Australian Luxury Escapes: Daintree Tour

Australian Luxury Escapes have been operating luxury 4WD and small group Eco Tours for over 25 years. The company is family owned and operated and they offer their guests a genuinely great experience.

Departing your accommodation, the tour travels through the rich farming areas toward the World Heritage listed forest region of the Daintree National Park.  Step aboard the personalised water craft for a cruise on the mirrored smooth waters of the Daintree River and the cruise will take you through silent backwaters, where crocodiles can normally be seen basking on the muddy banks.

Arriving on the northern side of the river, the tour now enters the Daintree section of the Wet Tropics World Heritage protected rainforest. The journey takes you up the beautiful Alexandra Range, passing through rainforest and on to the first stop deep in the rainforest at the Jindalba boardwalk.  Enjoy a home-made morning tea underneath the rainforest canopy and learn from your Tour Guide an insight into the local aboriginal culture of the area.

Continuing along, the next stop is at the magical Cape Tribulation beach; here the guides will highlight the amazing wildlife and ecosystems unique to this part of the world.  After lunch, you get to see unusual, exotic fruit originating from all over the globe’s tropical regions.  Along with the fruit trees, the orchard is also a host to beautiful species of tropical flowering plants, both native and introduced.

The last stop will be at the outstanding panoramic view at Alexandra Range Lookout.  From here you’ll have a spectacular view of the mouth of the Daintree River, Snapper Island and on a clear day Port Douglas.

Tours available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
