Mossman Gorge

Precious rainforest & Aboriginal culture

Land of the Kuku Yalanji people, Mossman Gorge is the gateway to the World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest, an ancient tropical wilderness harbouring the world’s most biologically diverse flora and fauna.

From the visitor centre, shuttle buses reach the gorge entrance, from where you can stroll along an elevated forest boardwalk, hike the longer, 2.4km Rainforest Circuit and cool off in pristine rock pools.

To really appreciate the place, book a 90-minute Kuku-Yalanji Dreamtime Gorge Walk (online or at the Mossman Gorge Centre), which explores the area’s rich Aboriginal culture and includes a traditional smoking ceremony. Tours depart four times daily; see mossmangorge.rezdy.com for times and prices.
