Daintree
The Daintree Rainforest, an
ancient World Heritage-listed wonderland in our own
backyard. The Daintree Rainforest of Australia is older than the
Amazon.
The Daintree Rainforest offers a velvety green mantle
of the forest slopes that plunge to the
aqua waters of the Great Barrier
Reef Marine Park. Fringing
reefs grow almost to the shore. No
where else in the world can you
experience these two natural wonders
side by side - where World
Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef and
Daintree rainforest
actually meet.
The quaint Daintree Village, just a
45 minute drive from Port Douglas, is the
perfect base from which to explore
the rainforest region.
From the village, the wonder of the Daintree
and Cape Tribulation is on your doorstep.
There are flora species that have survived
almost unchanged for 110 million years.
The Daintree rainforest actually contain
several of the first flowering plants
(called angiosperms), which were the origins
of all plant life.
You can make your own way into the Daintree
via the Daintree Ferry. It's the only cable
ferry in tropical Australia, and drops you
on the southern part of the lowland Daintree
Rainforest. The ferry operates from 6:00am
to midnight every day.
There's plenty of day trips and activities
to choose from including Aboriginal-guided
rainforest walks with the local Kuku Yalanji
people, river wildlife cruises, guided bird
spotting, Cape Tribulation safaris, river
fishing, horseback riding and bike riding,
exploring secluded tropical beaches and 4WD
adventure safaris.
