Daintree River & Mossman Gorge Tour
Depart on a scenic drive north along the coast to Daintree. The first stop is at the Daintree River Cruise Centre to enjoy an informative guided River Cruise on the Daintree River. Relax and enjoy the splendour only the Daintree can offer as you learn of crocodiles, mangrove forests and wildlife. This is nature at its best!
Next, continue your drive to Mossman Gorge. Here, journey along gentle trails and immerse yourself in the Aboriginal world on the enchanting Ngadiku Dreamtime Walk. A must for every visitor to Mossman Gorge, this experience introduces the Aboriginal spiritual belief of the Dreamtime, when mythic ancestors formed the earth, and which manifests itself today in the land and in dreams.
Be captivated by Ngadiku legends and the traditions of the Kuku Yalanji culture that thrives here today. You’ll be welcomed with a traditional smoking ceremony that cleanses and wards off bad spirits. Then, meander through the stunning rainforest past traditional huts or “humpies.” Your experienced Aboriginal guide will explain traditional plant use, identify bush food sources and demonstrate practices such as making bush soap and ochre painting. At the end of the tour, you’ll enjoy some bush tea and damper (unleavened bread).
An experience that will deepen your appreciation for the Aboriginal people’s special relationship with the rainforest.
