Question

Answer 1

yes, there are plenty of day trips that you can take to the daintree.  leaving around 8am - the tour guide will pick you up and drop you back to your hotel at around 6pm.  This leaves you plenty of time to get to the airport.

Answer 4

The driving time from Cairns to Daintree is approx 1.5 hrs therefore plenty of time to spend on Daintree.

I would suggest instead of trying to do everything, focus on one thing that you enjoy doing and spend more time on it.

My suggestions:

1. Get a massage at Daintree ecolodge and feast on the gourmet bush tucker food (A perfect way to finish your holiday).

I did this last year, it's very relaxing. Daintree ecolodge spa was voted to be one of the best by Conde Nest Traveller and it doesn't cost a fortune. I had a massage (straight after the massage they gave me tea and fruit to bring me back to the world) then followed by a dip in their swimming pool.

Afterwards, I had a feast at their floating restaurant (floting in a pond). I had prawns served with bush nuts and leaves (it's a salad) but very very scrumptious and filling. I had it wiht a glass of sparkling and finished it with devonshire tea :).

2. Go swimming in Mossman Gorge and spend time soaking on the surrounding atmosphere followed by an ice cream from one of their very small convinient store

The gorge has a very refreshing cool water. I jumped, swam, played around and lied next to the gorge. I was told at the end of the gorge there's a crocodile which lived there for a while but there's no way of it heading to the gorge because the gorge is higher than the river where the crocodile lived. I spent one whole day there and didn't see a soul :) so don't worry about the crocs and just swim and stay within the Gorge.

3. Join a Daintree River cruise at Daintree river followed a visit to Daintree timber gallery.

You get to experience seeing mangroves and wildlife (including crocodiles) :) then you can go shopping at the timber gallery :)

4. Join a birdwatching tour

A friend of mine did it and they saw a lot of different species of birds including the 'right in your face type one cassowary :)

Hope this helps :)
