Half Day Tour to Daintree Rainforest and Mossman Gorge

We went on the half day tour for the afternoon and had a fabulous day! Our guide picked us up from our front door and dropped us back in the afternoon. He was very well informed and we got to see crocs taking some sun, as well as a smaller baby croc. The swim in Mossman gorge was amazing - cool and refreshing but so beautiful.

We did the half day so we got picked up at 0845, which was wonderful as other tours started very early. Loved the Daintree Forest so interesting and the water was very tempting to go for a swim. John our tour guy was great really looked after us with morning tea and then lunch. Great day, take water and hats

We had a great time. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed the day and it was just enough time for them. Our tour guide John was very knowledgeable and funny throughout the tour. John gave some great suggestions on food and drink currently enjoying a nice coffee at Eve (one of his suggestions).

James our driver and guide was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommended! Mossman Gorge and the Daintree river cruise with the crocs were fantastic!

We really enjoyed this trip from start to finish. Stopped for coffee on a lovely little beach, boat trip was fab and James tour through the rain forest was fab and insightful. Well done James and thank you.

We went on the half day experience which was conducted by our driver/guide, James, who was so knowledgeable and entertaing throughout the whole trip. We were picked up at the marina where our cruise ship tender dropped us and drove out from Port Douglas to a beach stop where we had coffee and pastries from the local bakers. We the drove to the Daintree River where we had a cruise on the river, spotting young crocodiles sun bathing and learning about the various trees and shrubs which bordered the river. When the river trip was finished, we then drove to Mossman Gorge visitor centre which is run by the local aboriginal tribe. James took us on a walk through the gorge and waterfalls, explaining so much about the flora and fauna. At the end of this part of the trip we were offered delicious chicken and salad rolls, again, from the local bakery. Then dropped off in Port Douglas at The Tin Shed, a community pub where we got ourselves a drink. A wonderful day out and Port Douglas is a lovely town. Back in plenty of time to get our tender back to the ship.

Given the fact we had been advised some wild life would be tricky to spot.... this was a very well managed and really interesting tour. James was good fun, informative and delivered the different components of this trip with consumate ease. We were introduced to :- Tree Lizards, juvenile black snake, golden orb spiders, skinks on the Daintree Forest walk... and then x2 adult crocodiles and one year old juvenile on the Daintree river tour. My Gluten free lunch was well catered for and honestly having been on lots of tours real value for money. Thoroughly recommend.

WOW what a beautiful place! We had the five star experience from our tour guide James- he went above and beyond to ensure we got to learn about the beauty that is the Daintree forest! He on route to our crocodile tour even allowed us to stop at the beach to ensure we got to soak up all on this trip where we enjoyed a pastry breakfast and fruit platter.James is a fantastic guide and we couldn’t recommend him enough! Thank you James for all of your tips and tricks also provided for Port Douglas!

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our Tour Guide Ben was very knowledgable and friendly We even got to see a few crocs during our boat ride on Daintree River Morning tea and lunch both delicious! Highly recommend!

We had a great time and learned about the ecosystem in the Daintree Rainforest. All of our guides were very knowledgeable.
