Private Wildlife and Rainforest Tour from Port Douglas

1 day
Private
About this activity
The day begins with a pickup from your accommodation and a leisurely drive from the coastal lowlands through lush jungle-clad slopes to the top of the Great Dividing Range and the beginning of the Atherton Tablelands.

Our first stop of the day is at a private riverfront property. At the property we regularly see the resident emu, wallabies, bower birds and an abundance of other birdlife. We take a nature walk along the river and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee boiled over the fire.

Next, we head off to explore grasslands where we can see hundreds of Eastern Grey kangaroos. During the day these animals are found lazing in the shade of large trees and will let us get close enough for great photos.

It's now time time to leave the dry outback behind and explore north Queensland's famous World Heritage rainforest, the oldest continually surviving rainforest in the world.

Before lunch we try our luck at finding the elusive platypus, one of Australia's oddest animals. The creek we visit has a healthy platypus population and we are lucky enough to see them on most of our trips.

Lunch is at a small family-run restaurant beside a breathtaking volcanic crater-lake and after lunch it is time to explore the lake and it's rainforest fringe on a lake cruise. We usually see plenty of turtles, eels, fish and birdlife, and will often also spot an Amethystine python or Eastern water-dragon basking in the sun besides the lake.

After the cruise, we will discuss what else you would like to see and do for the rest of the afternoon. We have a range of permits and options, allowing us to visit beautiful rainforest locations, go looking for the rare Lumholtz tree kangaroo, hand-feed wild Mareeba rock wallabies or visit some of the regions most impressive waterfalls.

As the day draws to a close we have the opportunity to stop for local coffee, purchase fresh tropical produce and continue to look for native wildlife whilst enjoying the beautiful Queensland outback, tropical savanna, rainforest scenery and often a gorgeous sunset.

Trips depart at 7:30 am and return at approximately 5:30 pm.
