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>

A must-do experience

I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. It is a full-on day packed with so much to see! A great starting point for a visit up north. Every part was amazing- the beauty of Mossman Gorge, the entertainment on the crocodile boat, a couple of short hikes through gorgeous rainforest and swimming in a crystal clear watering hole, just to name the highlights. It honestly could not have been any better. I'll be recommending this tour to all my friends and family. Sublime!

Great day out!

We were incredibly lucky to have Ash as our guide on our tour today. He was an absolute gem, so knowledgeable and friendly. He really made our day. The tour itself is a great way to see the main sights without having to worry about driving or getting lost. Everything we saw was beautiful (even the crocs!) and to have someone talk about what we were seeing in real time made it so much more memorable. Gemma in the office was fantastic as well, we couldn't say enough positives if we tried!

It was a very enjoyable day. Our guide Ash did a great job at balancing pacing with providing lots of interesting information. The amount of time at each location was perfect. I enjoyed his knowledge and friendly banter throughout the day. Lunch was beautiful and the scenery amazing. We saw a 5 metre croc on the river cruise, very impressive.
