Adventure Tours to the Daintree Rainforest: Celebrate Earth Day
Who says Earth Day has to be regulated to just 24 hours when there are adventure tours to North
Queensland available? Adventure tours to North Queensland may include a wide variety of
eco-friendly activities, including an informative expedition to the Daintree Rainforest. It is
widely recognised as one of the oldest and most diverse, tropical rainforests in the world.
Unlike some adventure tours to Daintree Rainforest, ours include opportunities to interact in the
field with tertiary qualified, biological scientists.
Let’s take our Tropics Explorer Overnight adventure tours as examples. They may be customised to
include guided, nighttime walks through the Daintree Rainforest and participation in indigenous
cultural activities within the Kuku Yalanji country. The list of other adventure tour add-ons
includes, but isn’t limited to horseback riding on the beach, jungle surfing, unguided walks
through the forest and sea kayaking at sunrise or sunset. The sea kayaking experience, by the
way, is guided and takes place in Cape Tribulation Headland. It’s part of the rainforest as well
as the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.
The two areas are home to many rare mammals, insects, birds and other wildlife that can be
discussed with the tertiary qualified, biological scientists associated with Wings’ adventure
tours. One animal that you may encounter during evening walks through the rainforest is the green
ringtail possum. Although they are nocturnal, green ringtail possums differ from their North
American relatives. For example, they prefer living in higher elevations and eating stinger
plants, which their North American cohorts wouldn’t be able to stomach. Just ask our adventurous
biologists why and we’re sure that they’ll enlighten you.
In the meantime, to learn more about adventure tours and using them to commune with some of the
world’s most interesting inhabitants please contact us online at Wings. We offer travelers a
variety of tour options to choose from including ones that focus on diving, sailing and mini 4WD
fun.
