Daintree Discovery Tours lets you experience this area rather than just looking. Imagine sitting down on a quite beach having morning tea, overlooking the Coral Sea, kayaking around the Cape Tribulation Headland, spotting turtles and visiting an ancient piece of rainforest in the heart of the Daintree- viewing a modern day dinosaur the Cassowary. Then end your day cruising silently on the Daintree River. All in the comfort of our Luxury 8 seater Mercedes Van.
