ESSENTIALS DAINTREE

Dense tropical rainforest, white sandy beaches and the Great Barrier Reef on its doorstep– welcome to the Daintree, a land of striking diversity. At 135 million years old, this magical place is where two UNESCO World Heritage -Listed areas meet: the Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef.

Explore

Hike through the tropical greenery, from short walks to more adventurous mountainous treks that offer waterfalls and pristine mountain streams. Stroll one of the many boardwalks that guide you through different ecosystems including mangroves, the hidden lungs of the earth.

Restore

Being in a remote location, doesn't mean sacrificing comfort or luxury. Retreat to your boutique accommodation after a day exploring, or if you prefer the great outdoors, there are national park or beachfront camping options. Don't miss out on additional offerings such as private walks, bird watching tours, spa treatments and swimming holes.

River Wild

The Daintree River is home to a cornucopia of tropical life and is best discovered by boat. Apex predator, the saltwater crocodile, can be found sunning on sandbars or stealthily swimming through the water and check the trees or stunning azure kingfishers. A cruise on the Daintree River will offer a new perspective on this ancient ecosystem and is a haven for birdwatchers.
