The programme

We will leave the port on a coach and embark on a sightseeing tour heading north along one of the most picturesque coastal roads in Australia.
We will travel to Mossman Gorge, a deep gorge carved out by a river with clear waters and immersed in a tropical rainforest ecosystem where wildlife thrives.
Accompanied by a local guide, we will enjoy a walk through the rainforest, amongst its ferns and towering trees, and along the river where clear waters run between immense granite boulders, creating spectacular natural pools.
Our guide will enrich our experience in this unrivalled setting with interesting accounts of the special relationship that links the indigenous people to the forest, showing us various types of plants traditionally used in cooking, to make soap or an ochre-coloured dye.
Then we will set off towards Daintree forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where we will witness that unique sight of the tropical vegetation that grows along the coastline and literally spills out into the sea.
We will have an hour free to explore this extraordinary place on our own, which is home to a wide variety of fauna. During the walk, we will spot birds, arboreal snakes, rare plants and, with a bit of luck, even a crocodile. There will be so many opportunities for extraordinary photos!
Our excursion will end with a delicious lunch at Daintree Teahouse where we will be served two exquisite courses in the heart of the rainforest.
