Mossman Gorge Tours and Tickets

Q: What is the best time of year to visit Mossman Gorge?

<p>The best time of year to visit Mossman Gorge in Queensland is during the dry season, from May to October, when the weather is generally more pleasant with lower humidity and less rainfall. The dry season also ensures better accessibility to the gorge; heavy rains during the wet season (November to April) can raise higher water levels and potentially impact some trails and access points.</p>

Q: How long does it take to explore Mossman Gorge?

<p>Exploring Mossman Gorge can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a full day, depending on the activities you choose. If you're doing a self-guided walk on the Rainforest Circuit, which is about 2 miles (3.4 kilometers) long, it typically takes around two hours to complete. If you join a guided tour, you might spend 2-3 hours or more at Mossman Gorge.</p>

Growing in knowledge with the world we live in.

Our Kiwi driver Sam ensured we all had a great time, sharing his knowledge as we drove to various points throughout the day. All aspects of the tour were excellent, and the session with the local person showing and explaining their culture was fantastic. The part of the tour could have perhaps been longer as the knowledge that we gained was great. A great day out.

We had a wonderful day! The Daintree Rainforest was beautiful! What really made the whole day was our guide Steve. He was so funny and taught us so much about the forest and surrounding area. Lunch was delicious. It was so fun to try all different kinds of tropical fruits, several which I’ve never tried before, and some I’ve never even heard of before. Our ice cream stop was a real delight, and a great way to end the day. It was an all around great day spent in the rainforest!
