There is not just one, but TWO World Heritage Areas located side by side in the Daintree - the Wet Tropics Rainforest and The Great Barrier Reef.

Wildlife
The Daintree River is one of the best birdwatching sites in Australia, and there is the thrill of spotting crocodiles and rainforest animals in their natural habitat.

The Daintree Rainforest
Parts of the Daintree rainforest are more than 100 million years old, making it one of the oldest rainforests in the world. Enjoy the rainforest experience in many different ways.

The Great Barrier Reef
Cape Tribulation is very close to the reef, which means more time diving/snorkelling and less time spent travelling.

The Beaches Of The Daintree Coast
The Daintree is the perfect place for rest and relaxation, with long deserted beaches for swimming, beach-combing, and doing absolutely nothing.

The History
Take a glimpse into the Daintree’s colourful past, and learn about the pioneers and the cedar timber getters of an earlier generation, in the quaint Daintree Village.

The Cassowary
