DAY 1: Enjoy a leisurely start to the day before boarding your coach, which
will transfer you from your accommodation to the delightful Freshwater Station to
board the famous Kuranda Scenic Rail. Upon arrival in Kuranda, the day is yours
to experience the charm and colour of the village, including the many stalls and
shops, giving you the opportunity to sample and experience much of the local art
and handicraft.
At your scheduled time, your return to Cairns is aboard the "award winning"
Skyrail, providing a unique insight into the rainforest canopy and spectacular views
of the Coral Sea. Your rainforest experience ends at Caravonica Lakes where your
coach is waiting to transfer you back to your accommodation.
Coach transfer from accommodation to Freshwater Station from 8:00am for Kuranda
Scenic Rail departure at 9:45am. Return transfer to accommodation at 3:30pm or 5:15pm.
  
DAY 2: A fantastic day exploring the famous World Heritage rainforest of
Daintree and Cape Tribulation awaits you today. After being collected from your
Hotel, your first treat heading north is the spectacular coastal views as we wind
ouor way along one of the world's most scenic roads, the Captain Cook Highway.
After arriving in Daintree and crossing this famous river by ferry, we stop at the
Daintree Discovery Centre for morning tea and a guided tour. Your informative guide
will provide you with many interesting facts about this ancient rainforest, and
you have a chance to get a bird's eye view from the Rainforest Canopy Tower.
Time then to continue north to Cape Tribulation beach, where you have a chance to
walk along this beautiful beach or perhaps take the boardwalk. After re-boarding,
it's just a short trip to our lunch stop which is in a rainforest setting. Sit
back and enjoy the delicious food and perhaps a glass of wine.
The famous Daintree River is our next stop, where we board the Crocodile Express
for our cruise - make sure you keep an eye out for the elusive saltwater crocodile
and other wildlife that inhabits this area! After an enjoyable cruise, we start
our return trip to Cairns, stopping enroute at the beautiful Mossman Gorge for a
brief walk in this tranquil setting, then continuing to your accommodation with
plenty of fond memories of this day.
