Mossman - River Drift Snorkelling
If you love nature and the water, then this is the perfect tour for you! Within an ancient rainforest, step into the cool, crystal clear water and drift with the current as you explore life under the water’s surface. Watch fish dart in and around the river stones and keep your eyes out for the occasional turtle. This family friendly tour is a perfect way to stay cool in the hot tropics and is a great introduction to snorkelling before heading out to the reefs. Small children can journey down the river on large river sleds.

Daintree Magic - Our brilliant guides, Josh and Leo brought new meaning to a memorable day. They were both consummate professionals right from the start. Full of knowledge on all things flora, fauna and beyond throughout our adventure floating down a section of the Mossman River and walking through the Daintree Rainforest while photo capturing key activities. Highly recommended!!

The BEST in Port Douglas and Australia - The BEST of many great things I did in the Port Douglas area...and in a month of wonderful adventures in Australia. I didn't expect to have so much fun and to smile the whole time. The guides gave us great information about plants and animals (a kookaburra! an orange-footed scrub fowl nest [huge!]! a killer plant!), and of course the fun, relaxing, and peaceful trip on the river. It was the right mix of everything, including letting us play at the end in the water - when of course we wanted the fun to last. Wonderful for all the kids on the trip, including this much older kid at heart!

Don’t go past this amazing experience! - Pop this on your ‘must do list’!! What an amazing hidden gem, this is nature at its best. Become a tree hugger (with the staff to start the tour) and thank nature for this beauty! You will feel a million miles away discovering various plants, trees and animals. Along the way, you get a couple of taste tests of natures tasty wonders. Josh and Miki were lovely knowledgeable staff to guide you along the way. Thanks for the experience! The photos don’t do this beautiful place justice.

Don’t question whether you should do this adventure - this is a bucket list item you won’t ever forget - it’s a MUST DO - This tour made our 2024 Family Holiday complete. This was a fantastic experience and we felt honoured and privileged to be on such special country.
It was a family friendly tour and all the guides are truly industry professionals. If you are lucky enough to have Vincent take you as a guide, you won’t find a more passionate, caring and genuinely involved guide.

Excellent experience with Back Country Bliss Adventures - Today we spent the day with Will from Back Country Bliss Adventures, and had a wonderful day river drafting and walking through Mossman Gorge. River Drafting was like nothing we’d done before and is an amazing way to see the Daintree (we were also accompanied by Renee for this part of the day, and she provided excellent guidance as we headed down the river). Will’s knowledge and connection to the region was evident and we learnt so much during our day with him. We rounded the day off with a swim in a secluded and beautiful billabong - would highly recommend this day out.

Unique way to see the Daintree, floating in style - Loved this tour! Best part was floating down the river. Also enjoyed the COLD plunge by Mossman Gorge. Lunch was tasty. Guides were fantastic and made the experience truly enjoyable. Learned a lot about the Daintree, but mostly had a wonderful day outdoors.
