Daintree Rainforest

Daintree Rainforest

The oldest rainforest in the world is the Daintree Rainforest, located in Tropical North Queensland, Australia. This rainforest is a must-see while visiting North Queensland. The largest tropical rainforest in Australia is over 1,200 square kilometres.  This rainforest is home to numerous animal and plant species unique to this region. All visitors should experience this region on either a day trip or an overnight stay.  The Daintree Rainforest is easily accessible from Cairns and Port Douglas.

So many things to see and do

Visit Mossman Gorge, take a Daintree River crocodile cruise, cross the river on the ferry, and then go to Cape Tribulation.

Daintree River Cruises

North of Port Douglas, on the Daintree River, you may experience the rainforest up close by taking a cruise.  Along the way, visitors often spot giant crocodiles sunning themselves on the river banks.   This region has abundant bird life and is a great way to explore this ancient rainforest. The great dividing river that separates the Daintree rainforest from the rest of the world is called the Daintree River.  Crossing the river marks your arrival in the breathtaking tropical forest. The Daintree River is home to a bewildering variety of tropical plant and animal life.  Marine life, including the saltwater crocodile, can be found in this region. Under no circumstances should anyone get too close to the riverbank and, under no circumstances, swim in the river.
