Where ancient rainforest meets the Great Barrier Reef.
Overview
The Daintree Rainforest is the world’s oldest living tropical forest, teeming with biodiversity and Indigenous stories. North of Cairns and stretching to Cape Tribulation, this UNESCO-listed wonder invites travellers to walk among fan palms, spot rare cassowaries, and breathe in the damp, green stillness of prehistoric nature. It’s where two World Heritage sites—the reef and the rainforest—collide in stunning harmony.
See and Do
The local favourite
Cross the Daintree River by ferry and explore boardwalk trails like the Marrdja or Jindalba, which wind through lush jungle and mangrove ecosystems.
A scene of pure natural beauty
Swim in freshwater swimming holes at Mossman Gorge or take a guided walk with a Kuku Yalanji guide to learn about bush medicine and Dreamtime stories.
Adventures in nature
Zip-line through the canopy, cruise the Daintree River to spot crocodiles, or stay in a luxury eco-lodge surrounded by the calls of the wild.
