What to expect

You'll leave the marina in a comfortable vehicle and head into the Daintree, where your guide points out native wildlife, ancient plant species, and forest ecology. The pace is relaxed—this isn't a strenuous hike. Mid-tour, you'll eat a meal surrounded by the sounds and greenery of the rainforest. Expect humidity, tropical heat, and plenty of stopping points to look and listen. The entire experience loops back to the marina with time to spare before ship departure.
