Cape Tribulation Night Walk Tour (Daintree Rainforest Jungle Adventure)

In the Heart of Cape Tribulation!

This guided night walk will reveal some of the Daintree Rainforest’s hidden creatures, from an interesting array of insects, to sleeping birds, Boyd’s forest dragons, bandicoots and bats. Man’s impact has been minimal and it’s a landscape rich with natural history. Our guides are armed with a flashlight and knowledgeable on this unique environment; there’s no interpretive signage just you, a torch and your very own human Wikipedia to introduce you to the furry, feathery and scaly locals. While we can’t guarantee what you might specifically see, we commonly see and hear frogs, bandicoots, Boyd’s forest dragons spiders and some weird but wonderful insects If we’re really lucky, we might also see a Bennett’s Tree Kangaroo or an amethystine python.
