Tours are on a private basis where the itinerary is tailored to suit your interests. Below is an example of one of The Tailor’s favourite tours that we regularly utilise for families seeking a private experience of the ancient Daintree Rainforest.
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.
