Private Daintree Wanderer Tour

Itinerary:

Valid for 01APR24-31MAR25:
An Australian Luxury Escapes vehicle will pick you up from your hotel to commence your Daintree Wanderer Tour. We will travel through the rich farming areas towards the World Heritage listed forest region of the Daintree National Park. Boarding your cruise along the Daintree River; as you cruise close to riverbanks and under the overhead canopy of the rainforest, you will spend time seeking out Ulysses Butterfly, Kingfishers, Pythons and other wildlife before experiencing the silent backwaters where crocodiles can normally be seen basking on the muddy banks. Arriving on the northern side of the river, we now enter the Daintree section of the Wet Tropics World Heritage protected rainforest, here we spend time enjoying a home-made morning tea underneath the rainforest canopy. Your journey then passes through local rainforest, immerse yourself inside protected forests as we take you on a guided walk to view ancient plants, amazing wildlife and gain some insight into the local aboriginal culture of the area. Continuing along to Cape Tribulation, one of many magical beaches that adorn the coastline, our guides will highlight the amazing wildlife unique to this part of the world. Lunch today is a rainforest-inspired meal which includes local produce and a glass of beer, wine, or soft drink. After lunch, get up close and personal with reptiles, frogs and lizards endemic to the area; if the cute and cuddly animals are more to your liking, then you will have the opportunity to feed the kangaroos and swamp wallabies in your own private zoo. Re-boarding your vehicle, we get to see unusual, exotic fruit originating from all over the globe's tropical regions. The sole purpose for the fruit grown here is to make pure, fresh, ice cream and sorbet which is made on the property and sold nowhere else on the globe. For all those ice cream lovers, this is your chance to add to your list of flavours (optional extra at own expense). Our last stop before crossing the Daintree River Ferry, an iconic vehicle punt, will be at Alexandra Range Lookout. Witness spectacular panoramic postcard views of the mouth of the Daintree River, Snapper Island and on a clear day Port Douglas before commencing the journey back to your accommodation in the early evening. Tour concludes at approximately 4:30pm, at which time hotel drop offs will commence.
