Book a Full Day Daintree Discovery Tour, Including Mossman Gorge, From Port Douglas. (From $289 per person, this is our top pick of all the Daintree tours, highly recommended. If you drive up from Cairns, join the tour at the Wildlife Habitat in Port.)
To book a Daintree tour from Cairns, go here. These tours generally have an option to take a Daintree River cruise, we recommend you do this to see the crocodiles.
Grab your chance to take a glass bottom boat trip around the fringing reefs at Low Isles. This is a half-day trip and ideally you should do this as well as an Outer Reef fullday tour. This is a better option with small kids, babies, or toddlers as you can access the sandy beach. Find out more, and book, here. Not all boat trips allow you onto the island, this is why this trip is our top pick.
We do our best to keep on top of tour prices on this page, but they do change from time to time. Clicking the links to view booking details will give you the up-to-date costs. Some tours will be cancelled by extremes of weather and public holidays.
