A gentle journey through shallow waters where fish and freshwater turtles, as well as water lizards and possibly even the elusive platypus swim below. But, if there’s beena fresh downpour of rain, it can be a more adventurous and fast flowing trip. Back CountryBliss runs the guided tour on a magnificent stretch of the Mossman River (known to the FirstNations Kuku Yalanji as Jinkalmu) just downstream from the lodge, which being too high,too cool and too clear, is assuredly crocodile free.

Cape Tribulation is where the rainforest meets the reef and the best way to experience its extraordinary natural wonders. Lunch at the Daintree Tea House, a swim at nearby Emmagen Creek, a walk on Marrdja Boardwalk, a stop for ice cream and a look-in at Mount Alexandra Lookout to take in the views are all on the itinerary for the day. On the way home, there’s a Daintree River wildlife spotting cruise to round out a top day in the tropics,before farewell.
