A hidden world of peace and tranquility.
North of Port Douglas and Mossman, near to the southern edge of the Daintree National Park, is a hidden stretch of rainforest river. Cool water under shady rainforest trees makes this a refreshing, laid-back location.
Depending on the time of year, the river will feel alive with the sound of birdlife and insects. River fish and freshwater turtles can be seen through the crystal-clear waters. WindSwell’s stand-up paddleboard tour on a rainforest river is an ideal way to add some natural wonder to a trip to Far North Queensland.
Stand Up Paddle Boarding / River Drifting / Wildlife Spotting / Forest Bathing
Unique, captivating and nature-rich.
Immersed under a secluded ancient rainforest canopy, our fun river SUP will cradle you in mother nature as you paddle upstream through the World Heritage Listed Daintree Rainforest. This low impact adventure will energise the body with a gentle, full-body workout as you explore the rich, tranquil surroundings teeming with life.
We’ll give a full safety briefing and demo on arrival, before traversing through the crystalline freshwater of Mossman Gorge. Along the way our experienced, local instructors will introduce you to a range of native flora and fauna of the wet tropics as you zen-out listening to the gentle buzzing of the rainforest.
You’ll be challenged to take your SUP skills to the next level with some on-board yoga (if you’re game!), before taking to the rope swing as a Tarzan dare-devil.
Afterwards, you can take a refreshing dip in the ‘healing’ river waters of the Kuku Yalanji country and cleanse yourself in a natural body scrub using ochre found on the banks, before tucking into a tropical fruit buffet.
Finally, you’ll finish the session with some ‘extreme paddle boarding’ lol – just lay back, relax and let the smooth current drift you back to base.
