . You’ll also take part in a meaningful Welcome to Country and Smoke Ceremony led by the Kuku Yalanji people, offering cultural insight and a deeper connection to Country .

Next, board a Daintree River wildlife cruise, where your guide helps you spot crocodiles, birdlife, and other native species that thrive in this unique ecosystem . After a delicious lunch, continue into the world’s oldest living rainforest for a guided nature walk through lush undergrowth, mangroves, and towering trees before arriving at Cape Tribulation — the legendary point where rainforest meets reef .

Before returning to Cairns, enjoy a sweet stop at the Daintree Ice Cream Company, where you can sample locally made tropical flavours (optional, at your own expense) . With round‑trip transport, national park fees, guided walks, and a curated itinerary included, this tour offers a seamless, enriching, and unforgettable way to experience the best of the Daintree.

Perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and first‑time visitors, it’s one of Cairns’ most highly rated rainforest experiences — praised for knowledgeable guides, diverse activities, and breathtaking scenery .
