North West Outback Safaris Australia

Your private guide will pick you up to begin your unique rainforest tour offering diversity in landscapes, wildlife and an extensive history of Australians in the early days. First you will enjoy a private cruise with your own private river guide in the Daintree River System looking for crocodiles, snakes and birds. You will travel through the oldest rainforest in world, estimated at about 135 million years of age, with amazing jungle on each side of the river.

Next it’s time to enter the Daintree section of the Wet Tropics World Heritage protected rainforest. This journey takes you up the beautiful Alexandra Range passing through rainforest, all the while learning from your guide the insight into the local aboriginal culture of the area. The Wet Tropics is one of the richest sites for biodiversity on earth and the Daintree is a place of spectacular beauty, rugged mountains, deep gorges and flowing rivers with numerous waterfalls.

Lunch is a special treat today, deep under the rainforest canopy, of tropical rainforest-inspired local produce. You will enjoy a wild life experience of feeding kangaroos in the wild and there will be a chance for a private rainforest walk, where you may possibly spot rainforest lizards, birds, butterflies and perhaps even marsupials!

The next stop is at a secluded beach, where your guide will highlight the amazing wildlife and ecosystems unique to this part of the world. Sometimes you can be the only people on this stretch of wilderness beach.

On the way back stop at the outstanding panoramic picture postcard 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.

Port Douglas is one of Australia’s most fashionable resort destinations with five-star restaurants, art galleries and designer boutiques. It’s located at the end of a peninsula, benefitting from tranquil waters and famous Four Mile Beach.

Port Douglas is notable for its closeness to three areas of natural significance: Daintree Rainforest and the adjoining Cape Tribulation region (home to some of the oldest surviving rainforests on earth) and the Great Barrier Reef.

The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest reef system comprising nearly 3,000 individual reefs and 900 islands – it is also the planet’s biggest single living structure, formed by billions of tiny organisms known as coral polyps. It stretches for over 2,600km, covering approximately 350,000 square kilometres.
