Back Country Bliss Adventures
Drift downstream through the Daintree.
Overview
Snorkelling in the rainforest? Absolutely. About 20 minutes north of Port Douglas, Back Country Bliss Adventures offers a tour where you'll drift down the river through the Daintree. Sometimes it's a gentle journey through shallow waters where you can see fish and freshwater turtles, as well as water lizards and possibly even the elusive little platypus. But, if there's been a fresh downpour of rain, you'll find yourself on a more adventurous and fast flowing trip.
The full-day Mossman Gorge Adventure Day takes you along the Mossman River and includes lunch and a smoking ceremony by the Traditional Custodians of this area, the Kuku Yalanji People. If you'd like an even bigger adventure, take the ten-kilometre Manjal Jimalji Hike and encounter the flora and fauna of the forest and boulders as you climb up for spectacular Daintree views. Plus, you can donate to Rainforest Rescue when booking your trip to help protect the future of the Daintree Rainforest long after your visit.
