This exclusive Daintree waterfall tour is the only one to take you to the magical Cassowary Falls.

Towering trees provide shade and mossy rocks with ferns are the perfect place to soak up the serenity of your surrounds. Ours is the only group here. The waterfall and array of birds provide the soundtrack. You can participate in fish feeding, with the resident school of Jungle Perch, Turtles and Eels. Swim, explore or just relax.
