Here’s your chance to snorkel down the river used as the location for the Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg series The Pacific.

Your adventure starts as you and your family or closest friends meet up with your expert instructor and get outfitted with your wetsuit and snorkeling gear. Receive a brief lesson on snorkeling and river swimming then step into the cool, crystal clear waters and drift with the current as you explore life under the water’s surface. Watch fish dart in and around the river stones and keep your eyes out for the occasional turtle. Be rewarded for your efforts at the end with delicious chocolate chip cookies. This family-friendly tour is a perfect way to stay cool in the hot tropics and is a great introduction to snorkeling before heading out to the reefs. Small children can journey down the river on a large river sled and those guests who are uncomfortable can hold onto flotation devices.

It’s just you, your tour guide and numerous wildlife in a relatively untouched portion of Australia and the traditional land of the indigenous Kuku Yalanji people. Located inside the World Heritage-listed Daintree National Park, Mossman Gorge is home to more than 3,000 species of plants, 315 species of mammals and more than 430 species of birds. Wind your way deep into the spectacular rainforest around a 1-hour circuit track while your guide points out several flora and fauna.

Watch for rare animals such as ringtail possums and the Cassowary as you are immersed in a symphony of sounds from the various birds and amphibians. Keep an eye out for the area’s Boyd Forest Dragon, a chameleon that changes color to blend into the surrounding area. Listen for the piercing scream of the cat-sized spotted-tail quolls that roam the lush rainforest. While on your walk, stop and deeply inhale the pure forest air and enjoy a refreshing dip in one of the many pools of water.

Be sure to bring your camera to capture the animals and get photos of the famous Strangler Fig trees with their flying buttresses that help form the dense canopy overhead. Enjoy delicious chocolate chip cookies during your outing to keep you energized. This half-day private tour is a great way to experience the wild side of ancient Australia.
