northeast80 Says: I borrowed a bike from my hostel and cycled here, I got a free map from the Information Centre in Mission Beach, hid my bike in the bushes and took a small hike up Bicton Hill. I saw huge spiders, heard casowaries, just being in the rainforest on my own was so special I had...
Yasmi Says: Crocodari does crocodile spotting night cruises from Mission Beach. They guarantee you'll see a crocodile in its natural habitat, so our expectations were high. Well they didn't guarantee the size of the crocodiles, so we ended up seeing only babies. A little dissapointing,...
northeast80 Says: I spent quite a while in this place, there's loads of books you can read through and displays about the local wildlife, the women who work in there will tell you everything there is to know about it too. Some of us were shown a video about the Casowarys. A fountain of...
Search the rainforest for the Cassowari
Yasmi Says: We weren't lucky to see one, but Mission beach and Daintree rainforest areas are the only places in the world that you even have a chance of spotting one, so keep your eyes open and take some time walkin the rainforest to catch a glimpse of on.
White Water Rafting - Tully River
squidly2 Says: My husband and I took the full-day Tully River trip in 2005. Raging Thunder and R&R charge the same price and are the only 2 operators. We went with R&R. It was awesome! They provide round-trip transprotation to/from your lodging from Port Douglas to MIssion Beach. The...
Yasmi Says: After doing lots of research on places to skydive in East Coast Australia, I decided that Mission Beach would be the perfect place to do it. There are two main operators in Mission Beach and I talked to a few locals, and they all recommended Pauls Parachuting because of its...
bluesmama Says: The beach is so beautiful, lined with coconut trees. Real paradise. The sand has a sort of orangy colour and is great for building sandcastles. First time I was there it was so hot we couldn't walk on the sand with our bare feet without getting them burnt.Second time the...
bluesmama Says: There is a good path through the rainforest in Mission Beach. The hostel we stayed dropped us off at the far end of the trail and then we walked back thorugh the rainforest. We were told that there wasn't many cassowaries left so we shouldn't expect to see one. So imagine...
mocca Says: Australia has tons of birds, and mission beach is a good place too see many. But what does it make special??? This is one of the places where you can see a Casowarie, an endangered walking bird. Only about 50 live in this region, so if you see one you are lucky. But 2 things...
northeast80 Says: I loved this place, from its no shoe policy to its free dvds and plentiful mattresses to watch them on. To the individually decorated rooms, lots of bunk beds in each room but it felt very community like, some people had been there a while, there were no locks on the doors,...
northeast80 Says: Free pick up from the Greyhound bus stop as it's quite a way from the main high street, AU£20 per night plus AU$10 deposit for cutlery and plates, I always resent a place for having to do this.The rooms were dark and dingy, and things seemed a little dirty. I got bitten to...
Santuary Retreat: The real wilderness
squidly2 Says: My husband and I loved this place - especially for the price! We stayed in a tent hut, and saw a cassowary every day we were there! We visited in August; the temperature was comfortable. We had a rental car - it is about a 20 minute hike to the parking area. They'll take you...
Beach Shack: Hostel in peaceful surroundings
globetrotter06 Says: Stayed here for 3 nights. It is a place in nowhere more or less. But you can go by the minibus to Mission Beach Town Centre if you need something. Otherwise just lay by the beach or the swimming pool and enjoy the peace and tranquility.The hostel itself is nice. But the...
Castaways on the Beach: Luxury at Mission Beach
Yasmi Says: Castaways on the Beach is located, well as it name gives away, right on the beach. All the rooms have private balconies facing the ocean. You can choose from regular hotel rooms to well equipped spa units. The staff was really friendly and the restaurant served great food....
Cafe coconutz: Asian influenced menu
Yasmi Says: Well, the food was really good also, but there was so much going on at this restaurant that the best part was just watching the people. All of them weren't so happy, but i met this guy later on in the evening that explained me why. but we had fun :-)
Yasmi Says: A nice lunch place right at Mission Beach "city" Has some good pizza and great Pasta, but the service wasn't that great, just ok.
Castaways Hotel Restaurant: Quality food
Yasmi Says: The Castaways Hotel Restaurant has great food in nice surroundings next to the pool and with a view to the beach. I tried Kangaroo here and it was really good. On busy weekends remember to make a reservation. They have an excellent selection of wines to go with the...
mocca Says: Mission beach contains of 3 houses or so (not really sure how many so, but it is very small). So the only nightlife you will see is either in the room of your hostel or the bar from your hostel.
robertgaz Says: After a leisurely morning we set out for our final destination, South Mission Beach.We paddled past the exclusive and luxurious resort of Bedarra Island and the more family orientated Dunk Island.After unpacking our now familiar kayaks, on the golden beaches here, we pack...
bluesmama Says: Dowd's water taxis have about six daily services from Wongaling Beach to Dunk Island.When I was there return price was 22$.But ask at the hostels, they can sometimes get you discounts.
