DAY TWO:  BILLY TEA BUSH SAFARIS - CAPE TRIBULATION
 

Billy Tea Bush Safaris is the longest established 4WD day tour operator to Cape Tribulation.  Your naturalist guides have extensive knowledge of flora, fauna, history of the area and aboriginal culture. 

TRIP INCLUSIONS:

  • Return hotel transfers 
  • Environmentalist driver/guide
  • Custom built air-con Safari 4WD vehicles
  • Scenic coastal drive
  • 1 hour Daintree River Cruise
  • Morning Tea
  • Alexandra Range lookout
  • Guided National Park walks
  • Exclusive 4WD "Bloomfield Track"
  • Hand feed kangaroos
  • Exclusive Emmagen freshwater creek swim
  • Tropical BBQ
  • Walk on Cape Tribulation Beach
  • National Park elevated boardwalks
  • Cable ferry crossing
  • Small personalised tours - Maximum 14 passengers

The first 1/2 of the journey north is very scenic with beautiful ocean views in contrast with the lush farmland around Mossman.  After morning tea you will learn about the mangrove rainforests, and hopefully observe local wildlife including the Estuarine Crocodiles on the Daintree River Cruise.

Ascending the Alexandra Range pause for a panoramic view of World Heritage Rainforest merging with the azure colours of the Coral Sea. Experience the rainforest first hand on an elevated Daintree National Park boardwalk. Your guide will offer interesting flora and fauna interpretation.

A delicious barbecue lunch with freshly made salads is prepared while you have the chance to hand feed a kangaroo and enjoy a cold drink from the bar.

This tour offers a little more... It takes you beyond Cape Tribulation along the 4WD only 'Bloomfield Track', arriving at pristine Emmagen Creek. You have the opportunity to take a refreshing swim. Look for fish and turtles in the creek, butterflies and exotic birds in the trees and often Goannas on the forest floor. Indulge in a feast of tropical fruit, a complimentary glass of white wine or savour a cup of Traditional Billy Tea, all of which enhance the tranquil surrounds.

At Cape Tribulation Beach there is a little time to swim (seasonal) or stroll along the beach and boardwalk where the Rainforest meets the Reef. 

On the way home travel over the Daintree River via the cable ferry crossing.

GREAT NEWS! All bookings made through Travstar do not incur a credit card surcharge.
