Step into the rainforest at Mossman Gorge, where crystal-clear water flows over giant boulders and lush greenery surrounds you. Walk along the raised boardwalk to spot colourful butterflies and hidden Boyd’s forest dragons clinging to the trees. It’s like exploring a real-life jungle!

Cross the Rex Creek suspension bridge for an adventurous hike on the Rainforest Circuit. The cool water of the Mossman River is perfect for a refreshing swim on a warm day. Don’t forget to listen for the sounds of birds and other rainforest animals!
