Daintree Explorer

Cairns City, Queensland

Combine Port Douglas and Cooktown with lush rainforest and adventure on this drive which includes a four-wheel drive adventure on the beautiful coastal Bloomfield Track. From the fabulous restaurants and boutique shopping of Port Douglas it's only a short drive to Daintree Village where you can take a tour to spot crocodiles before catching the ferry over Daintree River. Take time to stop at the many spectacular beaches and to explore the rainforest on your way to Cape Tribulation. The Bloomfield Track crosses Bloomfield River to its spectacular falls, past the Aboriginal community of Wujal Wujal, the eclectic Lion's Den Hotel and mysterious Black Mountain on the way to Cooktown. It is easy to spend days in historic Cooktown exploring its many museums and remnants of the gold rush days. On the return journey you'll head inland to explore the diverse landscape along the Mulligan Highway to Lakeland. Situated on the historic Palmer River, site of the original gold rush, the Palmer River Roadhouse boasts home cooked meals and a museum. Turn into Mount Molloy to see the grave of explorer James Venture Mulligan before heading down the mountain range to Mossman and stunning Mossman Gorge.
