Mix outdoor activities and cultural education on a six-day adventure to the Daintree Rainforest (the oldest rainforest in the world, which finds its home in tropical North Queensland) and Cape Tribulation. Starting in Cairns, you’ll take guided First Nations walks, visit waterfalls and learn about bat rehabilitation at Australia’s largest facility. Then explore the Mareeba Wetlands as the sun goes down, swim in Mossman Gorge, walk and hike through rainforest, spot tropical fish, turtles and birdlife by watering holes and enjoy loads of free time to truly make the adventure yours.
Highlights
- Start your trip with an eco-tour of Mandingal Bay in Cairns with a First Nations guide and experience a traditional Welcome to Country and smoking ceremony.
- Visit the Daintree Rainforest – the oldest rainforest in the world – and Cape Tribulation on a stunning day that ticks off two UNESCO World Heritage areas (nature lovers rejoice!).
- Hang out at Tolga Bat Hospital – the country’s largest rehabilitation facility for the famous upside-down critters – and learn about their research and advocacy projects.
- Watch the sunset over the Mareeba Wetlands on a unique wildlife spotting experience hosted by Forever Wild – an organisation focused on combatting climate crises with community and conservation-based activities.
- Witness the expansive and iconic Great Barrier Reef on a snorkelling adventure, where you can see the colourful corals and tropical fish as you swim with turtles off the Daintree coast.

This was a great trip with a varied itinerary that touched on many interesting things. Highly recommended itinerary for anyone to enjoy this area and our guide Nicole was excellent.

Intrepid joins the dots on Far North Queensland - Cairns, Kuranda, the Daintree, Cooktown and the tableland. Snorkel the Reef, it's special. Included breakfasts are great to start the big days. The drives are broken up well with forests, waterfalls and beaches (watch for crocs). The Sovereign Resort in Cooktown topped it off.
