Mossman Gorge
A clear gorge at the southern end of Daintree National Park, where water runs between boulders, with a rainforest loop walk and a guided Dreamtime tour by Indigenous guides.
Mossman Gorge lies about 20 km northwest of Port Douglas, where the Mossman River flows between granite boulders to form cool pools. Visitors must transfer to the gorge by shuttle bus (ticket required) from the Mossman Gorge Centre, run by the local Indigenous Kuku Yalanji people. On foot, you can reach the Rex Creek suspension bridge and a roughly 2.4 km rainforest loop. You can also book a Ngadiku Dreamtime guided tour to learn about traditional plants and culture. When the water is calm you can paddle in designated areas, but after heavy rain the current can be dangerous, so follow all warning signs.
Opening hours
approx. 08:00–18:00 (follow shuttle bus schedule)
