Additional Information
This Daintree experience is truly one-of-a-kind!
The tour takes place from roughly 8:30am to 4:30pm.
We’ve procured special permission to enter a secluded tropical fruit plantation in the Daintree Rainforest where we have the opportunity to trek into ancient undergrowth and take a dip under a hidden, unspoilt waterfall…
Following our serene stroll through lush forestry and alongside babbling brooks, we indulge in an exquisite gourmet lunch boasting choices like steak, barramundi fish, chicken, kangaroo and vegetarian options.
Then, we wrap up the day with a unique Daintree River boat excursion powered by solar, keeping an eye out for intriguing estuarine crocodiles and different forms of wildlife that call this World Heritage site home.
Note: This excursion is only accessible to guests lodging in Port Douglas or Mossman (Silky Oaks). A similar tour, ‘Daintree Cape Tribulation Waterfall Hike Tour with Gourmet Lunch & Swim’ is available for guests living North of the Daintree River (Cape Trib). To find this, simply look up ‘Daintree hike’, where you will find my six tour variants listed.

The best! - There was no other way for us to discover the rainforest than with Allister's hike. If there is anyone who knows that rainforest inside out and knows how to captivate it is Allister. Fine hike, great swimming, super lunch and beautiful river cruise.

Outstanding small group rainforest hike with and outstanding local guide. - This is a really good small group trip into an uncrowded area of the Daintree rainforest. Allister, our tour guide, made this a special and unique experience with his detailed knowledge of the trees, plants and animals of the rainforest. We did a moderately challenging hike along a small river to a beautiful waterfall and swimming hole - just our group at the falls! After our rainforest walk we had lunch at a local restaurant - excellent, with lots of interesting fruits to try. We then took a crocodile spotting boat trip on the Daintree River with good success! Overall, it was an outstanding day with an outstanding local guide.

Day packed with highlights - A great day trip with Allister! He is very knowledgeable and passionate about this region and his job and always has a good story to tell. The weather was great and we hiked to the waterfall and went for a refreshing swim. The lunch was another highlight with explanations of the local tropical fruits, which we had on our plates to try and the river cruise was excellent, we saw three crocs from small to the biggest one around. I really enjoyed this tour and can highly recommend it!

Got one day in the Daintree? - Our hotel recommended this tour as it is for small groups only and included exactly what we wanted - a "croc cruise" and some hiking with a dip to cool off. Allister was very entertaining and knowledgeable about FNQ. It was the perfect way to cover the Daintree in a day and learn a lot about what this incredible corner of the world has.

Fantastic Rainforest Experience - An absolute fantastic day! Allister made it fun, interesting and informative. This is a small group tour and is perfect for the day.
We started on the Daintree river and saw 4 large saltwater crocs and a juvenile, stopped for an early lunch at a special spot in the jungle with the best food! Afternoon was a hike (which was a little challenging on a small narrow trail) thru private property to the most spectacular waterfall. This is the only tour permitted on the property and the only way to see this waterfall. Allister explained the flora & fauna of the rainforest during the hike which we found very informative.
We had a great day and enjoyed Allister company!

Amazing waterfall swim - Allister was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the rainforest. We had an amazing hike to a secluded waterfall for a swim. Pick-up time was spot on and the pace of the day was just right.

Allister was very... - Allister was very knowledgeable and flexible with whatever works best for the people on the tour. The location was very private for the hike. We loved every second of it! The catering company he uses for lunch is amazing. I usually have to bring my own food places because I’m celiac but they were very knowledgeable and provide safe food for this, so I had no worries.

Exceptional service in the Daintree - We had a great day out in the rainforest. Alister our guide was amazingly informative showing us lots of cool things in the bush. The trek up to the private waterfall is an easy hike but beautiful. We loved taking a dip and our daughter couldn’t get enough of the rope swing.
Lunch was good with the highlight learning about all the exotic fruits from around the world. We were lucky enough to taste a number of them.
On the river safari we were lucky enough to spot two female crocodiles. Even if we didn’t see any crocodiles we would have been happy as the trip on the water is therapeutic in the solar powered boat.
Great day out!! Highly recommend.
