we were picked up 7.30am and taken to Freshwater train station, you have free time. There is a coffee cart where we go breakfast and coffee, and you are able to take it on the train. Also at the station is Musuem and Gift shop, the prices are a bit on the over priced side. We boarded at 9am, and it is a nice ride on a clear day you can see out to Green Island. You also get to get out of the train for a 10 minute photo stop at Barron Gorge. And board again and on to Kuranda Station which you arrive at 11am ish. We then got the shuttle to the main street and walked back stop in little shops along the way, doing this way you avoid the going up hills. We went into Butterfly Sanctuary, which was good maybe a little over priced but we joined a guided tour and learnt a bit more. My brother went into Birdworld and said it was not worth it. He also did the markets, and found some interesting items. On this tour most of the time is un-guided, so make sure you are on the skyrail to come back down at the time you are told too, which was 1.45pm, we boarded it at 1.30pm, there is 2 stations you can get out along the way, which we didn't worry about as it meant a lot of walking but enjoyed the skyrail trip. at each station you get 20 minutes only and you need to re-board.... also you need to change cars half way down. at the bottom there is another Gift store and toilets and refreshments. The bus will meet you at 3.15pm we were back at our hotel at 4pm

not planned well,,, we were meant to board at 12.30pm but the boat was not there so they put us on another boat company going to the island. Trip takes 45minutes each way, we got there and had to walk along the wharf to the Big Cat boat to board our Glass Bottom Boat tour,, it was interesting and Ash was very Knowledgeable. we then walked around the island and took some photo's and had ice cream food and drink on the island is not cheap. don't forget to pack the sunblock. on the 1/2 day tour there is not much time to do both the Glass Bottom and the snorkling. we boarded the big cat boat at 4pm to find out we were on the wrong big Cat boat and should have been on the Reef Rocket it was only when they were checking the names of we found out we should have waited on the island for the 1st boat to depart and the second boat would have come to pick us us. but there should have been some one check this before we left the island. very Confusing. both boats dock at 5pm at the reef fleet terminal, and so do 4 more other companys. this tour would have been better if it was better planned.

We were picked up at 7am by Peter, was excellent Guide and Driver, it is a very long day... especially if you have to pick up people from Palm Cove and Port Douglas it is a very big detour, at least an hour wasted. After everyone was on board, we headed to cross the Daintree River, then into the Daintree Discovery centre for the Board walk you get morning tea here, then on to Cape Tribulation beach and lookout, Alexandra Lookout, BBQ lunch included, the Fish is very nice Steak, Sausage, Salads, Damper and Fruit. then onto Crocodile cruise on the Daintree River we saw 3. Afternoon tea at the dock, Then on to Mossman Gorge another board walk in the tree's. then you start to do hotel drop off's. we got back to our room at 7pm yes it was a 12hour tour, make sure you take your hat sunnies, and sun block. and a bottle of water.
